Where Is Our Mind?
No one has been able to find the location of our minds. The fixed finite physical brain cells are not able to explain the experiences, memories, visions, capabilities and thoughts relative to our mind and consciousness.
“The concepts which now prove to be fundamental to our understanding of nature…seem to my mind to be structures of pure thought…The universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great machine.” — Physicist James Jeans (1877 - 1946)
“My first idea was that it (consciousness) has to be hardwired in the brain. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how something like that is possible. Today, I came to the conclusion that it is not coming from the brain. In that sense, it supports what Aldous Huxley believed after he had some powerful psychedelic experiences and was trying to link them to the brain. He came to the conclusion that maybe the brain acts as a kind of reducing valve that actually protects us from too much cosmic input…I don’t think you can locate the source of consciousness. I am quite sure it is not in the brain–not inside of the skull…It actually, according to my experience, would be beyond time and space, so it is not localizable. You actually come to the source of consciousness when you dissolve any categories that imply separation, individuality, time, space and so on. You just experience it as a presence.” — Stanislav Grof, M.D., Ph.D., Freudian Psychoanalyst, Assistant Professor Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Chief of Psychiatric Research at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, — “Your Eternal Self” by Craig Hogan, Ph.D.
“that the mind is a separate entity from the brain, and that mental processes cannot be reduced to neurochemical brain processes, but on the contrary direct them. And…a mind may conceivably exist without a brain.” — “Sir John Eccles, internationally recognized brain researcher whose work has had a major influence on brain research.” — “Your Eternal Self” by Craig Hogan, Ph.D.
The revelations that are beginning to explain the mystery of our minds, consciousness, and thought origination is, undoubtedly, one of the most important considerations that humans are becoming aware of today.
