However, given that there are no reputable studies of ghosts genuinely, measurably "appearing", it's hard - nigh on impossible - to develop an experiment to "see what happens" - as nothing has ever objectively been proven to "happen". Yes, and that is my point also. I sometimes watch a local television program that "investigates" haunted places. However, the investigators are pretty much already bought-into the reality of ghosts, so they are hardly objective. They carry round thermometers and other meters (I'm not quite sure what they are) and measure cold spots and so on. The starting point would be fairly simple - provided professional scientists were willing to be involved. Cameras, microphones, thermometers, pressure gauges, magnetometers, Geiger tubes ... the lot. If there are any disturbances, they will be detected. But as I have said, unless the experiment is carried out by professional scientists, no one will take it seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kartikg Posted October 23, 2017 #379 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I believe that consciousness is like software which needs to be run on hardware either biological or non biological and might not exist without the hardware. Also i feel it's very tightly bound with the hardware because whenever a person has head injury or brain clots, their consciousness is altered or affected. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People so quickly compare the brain to a computer, but ignore the fact that a computer has the ability to receive wifi signal and go on the internet. I see consciousness as the internet and the brain as the computer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read a few books on this topic and I find it very interesting. I think we are pure consciousness living in a human body. So of coarse when we leave the body we are still going to be conscious just in another form and dimension. It has been said that we are multidimensional beings. I do believe proof of that is near death experiences. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriOra Posted November 2, 2017 #386 Share Posted November 2, 2017 How little we know about the mind! Where it exists, what it's composition is, what it's boundaries are.. we know when it is operative and we can understand that it apparently can become unconscious. But where is it during a period of unconsciousness?? Does it evaporate into nothingness? If so, how does it return? How can it return if it has been nowhere? If it be in existence through a period of unconsciousness, why are we not conscious at the seat of consciousness, and just where, in the physical body, is this seat of consciousness??.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a flat tire it’s going to effect the way you drive it. That doesn’t make you one with the car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquila King Posted December 10, 2017 #398 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I saw that series a while back when it first aired on NatGeo. That and Through the Wormhole were some of Morgan Freeman's best docuseries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+joc Posted December 11, 2017 #400 Share Posted December 11, 2017 On 9/20/2017 at 5:04 PM, Aquila King said: Many materialists will assert that higher consciousness functioning is possible at the base of the spinal column precisely because conscious experiences such as NDE's occur while the base of the spinal column is the only part of the brain that is active. Whereas spiritualists like myself claim that this is proof positive that consciousness is not generated by the brain because it is only the base of the spinal column that is active during a NDE and the whole brain would be required to supposedly generate consciousness. We don't even know what the Whole Brain even does....but I think the important thing is that the Neo-Cortex is where all imagery happens...it doesn't happen in the spinal column....and....even if there is no apparent neo-cortex activity, that doesn't mean anything really. Think of it is as when your leg falls to sleep...you can't feel anything...until it starts to wake up...so when the neo-cortex begins to wake up...that is when the NDEs occur...in my layman's opinion. Having said that...I don't even know how to explain what people have seen during the NDEs...but I will never believe that consciousness happens outside of actual Life. That is what Life is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
