I wasn't aware of my body when I started reading your response. Then the thought of a body popped in when I read human male body. I have one of those too, but it's not prior to, or the cause of anything. I'm simply pointing at non local awareness in this, and the post you quoted. You only have to be aware of a painful sensation, or a contradiction (hot/cold, itching, etc.). There is no need to be aware of the whole body at all times, but that I interpret as a bodily action itself. That doesn't mean that a body is a separate entity, but it doesn't mean that awareness isn't dependent on the body either. To the bolded- Is mind the brain? We really don't have to be aware of the body at all times because awareness is in every cell of the body, and beyond. |

Would you have a thought about a non local awareness without the body? Without, for example, the brain?You only have to be aware of a painful sensation, or a contradiction (hot/cold, itching, etc.). There is no need to be aware of the whole body at all times, but that I interpret as a bodily action itself. That doesn't mean that a body is a separate entity, but it doesn't mean that awareness isn't dependent on the body either. To the bolded- Is mind the brain? We really don't have to be aware of the body at all times because awareness is in every cell of the body, and beyond. Are you aware of every cell in the body? Are you aware of a beyond? To the bolded-I haven't carved my brain off, but I'm hearing the people who had this happen to them can't think straight. Mind means thoughts, which happen around the head and have a 100% correlation with the brain. Other organs (the whole body) do participate, but beyond reasonable doubt, brain is the powerhouse. |

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine a beautiful sunset. See the colors as vividly as possible for a few seconds. Did you see the sunset? Where? Are there images inside the brain that match what our eyes see? |

Are there images inside the brain that match what our eyes see? I didn't see it, but I did imagine it, thought about it, 'see' it with my mind's eye. Now, would I be able to do that if I haven't had a healthy, intact brain? Would I be able to do that if I had a severe headache? No. Most importantly: What is the knowledge that I can imagine an object without awareness of 'having' a brain useful for? What does it bring? |

Where is this 'mind's eye' you mentioned? In the brain? |

It's being aware. What's your point? My point is I'm unable to follow what you're saying. Brain function and awareness have an undeniable correlation. Awareness isn't all that primal. |
