Where Is My Mind?

Love how questions of consciousness are framed using water metaphors. Thanks for illustrating how ‘higher education’ can lead to a closed mind, which is opposite of what we think education is designed to do. Brilliant way to ask questions that dissects a millennium of possible myths. Ending the series was beautiful, thank you. It reminded me of the prayer of St Francis. Please keep this going.

I’m really impressed with this podcast. I’m not generally a listener to podcasts, but I binged the whole series in one day. I have so many unanswerable questions, but my brain feels stimulated.

Finally. It is difficult when you have dead loved ones to be atheistic. To be kind to myself, I allowed “well, maybe. Go ahead and see what you find.” I found this podcast. It cracked open a door for me and I’m quite sure what it opens to is a lot more questions. But also, a slight relief from my nihilistic dread.

From a neurological science perspective this path to overcome disbelief in “brain/biological” consciousness control makes sense, but I found this data to fit my Christian worldview quite closely. Most of these things make sense with a single God, a network of strongly interconnected spirits, and even the life assessment—and the literal commandment to “love thy neighbor as thyself”. Most of us already believe in a spiritual life experienced on Earth. I like the idea of learning to better utilize the spirit to work through the blindfold of the mind—and in the end of this series, that is what I heard. Well researched and cleverly presented. Last, from a thermodynamic law perspective, evolution isn’t a possible theory unless something is adding energy to this universe. The idea of God and spiritual energy also fills this gap. Walking away, there is a lot more to consider here.

Love the topics discussed in this podcast. Would like to see more time spent on citing and evaluating the evidence instead of evangelizing Gober’s perspective and haranguing dissenters as close minded
