How can you survive an MRI?
Why would you assume that would even happen anyway?
Because magnetic fields affect electron spin. If Orch-OR was correct then an MRI should kill you.

Because we are here to experience this life's challenges with no memory of life before this.
That has no explanatory power. It just states what I said above. Why does consciousness behave that way?

Because we are human beings, conscious intelligent life, not computers.
Then why do both the brain and DNA look like intricate information storage and processing arrays? Sorry, but you really are a computer, just a messy, organic, biological one.
Quote:(November 24, 2018 at 3:30 pm)Paleophyte Wrote: Deepak Chopra hasn't studied consciousness from any perspective. He's a woomeister peddling deepities to suckers.
Deepak Chopra is a doctor and was the Chief of Staff at New England Memorial Hospital. He gave up his very successful career to study and teach eastern philosophies and he has spent years researching and studying consciousness, long before science even became interested.
Chopra is a faith healer and a quack who is not doing anything good for your credibility.
