Fairly certain that this has been mentioned before, but a fertilized egg is not conscious or non conscious -and yet- at some point along the way it becomes so, it has "mind". I neither expect to find "mind" in a fertilized egg, nor am I surprised to find that later, that fertilized egg being human, that the human has "mind". I take it you would be, if you believed that this sort of thing occurred?
Quote:consciousness to consciousness, consciousness to nonconscious makes sense. nonconscious to consciousness is nonsense. about time you gave the 'mind' it's due. after all, it's order of magnitude capabilities over matter is infinity.Infinity eh, lemme see that math...lol. In any case, I think that "mind" -whatever that is- is amazing....but I don't really see why you would call something that demonstrably happens "nonsense"? Particularly given the posting history in this thread and the level of credulity that some of the shit that's been covered requires from a proponent. That, but not this?
