Maybe we can go one step further and explore the possibility that not only the material world is a projection from the physical brain, but this brain is also a projection from a non-material mind.
_The Mind is the Spirit or Soul_ _The brain is an organ, the interface with the outside, and a storage system. It’s impossible to find the truth in the interface. Even less dismantling the interface into subatomic molecules. The Truth is installed in the _*_Heart_*_ of each one of us._
*_”Best Definitions”_*_ are most frequently based on the following:_ _To be credible and effective a deception should accord as far as possible with the hopes and expectations of those it is intended to deceive"_
Your brain is your mind materialized, and one of the functions of your mind is, the file cabinet of your past and present thoughts throughout your whole body and soul. The brain is also the transformer of your soul's consciousness. In other words, the brain is in charge to translate the information coming from your soul's consciousness.
Your soul is all your emotions put together. It's what does the feeling. It can be found the same way emotions are found. By insight and introspection, which both are rational processes by the way.
A mind needs two things - input and an input reader. The reader part is where the action is. It is both a detector and a categorizer. Your "self" is basically a category soup. In order to categorize, you need memory if you don't want to become some other entity's dinner. You need to know what to avoid. And if it is time for your dinner, you need to know what to approach. It's that simple.
Ok, so one slight question I have about this is this: if the mind is a collection of flowing images, what about those who literally cannot see images? Wouldn't this discount, or disprove this definition?
one of the questions I've been thinking about for years is from what point in evolution on consciousness started to exist in animals. hope to find an answer in your book. (it's already out here in Holland)
He says the mind is a flow of images, but these images arise in the mind. He is saying what happens in the mind, but not what the mind is. The space in which these images arise, what is that space? The space of consciousness? In which case, there would not really be such a thing as called mind. Just what arises within the field of consciousness. Thoughts?
There must be a self, maybe a part of the mid that is able to experience those internal images. But maybe, the self is the processor of thoughts, but both are components of the overall mind, which is in itself a metaphysical manifestation of neurological processes
@@calundoconteal6851 @Calundo Conteal to clarify, when you refer to a 'part' of the mind, that can experience the internal imagery, do you mean to say that that 'part' that is in you, that 'self', is different than the part in me, that experiences the images in my mind? Or are you of the notion that, that which experiences these mental images, is the ocean of consciousness? In your second paragraph, when you suggest that the self is a processor of thoughts, to me that suggests something akin to soul, something which 'processes' thoughts & events differently based on a wide variety of factors. It is difficult to get much of any dialogue in these comment sections for many reasons, but mainly because I think so many of us have different meanings for different words, especially the notion of 'self'!

Damasio uses this example also in one of his books. He’s not talking about evolution but the immediate reaction and behavior of a single amoeba in a certain situation. It’s not about how evolution came up with the mechanisms but about the intimate connection between consciousness/emotion and the body of an organism, the development of an internal map of the body etc. That might not be so obvious in this video but it’s clear if you read the appropriate section in the book.
"The mind has 'Neural Maps'...called 'Memory', and which does not address what is 'Mind'. 'Mind' is a concept without physical reality, although some are 'sharp' and some are' dull'...still evolving in that process..:)
_Bacteria, Amebae, and other microorganisms can survive in any environment even better than complex organisms on the planet, can they not Dr.?_ _Why the heck are you stating the contrary, beginning at __1:30__ of your speech?_
I don't like the way he frames the reason single-celled organizms are "successful". It isn't that they live in a "relatively simple environment" but rather the fact that they are able to rapidly evolve by simply having short cycles of reproduction and vast numbers. For simple organisms, they "learn" through the brute-force trial and error of evolution by natural selection on a massive scale. Conversely, multi-cellular organisms require brains because it takes a long time to make one.
_Unicellular beings live in the very same environment all living beings live. That’s unquestionable._ _So, I don’t see why the “doctor” is teaching, or trying to convince his audience of something else._
What I know so far about the mind is this. It is the place where we: 1. Have thoughts and ideas 2. Memories 3. Dreams 4. Self awareness Outside of that I don't know: 1. Where it is located 2. How big it is 3. Whether or not it is eternal 4. Where it came from or where it goes I do know the mind can be: 1. Damaged 2. Influenced by others 3. Etc. This frontier is very exciting. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg in our understanding of it. Neuroscience is an amazing and exciting discipline. What lays ahead? Who knows. But I will say this. It is a bad idea to integrate it with a computer like Elon Musk wants to do. I know his motive is good because he is scared of AI. But the thing he is proposing sounds terribly close to the Matrix where we become slaves. Not good.

Best definition of "mind" that I've encountered.

Mind is a mental thing that is just a intention and things associated with brain but not the brain
Ok, so one slight question I have about this is this: if the mind is a collection of flowing images, what about those who literally cannot see images? Wouldn't this discount, or disprove this definition?
I think it applies to them becouse they still have some sort of images, memory, that they construct on their on bases and still floats on their net.
one of the questions I've been thinking about for years is from what point in evolution on consciousness started to exist in animals. hope to find an answer in your book. (it's already out here in Holland)
There is no consciousness in Animals
He says the mind is a flow of images, but these images arise in the mind. He is saying what happens in the mind, but not what the mind is.
The space in which these images arise, what is that space? The space of consciousness? In which case, there would not really be such a thing as called mind. Just what arises within the field of consciousness.
Thoughts?
There must be a self, maybe a part of the mid that is able to experience those internal images.
But maybe, the self is the processor of thoughts, but both are components of the overall mind, which is in itself a metaphysical manifestation of neurological processes

Nice analogy
The mind is a series of images?
Perfect. Succinct and logical.
so simple and so hard to explain, comon guis you have foe more

What is mind , not give propper answer
"The mind has 'Neural Maps'...called 'Memory', and which does not address what is 'Mind'.
'Mind' is a concept without physical reality, although some are 'sharp' and some are' dull'...still evolving in that process..:)
*Mind* is the *Image* that we were created as being(s)...
Obviously no reference to the observations of Penrose and Hemeroff

Beautiful
_Elon Musk _*_says_*_ he is scared of AI, that definitely doesn’t mean that he’s expressing the _*_TRUTH_* .
