Hello again,

I haven't been on these forums in quite a while for various reasons, however I managed to stumble upon a rather interesting article which appears to offer yet more evidence for the survival of consciousness, from a theoretical physicist's point of view.

I found it rather exciting, particularly as a somewhat cynical skeptic.
Give it a read if you can spare the time or haven't seen it before :)

Thanks for the link. I started to read the questions/answers by Wolf and throughly enjoyed what I have read. I will take more "time" to read the complete work.  Thank you so much!

Thanks, Above, I've started reading it now, very interesting.

I have often thought that the soul might be a dense quantum energy field that hovers just over or near the head. Maybe ths is what we call an aura

Excellent reading! Thanks a lot.

Alan, I have read that the body is over the soul and not the reverse??The catholic religion says the the soul enters the body.

My question was--- then is there a soul in each sperm that might become a fetus?  Some may laugh --- but then what person has the right to say when the soul (or visa versa) enters a human body?
Good question-----

Read the rest of it now, the first half was more interesting, really. But overall a very nice read. I'm wondering, though, is this interview just a Q&A made by Wolf? It really sounds like it is.

Your consciousness does not reside within your body.

Your body resides within your consciousness.

:o

That's a really good remark, Dude.

What natural scientists all too often don't realize when they try to go philosophic and attempt to explain matters of consciousness in terms of their profession is, their own science is a result of what they attempt to explain: The mind. I mean, what is gained when we label the soul a "quantum field"? With the same right, I can label my fingernail to be a "quantum field". That's all just labeling and word-juggle.

TMI sent this viedo. It's very interesting. After the video, there was a response on line. Naturally---some say it was the spearation of the left brain from the right that made the illusion testified in the film. Enjoy!  cat


If you haven't seen the TED video by Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of Insight, you've missed something of great importance. All of us here at TMI fell in love with her wonderful presentation. Her personal explanation of right/left brain experiences and her new appreciation for life itself underscores the work you have all supported here at TMI.

Checking it out now. :)

Wow, thanks for the tip, that vid was fascinating. I can't believe how she spent 45 minutes or whatever dialing the number! I guess the lesson is to try and live more in the now, without needlessly worrying what happens tomorrow, not to mention what happened yesterday.
