There is no part of the brain that can be stimulated to evoke a mind. Thus, where comes the mind? Is it spirit? Is it soul?
Matter does not possess the property of consciousness, for if it did, we would have no free will. We would be deterministisic, in a materialistic universe.
Just a thought.

wow nice question
i personally believe that our energy around us ( aura if you wish ) is our all .. our being
within that is our memory , our past present and future ( to an extent ) our goals and aspirations
i know most people think the aura is a lot of nonsense ... but we do have an energy field , that much is known
and if our physical body dies , our brain .. then what is it that goes on after our death and remains consious ..
i think it is our aura

The mind is the emergent property of the neural network of the brain. And we are deterministic and materialistic. The computation may not be FEASIBLE, but it is computable.
Yes, this lacks in the ability to describe the exact principles involved in this emergent property. Sadly, emergent behaviors are based on simple rules but the behavior of those rules can be mind-numbingly complex -- for example, take a look at the mandelbrot set. The mandelbrot set boils down to two simple functions, a complex addition and a complex squaring. (a+bi) + (c+di), and (a+bi) ^ 2, where c+di is some given constant and a+bi is where the current state is in. These two simple rules create the only known set that are fractal dimension 2, the largest fractal dimension a flat set can have.

Inorder to understand this requires a limited understanding of Quantum and String Theory Physics. Science and Spirituality are coming together. I am going to take the premise that we are Spiritual Beings having an Earthly Experience. At the beginning of the Adamic Race our DNA was changed and blended with another source of DNA. One of the recent discoveries by Science is that the DNA produces Photons and this affects the cells of the Human body, Science now believes this what creates a Worm Hole effect around the Human Body that allows us to penetrate other dimensions in Alpha State of Being. The original teaching that was brought to Earth stated that there is a Creator who acts through Law to bring Creation into Being. This Law in Humans or other thinking beings in the Universe utilize this law continuously.It is activated by thought. Whereever thought goes energy follows and Energy is thought. The quality of our thoughts is called Consciousness-Lower or Higher. Matter is a type of vibration of light. We have Dark matter uncreated and White Light Matter created. Scientist are leaning towards the idea that the Dark matter in the Universe is what the Ancients referred to as Aethers! At its most basic form, a human is dense material. Yet with Kirellian photography we can see the less dense body of the aura or Etheric body. The human is made up of more than one body, each less dense than the physical body. Most of the Teaching that came into Greece was brought there by Thales who brought it over from Egypt. Egypt it received it from Sumeria and the Annunaki, those from Heaven come to Earth. All physical manifestation is the result of visulaization or thought within the Human Mind !

Mind forms matter; everything physical is basically concentrated thought; spirit is Cause, with mind being its activating agent. Every physical thing "contains" consciousness, but as you correctly point out, objects are not conscious as we understand the term; plants and trees, however, do possess some consciousness (perhaps "awareness would be a better term). A tree in your yard will "learn" to recognize you, and will respond to your energy...that is what consciousness is...energy.

The universe is deterministic.
Heisenberg's uncertainty principal is a limitation on human ability to measure subatomic interactions. It has no impact on the physical effects of one particle interacting with another.
To humans the universe seems in-deterministic, while in truth it is quite deterministic.

God gave us intelligence...we dont know how but He did...the soul to me is the memories but the Bible says the soul is flesh and dies..
