| Re: The Mind Is A Secondary Organ
As long as I can see that, when a mind is guided rather than led, your statement rings true but I think I would oppose if it is to be considered as though it was external of the health. The mind as the matter it intakes or the mind as the matter it digests.

YO! ![]() I should like to reconsider my belief in, "Where mind meets matter", and/or the biology of perception. I checked it out with somone really knowledgeable about biology and learn it to be a fraud. The most sucessful frauds always do have an element of truth to them, this theory will fool many laypeople. This however does not discredit the title topic, that the mind is a secondary organ, indeed life is possiable with just a brain stem or as in some creatures no apparent brain whatsoever. Man as an organism is a community, it is the community that built the brain/mind not the mind that built the community. Last edited by boagie; 10-12-2008 at 01:56 PM. |

![]() Of course we subscribe to only the true parts. Bruce has gone over to the New Agers, but his insight remains even though he has forgotten it. Your biologist no doubt believes in DNA as the brains of the outfit, which is the true fraud.

![]() Well, I really wanted to believe it to, but apparently the man makes an outrageous jump in his logic, there should be a hint in that he appears to be giving a lecture on it to a university audience, this is stage I believe, and he has gone over to the less than reputable self help genre. If his peers do not support him, you do have to wonder why. |

![]() I put it down to age and living under the tropic sun so long. He has left his one true insight far behind, but he is happy. We do want him to be happy don't we?
