(Balance!) Consciousness, identity, OBEs... (Identity)

First, I never said that 'mind' was immaterial, which is one of the major differences between my point of view and standard Dualism. I think we covered this topic in some depth in our discussion of God as organized energy, which is no different than what I view 'mind' or soul to be. Energy is very physical, and thus there is no interaction problem between an energy form and the brain, which is by design quite adept at manipulating and responding to energetic influences.-Your explanation is still caught; in order for us to do computations using entanglement, we need supercold. (Right now superhot could only have happened during the big bang.) Computations are the minimum set of operations that our minds can perform. So any explanation of entanglement as a linkage between energy and physicality needs to overcome this barrier. The amount of energy in our bodies is nearly 600 degrees too warm and at least 2400 degrees too cool for entanglement to be of any use. -We know that we don't have a cloud of energy following us around outside of what we radiate as heat. -So where is this energy located?

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
