What do you make of God/s

I'm not into aliens being a reality. and all the baggage that comes with believing that.

there is an intelligent dynamic to existence, how that exists I don't know.

it is interesting that string theory produces specific types of computer code by pure accident in discovery of it.

It is also interesting that two plus one is three

nay.....I AM!.....is a definitive

The definitive self

is that a concession?

That's elimination of the I AM

Ha ha. . I read the Zohar. It's a phrenology like science to tell personality traits from facial features. The Kabalic tree of life is ten human virtues.
It's just fabled conventional knowledge

I'd rather quote the Septuagint.
As for Descartes, I can be certain scientists would agree the pineal gland is not where thoughts are formed.

and God said to Moses.....
Tell the people .....I AM!.....has made this law
and they with understanding will know whose law this is....

the question was.....what shall I say to the people when they ask whose law this is?

Are you saying modern law follows from Deuteronomy

I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it

No need for confession boxes

Yes..consciousness meaning awareness and self awareness

Hey, BSL, trying to get your drift and I think we are somewhat talking past each other. I agree with the fact that without the chemical reactions and nerve impulses there would be no consciousness. But I fail to understand how those things are consciousness rather than the generator, if you will, of consciousness. Can you show that consciousness itself has physical properties, rather than the things that produce it? My understanding is that consciousness has no dimensions, no mass, and takes up no space. How can it be physical in nature?

Easy. Consciousness is a process that happens in brains. No oogity-boogity needed.

You need to resist the religious error of supposing that everything is a substance or a person. Let's get free of these ancient mistakes of thinking.

A step in the right direction?

saw an anesthesiologist interviewed.....and he dabbles in physics.....

must admit he does not understand where the awareness goes
he is well versed in the chemistry and expectations.....
but doesn't really 'get it'

 

[Thief]

A step in the right direction?

as we stand before God and heaven .....ALL that we think and feel
ALL that we have done can be seen

we came into this life naked
we go into the next....even more so
