I read that but you didn't read one of my previous post in which i said that what the brain can do is limited while what the consciousness can do is unlimited.
A small cut usually heal by itself.
A bigger cut may require stitches.
And a huge cut may lead to the grave so from this any person with a little bit of brain can easy understand the brain and body limitations but of course this doesn't apply to you.

Quote:All you have to do in order to see whether this physical-mental dimension bring or not peace of mind is whether it give a sense of total satisfaction or not.
Quote:Irrelevant. Subjective experience is evidence of nothing you are claiming. Lots of things can give a "sense of total satisfaction." Or "peace of mind." This tells us nothing about the mind-body-consciousness question. All it tells us is that certain chemicals in the brain produce euphoric states.
Wrong again Davka.
There are a lot of things that can give satisfaction or your so called total satisfaction but as usual you haven't got the full picture.
I have been talking about PERMANENT satisfaction not casual or temporary satisfaction which can not be achieved by artificial means and which only last a certain time with side effect by the way.
There is also a more natural natural way to achieve some sort of satisfaction.
Some people seem satisfied but again their degree of satisfaction is limited to what their brain can deliver which can not be compared with what the consciousness can.
Time and time again you guys forget to understand that the brain like every physical-mental thing in this universe is bound by limitations.

If you go back many month ago when we were talking about this subject i already explained why.
The people who participate in these festivals are normal people who during the year most of them eat meat and don't really do any meditation.
They follow Hinduism which involve a bit of chanting mantras and some prayers.
Once a year they want to prove themselves that God is with them so what they do?
3 weeks before the festival they only eat vegetarian food in order to clean up their body-mind from impurities and at the same time they chant mantras in the temples and sex is also off during that time in order to focus on the divinity within.
When the time come their mind is therefore under control and their consciousness take over but here we got to understand that not everybody reach an high stage of consciousness so in some of them the mind still has some influence over them and that is why some of them feel a bit of pain and some scars are still visible while other feel no pain and no scars are visible so again you show that you haven't got the full picture of what really happen.
a) You have no way of knowing any of this. It's just a bunch of made-up garbage.
b) It's all just a smokescreen for the fact that, once again, you have no evidence to show for your claims.
c) The evidence which we do have is contrary to your claim.
Your "explanation" is worthless.
Actually i have been there and see that with my very eyes but again since when physical science can understand what is not physical!
