Is Telepathy real?

Also, now they are bringing quantum spookiness into it, and so it continues and evolves.

"spooky action at a distance". 

Apparently, that's all about perspective also, and collapsing wave functions. 

Enjoyed the conversation.

But i need to go take these dogs long walk.

My Saluki needs a good run.

The eeg part got me back to thinking about the similarities between computer hardware and the brain. From a certain perspective, computers are oversimplified neural networks.

How 'virtual' functions exhibit the same translation method as 'conscious' functions is fascinating in my opinion. They both use electrical pulses to make binary sequences and have components with a built-in 'table' to map specific sequences with 'actions to be performed' or not.

At the end of the day, wouldn't a 'feeling' be a more complex 'virutal' interface/function of iinteractions between matter (a 'body' and an 'environment' for example)?

It is a chemical reaction or release from the endocrine system part of the brain because that heavily regulates emotion but we are talking about conscious thought and that is not a part of the endocrine system.

Seems like I've confused neural network signals with other chemical functions, thanks for the clarification. I'll need to read a bit more on this if I'm to expand further thoughts on those subjects.

I've gone down many rabbit holes trying to get a handle on understanding what consciousness may be, and neural network signals, chemical functions (feelings), cell memory, eeg studies, alpha/theta waves' studies leads me to think that perhaps the bodily functions mentioned above may all work together to manifest whatever consciousness looks like to each of us. I am also sure we have only skimmed the surface of finding the truth of consciousness/reality.

---------------------

"The researchers found that, much like brain cells, these other types of cells responded to the chemical signals by switching on a gene associated with memory storage."

Does the memory of body cells influence health and weight loss?

---------------------

"Researchers at the University of Freiburg in Germany used EEG to study the brain of a former Buddhist monk who described this as a “clear, aware openness.”
 They found that content-free awareness was associated with a sharp fall in alpha waves and an increase in theta waves."

you are possessed by a demon, I have known it for a while. we can exorcise it together. list your vices and the first song that pops into your head for the color green, post the youtube video here. we will find the demon together and exorcise it

I have no jealousy, pride or fear. I reject most of the woo because it is nonsense and gullible people want more. If telepathy and stuff like remote viewing are real then I say great, have at it. I am pleased for you. I can't think of a single 'paranormal' ability I'd want. I do like the mystery of things like consciousness though, and the strange things that seem to defy rational explanation. I see most of it as subjective and think people would be better off working on themselves.

Bear in mind I love the 'mysteries'. I write little rhymes about witches, ghosts and occult stuff. I am an old Jungian really. I suppose if there was an 'ability' I would like to have it would be to write poetry that is wise, quirky and entertaining.

As Dr. Carl Jung wrote, “It is important to have a secret, a premonition of things unknown. It fills life with something impersonal, a numinosum. A man who has never experienced that has missed something important.”

The problem being reincarnation is self-defeating by it's very nature.

Because it risks making this life less meaningful.

If people believe they'll have endless chances, they tend to avoid responsibility and growth.

It can also lead to victim-blaming.

Suffering framed as punishment for past-life actions you don’t even remember doesn't make any sense.

It undermines self-worth and fosters guilt without resolution.

 It does not matter if you like Reincarnation or not, the fact that people get reborn with memories of a past life are just a fact of life. It might be nothing to do with Karma. Karma makes good sense because if you try to avoid shit you get a chance of a more harmonious existence, looking for trouble brings trouble.
