I'm pretty sure I have a soul lol
I've never been so early to a Thoughty2 video.
I don't have a soul in terms of popular game Deltarune.
Sentient energy?
How many would sell their soul to have their hair grow back?
I don’t know, there’s something fishy about existence as a whole
That does sound like something Monokuma would say ;)
Yep that’s because God is actually a giant fish that created reality from his burping.
I insufflated 60mg 5-meO-DMT one Day (wont recommend it)
And it felt like reality froze and i was able to see Every regret in life it felt like i was standing on a platform about to be shot into a White light that i would reside for ethernity.
Immagine after letting go of Ego through forgiveness that is being in a White light where there's a feeling of the purest love you could possibly immagine and being that love for ethernity.
It felt like heaven dude wont say that it is but it felt like it.
After that i hugged my mom happy to be alive 😂
@@wissewester1276 Okay you were tripping on drugs, what's your point?
I agree, we should stop that.
I had a heart attack Saturday evening, the aorta nicknamed “The Widowmaker” was 99% blocked. While I was at the clinic, I went into cardiac arrest and was clinically dead for two minutes (edited, after seeing my cardiologist and getting the timeline of events from him). I saw no tunnel, no light, didn’t float above my body. I’m laying on a bed in the ICU, as I write this. I have always believed we do have a soul, but I say this as pragmatically as possible…dying isn’t as scary as I thought it would be, because I had no idea it had happened. I spent years worrying about it, and I can say with absolute certainty that it no longer bothers me, because it’s out of my control, so why fret for nothing?
Get well soon💪🏾❤️❤️
Dodge a bullet! Feel better soon. 🇨🇦❤️
Dam thats crazy, how does the fact you died make you feel? I died too before although totally diffrent I was a IV fentenal user and I was doing my thing one day a saterday as well actually. Anyways lost my needle so started sniffing and all I remember was doing 1 pack like 2pm and this chick gave me some shit from another guy i didnt know, did the 2nd one like 3:30. After that I was gone lights out, although apparently I was actually up and continued to party even though the man inside my head was not dead yet but very quickly fading. I only can recall 2 moments during the process of the overdoes. I called my mom right before the OD happened moments before idk why but I remember her begging me to stop that I didnt sound right then nothing. The second is so vauge and wierd it feels like it was a dream I can barley racall good way to describe it is like i was literally inside my head like my brain had no contact with my body i was only thoughts, I wasnt scared at all by any means no pain just colors blurred colors. Honestly I remember exactly what I said to my self that moment I said "Man my jaw is clenching bad" "my jaw is really tight my teeth shit I musta did too much" soon as I realized I od inside nothing again. Thank the great almighy lord Jesus Christ cus the next thing I remember I hear the girl yelling my name and I sat tf up fast as hell. Out of the 7 people 2 of them only 2 noticed how bad I was before I went into the shower the other 5 they took my wallet while I was receiving CPR, other 2 they apparently pulled me out stark naked I was totally blue and they said I had no heart beat that I went into cardiac arrest. This experience has changed me at the deepest levels, it does bother me because this was totally in my control and preventable. Sober bout 18 months now doing great.
Many people that have some type of NDE don't fear death anymore... unless it's a distressing NDE...
@@eazy6ip628 Noah, the fact that I clocked out hit me Tuesday night. How do I feel? Like I'm one lucky SOB. Very few people survive the Widowmaker heart attack. I can't say that I have a new-found appreciation for life (maybe that'll come later), but I do know that I will never ever take anything for granted ever again.
I always thought that a brain is like a radio. If you showed a radio to someone that didn't know anything about modern tech, they would think the radio is responsible for the music, sounds and voices it produces. He can damage the radio and it will stop transmitting, he could take a certain circuit out and the radio's behavior would change, and this would reinforce his ignorance that the radio itself is producing the sounds, voices, and songs. In similar fashion, a brain (any brain, not just. human) is like a tuner on the conscious fabric of the universe.
Steven I love your brain it make a lot of sense...radio is nothing but a body..but radio frequency most important...proud of you
Since starting to study psychology at uni (specifically the classes about the brain itself and the role of different regions) my more pragmatic side has settled on the brain being akin to a computer and consciousness being like our operating system. (Like windows)
The experience that simply results from all the processes of all the different parts of our brain - put together.
The result of us having all our senses, as well as brain areas involved in logical thinking, emotional processing, reasoning and problem solving and others all wired together.
It’s a bit depressing really cus I also like to think our thoughts and inner world of our minds that we are conscious of are something of a more quantum nature existing on a different plain, in a kind of spiritual way.
It also makes me think Animals are conscious too, and smarter than we give them credit for.
Life forms are amazing meat machines.
Computers are amazing metal minds.
That's a very good analogy!! Thanks!! Makes a lot of sense.
That is really interesting. Thank you for sharing it.
In 2000 my wonderful mum was admitted in a hospital.She got super ill.I remember walking into her wade room hearing talking to her long passed away brother. When I entered the room the late brother of hers left.She was telling him not to leave her and there I was standing and she switched to our world. That moment I realized my mum connecting with another world she was soon leaving this our world and in 2001/3rd January she left....her soul left.

Truth, his videos are amazing, I wonder if he writes his own scripts? He must buy a ton of stock footage!
@@rebandmike I believe he has writers.
I think that's a bit too much hey. It takes a lot to have the title PhD before your name.
He's not a philosopher he just recites what the mainstream media tells him along with billionaire backed big pharma "scientists"

'Do you have a soul' sounds like something vsauce would say
"do you have a soul"
*Eye brow raise*
"What IS a soul?"
*vsauce music starts*
If I'm not mistaken he HAS done a consciousness video before so there's a good chance he did say that. XD
Or would he
Or do you??? Music kicks in!!!
"Hey Vsauce, Michael here! *his eyes glow for some reason* Do you have a soul?"
i'm very lucky to be alive after a tragic accident in 2018. i had no chance of surviving. i saw myself a few meters above my body. it was total silence. like i was deaf. everything was black and white, no colors at all. i had no material form. but i could somehow look around. above me was pitch black. i could move my attention around. if i close my eyes and look inside my mind, no matter what i imagine i can't see myself, i have no form. in that state was something similar. it was above me a sphere of light, but with no rays like the sun. when i kept my attention on that light, i felt it was attracting me. i move my attention back to my body and i stop ascending. because i looked at my body for some time, i forgot about the light above me. only when i looked around again i saw it. i was enjoying my life and i wanted to continue. apparently my body was still strong to sustain my life energy and i was sucked back and the feeling was like i went to sleep. i woke up a few days later from coma. 22 surgery to put me back, only one hand and one leg proper function. still in recovery, hope i will walk one day. but that death experience was mind blowing.
We only know what it's like to be ourselves but do you ever look at other people and wonder what it's like to be them or what being them is like for them?
Absolutely.
All the time
Ye
All of the time
I often wonder what rents space in the hearts and minds of others.
Dude the place is so quiet here, its like going to school early when nobody has arrived yet. It feels great! Especially when it's from my favourite youtube channel, keep it up guys!

Aside from mainstream music artists and EA developers, everyone has a soul.

Haha. Nice

Hate to be that guy but EA is a publisher. But you're right about them not having souls though.
There was a patient who passed while in the mri tube and since the patient signed a dnr the Dr's watched as parts of the brain that controls memories started to become active like the patient was looking back at their whole life.
Im a diabetic and about 2006 while travelling i got in a muddle,it was embarrassing but what i experienced was a game changer for me,I've no worries about jogging on,popping me clogs any more.
I experienced floating outside me body because of having a extremely low blood sugar, something i wouldn’t advise....but I've heard Indian shamans used to do the same by fasting and dance for up to 2 days while being or going into a sweat lodge witch increases your use blood sugar.
Anyway I had what I can only subscribe as a spiritual experience,it was amazing,i wanted to stay at the time .
A weight was lifted off me,i saw that everything was a cycle like the aboriginal dot circles,i understood everything,it was amazing if i had a choice at the time I would have stayed but i came back.
Maybe it was a body chemical reaction to what was happening but i don't think so,ive had drugs in my life as a young pup and this was something else 👍
Things is - all you see, feel, smell, hear - is basically "simuation" which your brain runs for you. Brain just updates that simulation from sensory inputs but what you "see" is mostly not direct stream from your eyes, but from vast majority model created by brain, which is just updated by "data" from optical nerve.. So.. all those out of body experiences may be jut that due to extreme conditions, brain just messes the model which is presented to you, and shows you your "me" is located at some different place than inside your head ..
I sold my soul to Keeps. Now my hair is thicker than molasses outside in January.
Selling your soul is a really bad idea
@@HiveMind30307 If it doesn't exist then selling your soul is a con-game.
@@Sharron-Idol If the soul does indeed not exist then selling would be a con game, but I'm pretty sure the soul does exist even if science says the chance is very low.
@@HiveMind30307 Why? Do you know something that I don't; or are you just a follower of myth and superstition because your parents taught you to believe in it or whatever?
@@Sharron-Idol Hmm, Do I seem like I know something?
I’ve always thought of the soul/consciousness/life force as almost the same thing. The life is all the same, just in different vessels. Our brains are just cool asf so we can explore things better.
Except consciousness is something created by our brains, primarily in the frontal cortex. Everything about us, our consciousness, thoughts, memories, personality, everything is done in our brains. And people with brain damage can have severe memory loss, massive personality change, and sometimes even a reduced sense of being conscious. There's no evidence of a soul.
@@Crashandburn999 yes there is no physical evidence of a soul, but how can you explain the hundreds of thousands of people who have had near death experiences and nearly all had the same or similar experiences. ask any of them they will believe you have a soul, And why would these people lie to you, what is there motivation for lying. Of course you could just call them crazy, but if they were truly crazy why would so many of them that have had the same experiences all give you remarkably similar accounts of these experiences or you could just say it’s just a chemical reaction in the brain that these people are experiencing but how can you explain that some of these people in near death experiences are in comas that show no brain activity going on yet once they awaken they can recall a profound out of body experience that is similar to the description of experiences that other people in similar situations have experienced.
@@Crashandburn999 No its not. Also damaged brain changing our personality isnt proof conciousness is the product of the brain either. A damaged car changes how the driver drives the car, doesnt mean the driver is the product of the car.
This is a serious issue you cannot dismiss called "the hard problem of conciousness"
@@Crashandburn999 what you observe in the brain is the soul interacting with biological organ, so you are observing the effect of the interaction, If the organ is damage the interaction will change.
@@Crashandburn999 I’ve always thought we live on the subconscious, the subconscious is the life we are hypnotized into or programmed into. Only our conscious can make the correct decisions, based on solely the information available at any given moment when introducing a scenario where our life maybe threatened.
So my daughter and I were eating breakfast and watching the video together and next thing you know the front door just opened by itself. Normally I'd be a little more startled but watching a video about souls well what do you expect. So I said to my daughter, "did you see the door open up by itself??"
She replied with, "it's probably a soul".
Couldn't help myself and said to her, "Yeah probably just some ar$e soul".
My 8 year old daughters response..." is that some kind of joke dad?"
😂😂
It's some kind of dad joke...
Life lesson: guys don't commit suicide, that shit kills you. 👌
When I was a little boy, I had a near death experience. It wasn't a hallucination. We definitely do have Souls.
I have had several NDEs of OTHER PPL dying. When my father died, at the exact same moment I dreamed of hm coming to me and telling me the spiritual world was real, and my parish priest when he was murdered came to me in a dream at the time he was being killed. As my brother died of a lung blockage thousands of miles away and over several nights, I was having a repeated dream I was turning blue and no one could help me survive.
I do not doubt that we have souls what so ever.
But if brain activity is found prior to our bodies acting, how does that disprove a soul? If our souls interface with our body exists within our brain, then it would make sense, no?
No one who has ever experienced brain death has come back to talk about it. Humans are so stupid. We make stuff up so we don’t crush our precious egos.
@@richardcheek2432lol you can’t have an NDE for another person.
@@JoeBuck-uc3bl You can have a shared NDE, dude, look it up.

as a pyschologist I would just like to say that absolutely none of our thoughts or feelings are explained by the brain - the brain may be involved, but then the radio is involved in listening to sounds of music or speech coming through it - but no one imagines that the radio 'produces' the music or speech because they know that it is broadcast from afar. Similar logic applies to the brain.
Interesting and refreshing to get a non-materialist take from a psychologist.
I agree completely; brain does not equal mind, nor do I think consciousness is an “epiphenomena” of matter, i.e., the brain. I don’t think we are meat machines in a random universe.
I suspect, whatever this reality might be, it is a subset of something much larger and way beyond our comprehension.
I remember psychology by the same arguments a cow is a table, it has a flat back and 4 legs if that is our ideal description for a table a cow and many other things also fulfils the basic requirements to be thus.
As a psychologist I would say that you probably skipped some classes. For sure you didn't do neuropsychology. And "logic" … oh my.
@@MrStrocube You "think". But the problem is that thinking, if it's not supported by at least basic knowledge about what you're thinking, just delivers nonsense. There are a lot of things beyond your comprehension that are not beyond others' comprehension. Don't you think you overevaluate your thinking? If not, give quantum physics a try and get your Nobel Prize.
The day that we begin to study non physical phenomena, science will make more progress in a decade than it has made in all the previous centuries of its existence - Nikola Tesla.
Hard to study non physical phenomena when their isn't any, unles you know some cooperative ghosts.
@@aleks-wy6uf I feel like I might need context for this tbh, but can you tell me what he means by “...that does not sway it in turn”? because that’s just a continuation off of “there’s no thing endowed with life -“
So he’s not saying “there’s nothing endowed with life.” if that’s what you’re thinking, he’s saying “there’s nothing endowed with life in all this world that does not sway it in turn”, just not sure what he means by “sway it in turn”
@@aleks-wy6uf Wrong. He is right about Tesla. Tesla was really interested in that beyond the physical world. He was confirmed a firm believer afterall (and we can safely say he was a Christian specifically. He has the values of an Orthodox, an the Orthodox Church even has icons of him). Tesla's works, from a physical and philosophical perspective go in line with this theology.
Furthermore, the quote you posted is about the cause and effect principle hinting at the mystery of creation, from a metaphysical perspective.
So yes, he really was not like you probably think he was.
@@aleks-wy6uf that’s interesting, thanks
@@aleks-wy6uf That comment shows not only your deep lack of understandanding about Tesla's work beyond a bunch of out of context quotes, but also about philosophy and Orthodox theology.
In his later years, his interest on that beyond the physical world only deepend, and his spiritual views started to be more polished. He rejected the modern idea about the Dualism - or dichotomy - of the human being regarding body and soul (the idea that both can be understood as separated phenomena, basically. An assumption that Thoughty is also guilty of) an idea that is no older than Descartes, and has only served to develop the new age culture, evolving in the false notion that somehow one can not study both the natural world and the metaphysical.
Tesla rejected all that, as he viewed that life and soul itself are one with the body, the non physical is there with the physical. There are no ghosts or spirits, or that isolated notion of the paranormal.
These beliefs go in line with Orthodox theology, in fact it is teached in the union of the body and soul, as they are both in one but not one. Interestingly, we know comprehend this in the natural world as well, thanks to quantum mechanics.
Tesla's views were not those of Freeman, we know that for a fact, as Tesla was a believer, and he was not only interested on the community aspect of a congregation but more so in what is happening at Mass. The fact that he was not a believer in the orthodox sense for an Orthodox does not mean he was not a believer.
If you like the character of Tesla for what he represents in the popular culture, so be it. But don't spread missinformation, works like his can not be isolated from his context.
When you understand you are not the body, thoughts, or person. It opens a reality that has always been, only you’ve been looking right over it (or should I say ‘through’ it) the entire time. What YOU are is deeper than just a conglomeration of thoughts and emotions. You are the one whom is ‘aware’ of these thoughts and emotions.

Perhaps the single most complex and dynamic subject you have ever covered. As humans we were surprised and confused by the "death" of a fellow member of our tribe way back in the 40000 plus BC time frame, although we of course did understand the death of game. We say plants and trees die or shrivel due to drought although we may not have understood the concept of proper nourishment at the time. When it came to Aunt Martha or little Freddie it was another matter as we actually engaged with them, yes even in grunts. When the other person died, we really did not know what to do to get them to respond to us as in the past. Of course, another problem was having a clear understanding of our own eventual mortality. Over time our unique ability to conceptualize tomorrow in addition to the reality of today, unlike all other animals, led us to try to explain the unexplainable: what happens to us when we die: thus, religion and philosophy/theology as tools upon which to construct the explanations.
We FEEL that something animates our activity (walk, talk, think, and so on) but other than blind faith we really don't have much to go on. Near death experiences are all well and good but a good examination by objective science tends to explain these by some physical activity within the brain and good old human imagination again.
It is reasonable to consider the existence of a Creator in view of the size of the universe and certain fundamentals of physics: we have no reason to think that matter can create itself. Who or what the Creator is or could be remains beyond human cognition at this time but that may be because we have not explored any capability we might have regarding extrasensory senses? We have a lot of apocryphal indications we might be able to communicate using some form of thought transference but no insight as to method, at this time. Elon Musk may resolve this issue sooner than we think.
But, if we do have a soul as we traditionally understand this, in other words, human individual consciousness that exists apart from human physical structure, then the next question is what happens to that soul when it departs from the body? The question begs: do all animate life, humans, frogs, trees, fish etc., have the same or even similar animating force or energy or presence or are there various levels of "soul" or force according to the level of sophistication or the entity? Do all of these collected entities pass into another dimension at the moment of physical death of the host? We just do not know. We can hope so, we can attempt to explain what seem to be logical possibilities but in the absence of demonstrated evidence we are left to our own imaginations, and our chosen expression of faith.
Sort of makes all religion-based war seem a bit stupid.
Stf
@@SqulliamIV I do not understand "Stf".
In my experience, the soul is "tethered" to the body, but not necessarily inside it. Astral projection is a repeatable experiment. Many can do it at will. Sadly, possibly because I'm autistic, I'm not one of those people; though I have had a few experiences at random that I can recall. It is said that it happens quite regularly for everyone. It's just that most people don't remember. Just like many don't remember their dreams.
Really enjoyed all of your videos! If you’ve ever watched someone pass away you will know that we all have souls. You can fill their presents (soul) leave
I always found ancient Greek philosophers teachings on the soul very interesting. The most common belief was that soul is something completely different from the body. Philosophers like Pythagoras and Empedocles were strong supporters of that notion and you can see it in ancient Greek belief system in general concerning things like the underworld.
The difference to the more modern approach to the soul being that they didn't acknowledge any connection of the soul to human behavioural patterns . Soul to them was not something that defined a human therefore they didn't attribute any human characteristics to it. They even made connections regarding the soul to animals and plants.
Aristotle on the other hand was many centuries ahead of his time in his beliefs about the soul. He recognised that a soul is the combination of all bodily functions that essentially make it alive.

I've always thought of the brain as an antenna and our bodies are just our avatars. Just how you're not going to find Arianna Grande inside your radio or The Walking Dead Cast inside your TV, because they are streamed there with waves and certain parts of the equipment react to them. Just like how certain parts of your brain light up from brain waves. That's always been crazy to me that I can't find anyone else who actually tried to study it in that way
If the 21.3 grams is accurate it could easily be explained away as the exhaled “last breath” reserves of air in your lungs since they’ll flatten and never refill. Your normal breathing almost never dips you to 0% lung capacity, even when you direly need to breathe (held breath too long, etc) there’s usually a reserve 1-2%. If that is a certain fractional PSI and air pressure is normal couldn’t that be 21.3 grams? The ‘safety air cushion reserve’ I’ll call it
love all the content thoughty!! keep up the great work as always!
This was lovely to watch. Lovely to learn.

You're so good at advertising sponsors that I already ordered the product before I even realized you weren't talking about souls anymore
Each person’s unique combination of experiences, memories, thoughts and the make up of their body creates something special whatever anyone wants to call it.🤔
Her name was Jennifer. So you’re saying she put like a dent in my soul? Should I be angry? Or just pop out the dent?
I have to agree Rich Arthur. Weighty matters that cannot be weighed, indeed.
That's your save file
I call it Self. But then again I'm a simple person.
A strong hint here is that brain trauma can completely change one's personality. I see no reason to think this is anything but the brain.
I always wondered about the conscious aka gut feel we have. Where does that come from and why is it right most of the time.
Very intriguing indeed.
The Gift of Fear goes into it nicely. For the neurotypical, your unconscious mind will pick up on details around you or patterns in the everyday that can give you a picture of what feels right or wrong before you realize it consciously.
Someone says they were just swimming but their hair is not wet? You get a gut feeling that you shouldnt trust that person.
There are 100 million neurons in the human gut. It's literally a 2nd more primitive brain.
@Muhammad Daanish Shaikh Allah is but another name for God.
@Muhammad Daanish Shaikh It's a shame that Allah and the other gods only warn some people with a gut feeling, and let the rest that don't have one possibly be maimed or killed.
It's far more likely that people subconsciously pick up on red flags, and some heed the warnings, whilst others succumb to social pressure (e.g.: "don't worry, it'll be fine") and ignore their gut feeling that something is wrong.
Unfortunately, sometimes ignoring a gut feeling is at their peril, and heeding a gut feeling ends up with nothing out of the ordinary happening (often because one's awareness of a human/animal danger can cause the aggressor to choose a different target).
Search the word subconscious
The body is mortal but the spirit is eternal
Good information
Been watching you for years man love what you do 👍
I LOVE IT when you do this kind of content Thoughty keep up the good work.
I read about the experiment years ago in a book. Thanks for making a video about it. 👍
Reminds me of an interview I saw with a Japanese WW2 veteran, he was talking about a death march he was on when they were in retreat and carrying wounded comrades on his back. He said they could always tell when they had died because they suddenly got heavier.
That's probably just them supporting themselves less because they can't when they aren't alive. For example, picking up a kid that's asleep will feel heavier than picking up a kid that's awake. I guess that's why they call it "dead weight" , lol.
@@RealShaggy Might be that or physiological tricks, just be thankful if you don't have to verify that with similar experiences.

I find it hard to believe that not a single person has made the connection that consciousness *is* the soul.

Your consciousness is not a physical thing. The exact combination of octillions of atoms of different elements put together in a specific way to create your body is what makes you conscious and alive.
@@game_ender4317 neither is soul 😭😭
@@bavm1885bavm believing in god is all in the brain and your soul is separate from your body so it believing in god has nothing to do with having a soul
@@game_ender4317 That's like saying _"your body is not a physical thing, The exact combination of octillions of atoms of different elements put together in a specific way to create your body is what makes yor body."_
I don't know if the soul does exist or not and look, I know what you wanted to say, but that way it's nonsence. It's like saying "your house is not a house, it is a combination of bricks and concrete"... That's going nowhere.
Thoughty2 is one of my fav youtubers hope no conspiracies or scandals come to my ear of him. Keep up the great work man ill keep the haters at bay
Haha!! Straight up, when explaining the soul to someone who has never heard of it, it’s a ginger scratching his head.
Off to a great start, Thoughty.
Belief system: You believe or you don’t. Just be sure you can live with the choice after the journey. I am going to believe in an Excellent Afterlife. Complete with a Dragon best friend that looks like a cat that loves to discuss literature! We are totally having tea and cookies the minute I show up.
That sounds lovely. But all the same, I hope you two don’t meet for a long time.
I don't believe in an afterlife but if I did this would be it.
@Angie G I like the way you think!
Yes !
In the end it doesn't matter what we believe in because we can't escape reality.

I can tell you the soul is real and it awesome that you brought in consciousness! Most of us live off perspective. I have a damn good friend and to make it shorter he's sane and needs for nothing. He has just found consciousness at 38. Knowing that you are a being in a vessel. Scared the shit out of him as it did me when I was young.
I knew for sure at age 7 when I fell out of a tree and briefly died. I was not scared one little bit.
I watch these while getting ready for bedtime. Awesome channel. My brain made some connection between baldness and the topic of souls and I can’t undo it 😅.

Thank you very much for nailing our remaining lack of understanding so exactly. I would go so far to say it's not just the biggest remaining failure to understand in neuroscience - I regard it as the biggest in *all* of science. And it really is too big a question to simply ignore.
I really want this to all be real, but I just haven't really seen anything to make me believe in it.
There are no super convincing arguments because it is so hard to prove something metaphysical in a physical world. But the idea that there is more to life is just so attractive.
i think what got me going on the metaphysical would be self combustion. theory is its caused by an invisible energy that comes in contact with a person, causes them to self combust.. convinces you theres more to the world.
I'm not sure this proves a soul, but think of it like this, if you were able to download your entire brain into a computer, would that be you, or would it just be a simulation of you, I belive that even if you could download the entire contents of your brain to a computer the part that makes you, you, is lost in the jump

I've been blind in my left eye as long as I can remember. Every once in a while, no matter what I was doing, I'd get the very odd sensation that I was sitting at the controls of "Me" in my right eye. Like i only existed in my right eye, overwhelmed by all the mechanisms taking place in every system that made me....well me. I'd sit immediately. Regain my focus, and stand up and continue what I was doing very thoughtfully and carefully, focusing on moving one leg then another and then a deep breath...blink...swallow...ect. The feeling would vanish at some point, and I couldn't tell you when, or if I just had an anurism and day dreamt it. It was and is real. I was able to experience it on command on mushrooms. Don't do em bla bla. Best decision I've ever made was to eat them though. For me, and for those around me that now benefit from the change it made in me. Some say the "soul" is an emergent property of such a complex system such as the human brain. They can say whatever they'd like. And prove it to themselves beyond a doubt. But I don't listen, I feel. Not just sensations, but emotions. I don't understand why evolution would cause nature to give me that trait. Some of the worst mistakes in my life and history in general were made because of emotion. So not a favorable trait. I'm here, at this moment, leaving this comment. What I believe is probably stupid to most everyone. I feel that I chose to be this person. For one reason or another. I've had a rough life. But as of lately, it's been better and better. And when my experience is over with this "user", it will seem as no time has passed when I snap out of this 3 dimensional human experiment. Next I think I'll try out existing as a 12 dimensional string that helps create gravity in the 6th dimension in order for it to "leak" just enough into my current users dimension to be a stable "universe".
I found this very interesting would you like to chat more about it? I have had a similar feeling regarding why some children are born into suffering, that our soul chooses a purpose for our lives much larger than we can comprehend while in our human bodies
I appreciate your views
I appreciate you guys taking the time to read it all. Thank you.
At 9:57 to 9:59 "Life, the universe and everything"... LOVE the nod to Douglas Adams, there!
I thought this video's notification was a text from someone asking me if I have a soul directly. Cue existential panic
To get a text like that out of nowhere really would be shocking.

The moment some scientist discovers how mind works his mind will blow and we have to start from scratch...
I like your videos.
I am a philosopher among other things. The soul has come into my thoughts many times. To define something that we have no way of defining is difficult.
I do believe that more study should go into it. There are other numerous examples out there. Even MacDougall's experiment hasn't been fully tested. Yes there are morals and such out there, but I'm certain a large number of people wouldn't mind these days.
My definition of the soul comes from only what I've learned & understood during my time here. To me it fits with everything, just like the purpose & meaning of life.
Its really great how you can take relatively controversial topic and present it in the very neutral way which can't offend anybody.. Just nice sumarized all parts of discussion, all points of view we know to the data.. Respect ! Great video ..
The best ever RUclips program, I learned a lot from your videos, seen I come across you on RUclips, I stopped watching other programs.
This topic fascinates me. I'm currently working on a novel about souls & reincarnation & what would happen if science could prove reincarnation to be real. How would such a discovery change future society if it were taken out of the religious world & brought into the scientific.
Unfortunately 2 ends of a spectrum never come together science will always be science and faith will always be faith... Science will never truly be able to say the is no God,, or any of the of the gods people worship.
If reincarnation is proven they would put Russian Roulette in casinos
@Muhammad Daanish Shaikh I don't think you understand what fiction is.
@Muhammad Daanish Shaikh he who I judge I cannot love. For love is the sight of unity, oneness. Seeing self in other self. He who I judge I see as other. God loves all unconditionally. He has never judged you and “judgement day” will be more of a graduation to another plane if anything.after this short blip of an experience ends your story will not come up so short.
Reincarnation is scientifically feasible considering the universe has already demonstrated that it has the ability to create your consciousness. If the universe has created your consciousness once then it may have the potential to do it again. Just depends on underlying mechanics of consciousness, particularly personal consciousness. If science can pinpoint reasons why you are conscious in the body you are currently living in rather than someone else then they may even be able to reincarnate you themselves by triggering your consciousness in a new body. Gods and souls not even necessary.

Blessings to to ma’m Sorry for your loss
It's interesting reading about people's near death experiences, from Plato's Er on up to modern times. The similarities described in many accounts make me appreciate the brain for what it very well may be, a reducing valve that prevents us from experiencing all of reality at once. Describing our brain as the soul seems like describing water as "that brass fitting that attaches to the garden hose."
I’d rather put it that when dying most brains react with the same set of chemicals giving us the same set of experiences
@Muhammad Daanish Shaikh nah, I asked mine and she told me that she pretended to be allah to Mohamed cause she got bored. Not enough action you know?
But she told me aswell that she didn’t expect for it to stick around for that long! So good on you!
I suspect theres a massive difference between nearly dying and dying and also such a brain deprived of oxygen cant be relied upon to later remember what it was experiencing at a later time when it has recovered.
@@fusel5883 Except not all people react the same to similar chemicals
@@SeanWinters I am no brain expert but I’d assume that most of us react at least similar to chemicals being released in the brain.
Thoughty2: "Do you have a soul?"
Me: Interesting
Good Episode.
You have a beautiful soul gimm ..
The existance of the soul Can be logicly proven. Every part of your body has changed many Times throughout your life, yet you have a continuous consciousness since your first memories, that implies that it is an entity that exists without any link to a material support, a soul in other words. More than that, if your soul has been known to exist independantly of any material support, there is no reason to think it will cease to exist when your body decays, as near death experiences seem to strongly suggest. You could Ask "how Can we even prove we have a consciousness" but it is a useless question as this consciousness is the very thing you observe the material world with, you thus need no material proof for its existance (nor Can you find any material proof for it)
Wow this is interesting! It’s true all our cells change but we retain self and memories!
I had to be zapped with a defibrillator back in 2014. I guess I died. I don't remember a thing. I really hope the energy that lives in our bodies goes somewhere that is better than this miserable mud ball called earth. I hope we don't come back as a tick or flea.
facts
I like to give people a thought experiment to get them to consider the question.
Imagine I ask you to raise your arm clench your fist and put your arm back down, or to stand on one leg and then the other. Really, I'm asking you to imagine I asked you to do anything that involves articulating any limb in any way.
Now I ask you, how did you do that? You will respond with sometime like "my muscle fibers were caused to contract or to relax depending on the electrical signal sent through my nerves by my brain." But if I keep asking you "what told that part of your brain to do that? And what part of your brain told that part of your brain to do that?" Now imagine that I ask you that question a few more times. Eventually, you will run out of parts of the brain. Eventually we would be left staring at the reality that because the brain is a cause and effect machine, it cannot cause itself to initiate any such sequence.
If we assert otherwise, we have to conclude that everything about us is just the random purposeless and meaningless firing of neurons, which sequence of events was set into motion countless eons ago and nothing has meant anything since the dawn of time. On that model, we have no agency, for we are just the result of chemical and electrical reactions. But that is not consistent with the fact that we do have agency. We do have a will that is in control, not merely of our body, but of our brain. I believe you, the real you, are a spirit in command of a body through a brain, and are not merely a brain in a meat suit.
Combine this with a prayerful reading of Ecclesiastes, which argues that if "life under the sun" is all there is, then all is utterly pointless. Considering this deeply will lead you have an existential crisis on one hand, but the beckoning of God on the other. I would urge you to prayerfully consider this, for I truly believe that we all do know on some level of our being that this life is not all there is and that we are morally accountable for how we've spent it. I would urge you to seek Christ in prayer, for none of us has perfectly kept even the dictates of our own consciences, let alone all that we are morally obliged to keep, and I would inform you that God is wholly and completely committed to giving every deed its just recompense. Therefore, we need the mercy and grace of God through Christ. He kept the law that we broke, and He willingly accepted the penalty for His people's transgressions.
If you have any questions about this, I would be more than happy to answer them. God bless.
@@rowanmurphy5239 I can't do that. My legs have no power
Oh dear. The belief that the one and only existence is shit and the hope for a better imaginary existence is why religion is a cancer.
No need to do anything to make the world a better place - just wait to die and go to heaven.
I'm sorry your lot in life isn't pleasant, but there is no second chance. Make the most of it while you can.
@@aly-eb5vh I hope it's facts. I hope we're not like a flame that burns out in the wind
Love the Douglass Adams reference.
Great videos looking for you on Rumble. :)
All depends on how one defines the word 'soul' (same with 'spirit'). In my personal view, I think of, say, soul music - it's a deep feeling. Deep feelings is how I personally define 'soul'. Spirit - think of the old language. Examples "he's got a mischievous spirit upon him" or "he's in high spirits tonight". I think spirits are moods. In short, souls (feelings) and spirits (moods) do exist but they are not something that lives on after we die - just my beliefs.
Well then you’re not even actually talking about a soul in the sense that the rest of us here are talking about a soul and therefore this is kind of irrelevant... you’re just talking about “feelings” and “moods” which obviously people have feelings and moods, those things we know are caused by chemical reactions in the brain and whatnot, that’s not what this video is about though
I like this idea but it is a different context.
I also feel like that. spirit resides inside our heart where emotions emerge from and soul resides inside our brain giving us a personality which directs and utilises the mind to do the specific tasks. Our emotions(pure energy) fuels our desires and willpower to do something and our soul with brain power negotiates with the outer world. Both needed to be in sync with each other or else mind becomes unstable giving rise to multiple personality disorders like i am facing. The heart and crown chakra are the most highest important chakras to be protected and taken care of. It recharges during sleep while connecting to spiritual realm. Now if any of those chakras weakens it creates a loophole for other negative entities to enter through it and getting total control over mind leading to dangerous personalities being created.
@@barood2341 very interesting 🤔
Title: Do You Have a Soul?
No, I don't have one of those.
Only just seen this video and it is utterly brilliant!!! Although I am sceptical of life after death, Air Force pilots can experience "Near Death Experiences" when experiencing extreme G forces, ie when the brain is starved of oxygen as per death, but then again you hit the nail on the head with consciousness itself, if we can't explain what constitutes consciousness how can we possible explain what happens when it "ends"?
You sir look fresh. Good video. I can't wait for you to dive deeper in to the metaphysical supernatural cases. God speed
I'm not religious in any way, shape, or form but I do know one thing first hand we have a spirit. That has been proven whether people believe it or not. I was a HUGE skeptic myself didn't believe it on TV what so ever till I went myself.
If it's been proven people would believe it. It's not proven.
show me this proof of yours?
I have souls on the bottom of my feet! As for any other kid, don't rightly know but I tend to think that it's all a great deal of hoping that there is something for us after we do die, and not that it's just like a switch being flicked
off.
You want to know what death us like. Think back to the billions of years before you were born. That is death
Proving the existence of the soul is a self-evident process. One can prove it's existence to themselves through practices and experiences, but they can't prove it to others. In fact, if someone is convinced it doesn't exist, nothing a person says will change their mind. Not until they have the telling experiences themselves, and even then they still might doubt.
False dilemmas and logical fallacies are literally everywhere. The smartest people make them just like we all do all the time. It's so funny and humbling. I love life.
New to the channel. Gotta say, love the look. And the content, of course.
I'm of the opinion that computers would have no need for consciousness. Humans are only "conscious" because the interweaving of thoughts, feelings, and intellect is (or rather, was) essential for survival. A computer can remember everything, can respond to stimuli at a billion times our rate, has no need for forming bonds with others.
We need to have concept of "me" to better preserve ourselves and to empathise and communicate effectively with other pack members. There's actually a much more fleshed out and complex argument to be made for consciousness being essentially an illusion, but it isn't coming to me and I'd feel silly trying to lay it out anyway given how uneducated I am.
At the End of every Video you're saying thank you for watching to us. But this time we'll all be thanking you for letting us know more Wisdom about our Universe
You should follow this up with a video on biocentrism. The effect of consciousness on formerly infallible physical theories is pretty insane.
🤔
The voices in my head say they have my soul.
Human lungs contain an average maximum of 6 liters. And since 1 cubic foot of air is the equivalent of just over 28 liters, human lungs contain an average maximum of 0.21 cubic feet of air. Since 1 cubic foot of air weighs nearly 37 grams, the average maximum amount of air the human lungs can contain is therefore around 7.6 grams. Of course, no, a person doesn't normally fill the lungs to capacity with each breath, but probably more like just over half capacity, and thus around 4 grams of air.
When a person dies, this necessarily entails not only the loss of air in the lungs themselves but, as obviously, a rapid depletion of whatever gases remain in the bloodstream. So the question is, on average how many "lungs' worth" of air does the human bloodstream contain? Seems it would have to be significantly more than just one lungs' worth.
Since 4 grams of air on average are lost just in evacuating the lungs, and since death is thought to result in the loss of 21 grams, if the bloodstream does in fact contain roughly 4 lung's worth of air, this would explain that weight loss without having to imagine the attribution of physical mass to a soul.
This is actually a really smart proposal, i never would've thought of this, nicely done!
Love it when people use rational argument in discussions 👍
You are the soul. And your soul has a body.
The soul is the essence of who we are which is timeless, spaceless, immaterial, non physical, unchanging, unmoving, and perfect.
Every living creature (humans, pants, animals, trees, etc) all has souls and we must protect the souls of ourselves and others. ❤
