According to this article, scientists are 'mapping' specific personality qualities in the brain. They have been able to locate areas associated with many different qualities; however, as stated below, they have not been able to 'map' everything yet.

quote:
"The one major personality trait that did not have an association with a brain area volume in this study was openness/intellect, which includes people who are creative, philosophical, imaginative, and intellectually engaged. This is also the only trait that has been associated with intelligence in previous research. Further study would be needed to determine how biology might be related to this trait."

Hmmm-mm,

It sounds like they're trying to map a person's degree of consciousness. Maybe there's no spot for that.  Maybe it has to do with love and will and gratitude, aspects of hat's been called spirit.  ??

Bets

What they continually miss is that consciousness is not the brain and the brain is not consciousness.  It isn't all physical, folks.

  I agree Pat, but the interesting thing to me is noticing the pattern and reality of consciousness shaping physical and physical shaping consciousness.

This can and does happen because they are intertwined and contained within the same whole Field of Consciousness.

  Unfortunately, too often in science this leads to them concluding that consciousness experiences and awareness's are physically based for often there are physical indications or reflections there in the body/physical.  I'm reminded of the researcher who would use intense magnetic fields on the brain and who produced at will various nonphysical experiences and perceptions.  He concluded that these were only phyiscal based and that all such nonphysical experiences and perceptions were likewise.  What he didn't consider was the possibility that he was just artificially opening up people's bodies more to the perceptions of those kind of nonphysical realities--akin to the way that some drugs do so.

  I believe in the future, after the changes, more humans will be more fully conscious to how and why consciousness shapes the physical, and we will work with these like attracts and begets like laws.

  For an example, in the future there will be collective work to raise and balance the vibratory patterns of our physical bodies.  The reason why is because our consciousness can be and is often limited by the state of the physical vehicle we use.  A lacking analogy is that a really good driver (akin to a mature consciousness) can do lot's of good with a beat up, old box of a car, but that same driver can really show their skill and developement in a newer Porshe (or whatever is a really high quality, fast, etc. make of a car). 

  We will "up our genetics" in order to be able to shine more of our consciousness Light in and through the vehicles we use.  We will co-create better light bulbs that can handle higher wattage and voltage.

  This will eventually lead to humans with God like creative abilities akin to some very mature E.T. groups now. 

  There will be a collective focus on holistic health which will facilitate the gradual developement and manifestation of these kinds of human bodies. 

  Focus on right attitude, right diet, right exercise, right sexual relations with others, etc. 

  Also, increased Solar radiation and radiation from the Galactic Core streaming into the Earth in these future periods will have a strong effect on human bodies being developed and born in the future. 

  This will greatly speed up the process, and really jump start it initially.  Fetuses who are developing in the womb during the initial intense flares will be born more consciously psychic than most people are today--especially those whose mothers who will intuitively know to pray and meditate a lot during these times.
