Racoon:
"To provide 24 hours electricity is now rocket science" They always have an excuse or something to blame for their ineptitude & incompetency.
Their excuse is not enough money but the reason is not enough brains.

So, this is what is happening, you will be experiencing this fluctuation due to all these issues around gas to power because gas is not something that we control directly, they will not give you gas until you pay. So, we are looking at ways to solve that issue.

It is possible to 'see' thought forms which forms mind. Some persons are gifted with the ability to view, not with the naked eyes, what you're thinking and able to predict your next move.

But there's a raging controversy in certain quarters that neuroscientists should not proceed further for ethical reasons as it would mean that in the future unscrupulous individuals in possession of such scanners can view in pictures what exactly you're dreaming or thinking about and predict your next move

Not a good thing really.
Why "Not a good thing really" if "some persons are gifted with the ability"?

I specifically went searching for the following in the article you posted:

Because brains differ so much, the scientists need a good idea of what a person's brain activity looks like when they are thinking something to be able to spot it in a scan, but researchers are already devising ways of deducing what patterns are associated with different thoughts.
Basically, they must know what's on my mind in order to be able to read my mind.

Scammers must also be provided with one's personal information before they can 'read' one's mind, even with a scanner.

This explanation is necessary because current brain theory says consciousness is controlled by the brain. That is true to a certain extent, but not completely true. It is within the physical body alone that consciousness requires a brain to operate the body. Outside the physical body it can operate unhindered by the brain. This is simple to understand but it is not understood by everyone. For instance, while in my car moving from one point to another, the car engine which acts as the 'brain' to make the car to move , but outside my car taking a stroll, I don't need the car and it's engine to move about. I can walk freely. Also I don't need my car mirror to view what is behind me . If I want to see anything I use my eyes.That is it.
It is simple to understand but it is definitely not true that "Outside the physical body it can operate unhindered".

Take your car engine. It does not in any way "act as the brain" and it can not walk freely. You car moves under the specific direction of the brain of the driver otherwise it remains in park, non-operated and hindered by its lack of a brain.

At death, mind is dissolved but memories contained in mind is retained in what is called the root consciousness, the real being.
You were doing so well until the above. There is no way to check if memories contained in mind is retained at death.

triplechoice:
It is for this reason some persons can recall
memories of their previous lives in a new body. Everyone who has lived before can recall their previous lifetime if they choose to. There are methods one can use to have this recall, and with what is recalled subjected to
some validation to ensure the individual is not just imagining things as a past life recall.
Sigh! Or should I say, pity such people do not write history books so their facts could be checked.

Same thing you do if you lack the tools for any job. You go do unskilled work requiring no tools or you go work for someone who has tools until you raise tool money for yourself.

Despite that, I still said that it is unlikely for Trump to be completely innocent because I don't think the FBI is stupid enough to pull this stunt without probable cause.
I'd think the fact the classified documents were actually found in his Lago shows the FBI is not stupid, did not lie, and moves the cause from probable to actual, but I'll rest my bot for now.

Do know that I am querying your writing because I think you can use your brain. I ignore the brainless who don't or can't.

What does that have to do with the FBI lying to FISA court, though?
What does FBI lying to FISA court have to do with getting a subpoena to search Mara Lago where they found what they were looking for? Does one lie now justify scrapping the FBI?

It is not unreasonable to assume that this agency has it out for him. Whether you think he is a bad President or not, the FBI's past conduct concerning Trump has been appalling.
It is not unreasonable to assume that more than half the voting Americans are out for him too. "Why the fùq is FBI not arresting his orange ass already", some would say but, it would still be an assumption.

Northerners will still vote buhari for the 3rd term. They were all suffering when they voted him for a second term.
Many Southerners were suffering and still voted for Buhari second term too, but I doubt Southerners or Northerners would comfortably vote Buhari third term unless they want to suffer some more.

I understand where you are coming from here and in fact I am tempted to fully agree, save the fact that in my particular view of things, the mind deals more with self-consciousness and thus the daily or waking consciousness of a person whereas the spirit is more root or original consciousness.
I acknowledge your "in my particular view of things", but does that not depend on the depth of your sight?

"The mind deals more with self-consciousness" would imply a lack of its complicity in me loosing my mind, though that was not my point. I was merely pointing out the muddle you wrote yourself into and presented as a definition of the spirit to which you gave a material being and a physical space to without showing how or where.

DeepSight:
This goes deep into the recesses of a being, through and beyond the sub-conscious (where the mind is also entangled) right up to the unconscious.
What is the "sub-conscious", and how did you arrive at this "my particular view of things"?

DeepSight:
If I were to make a rough analogy with a computer, I would say the body is the hardware, the mind is the soft-ware, the spirit is the electric power that vitalizes the entire system.
My Lord and I have this joke whereby we find religion distorting and interfering with proper sight and thought, and his might be an example.

Can you see how you've trinitarised? Can you consider a quarternity?

The mind is not the soft-ware unless you have a programmer who must enspirit the hardware, hence God or one's master or oneself educating the mind which is then what resources and empowers and vitalizes the entire system of the being, I would think. Electric power does after all not come like manna from Gods in heaven but must be generated from available resources.

In my particular view of things, of course.

That said, consider the following that seems to suggest the DNA is the book of one's life. Sounds like the path one is vitalized to unwaveringly follow.

Sorry I did not quote you Mr President. I wouldn't want you to think I endorse your particular view of things.

U are easily deceived. If buhari contests for a 3rd term he will comfortably win the north. So buhari is not the target, tinubu is
You can't easily deceive me into thinking that the North with all its jobless uneducated youthful alimanjeris are comfortable with Buhari.

To believe such nonsense I must first ignorantly deceive myself that the northerners are not human like me.

But what I mean here is that the spirit is the core intangible root consciousness of being. Whereas the mind may be viewed as that intangible space where the spirit meets the body, where our memories, worldly identity and daily self consciousness reside, and where we think and organize our lives and our activity, the realm of our thoughts.
I wonder if more accurate would not be, "the spirit is the core intangible root unconsciousness of being", which I'd still hesitate to accept.

Your description view kind of shifts the conscious on to the mind.

Before you ask, I think I defined spirit somewhere on this thread -

https://www.nairaland.com/6942843/matter-mind/7#109541872
DeepSight:
@ LordReed, triplechoice -

Definition & Description of Spirit - (for the purposes of this discussion):

The vital principle, essential animating force and root-consciousness (of living, sentient and sapient beings).

It manifests itself in the world of matter principally through the physical body, and engages in activity therein and has experiences thereby, but its consistency is of a lighter nature than matter, which is heavy by comparison. It has its domicile in the spiritual dimension with which it shares the same consistency and nature, and which dimension is different from, and lighter than the world of matter, even if attached to the world of matter.
Consistency implies physical matter, and would answer the question what. Domicile implies a particular location, and would answer the question where. Dimension implies size, and would partly answer what. And all 3 remind me of being and time and space, the fundamentals of matter.

Would you understand therefore if the very next question after the aboves would be, show me where this spirit is so I can see for myself what it is made of?

Unless you are asking to be believed, of course.

I guess what I am trying to understand from your viewpoint is why would an independent aspect of the mind body duality be needing to cause these chemical and biological changes.
Which "independent aspect of the mind body", my Lord?

LordReed:
Why is there any sort of feedback?
Same reason there is feedback from the mouth when a hammer is hit on the finger. All sorts of connections imply co-dependence, at least.

P.s. I've lost his viewpoint and might go digging.
