Anyways... IF you are your body.... Why is it that you have little to no control over it? IT is all you.... correct? Can you halt YOUR internal processes? Can you stop your intestinal tract? Perhaps stop your hair growth? IF you are your body... Why can't YOU control it?

LOL Just like that, huh? How do you know? What reasoning have you come up with for this belief?

Jigger, I feel sorry for you, you're able to find this out for yourself, but you'd rather lure people into thinking that you actually care about the truth, when really you are lying in wait to shed blood. I'm guessing you've read my NDE story I posted on this site, it's the only thread I've made thus far. Also I would share scripture with you, but you say that you've read the bible already, so, all I can say is you'll have to find that out for yourself, and you will, eventually.

No, no shedding of blood. Though I do find it amazing how you metaphysical types are always bashing the person, like you did here, but claim that those offering valid logic are the ones doing the bashing. Plus, the metaphysical types go running off into fantasy beliefs before researching the simplest answers.
I offered the most logical argument on why there aren't any emotions in the afterlife, and you can't reply in kind with the most logical reason why there ARE emotions in the afterlife. Do that and we've got a nice chat, other than you throwing little tantrums like this. I can sense that you're better than that.

Let us say that the brain releases chemicals so that we can react physically in a physical world but the brain itself is prompted by the immortal Soul which experiences emotion in a way unique to it. Of course I know that you reject the possibility of a Soul nevertheless this is an answer to your question you might care to consider.

You didn't answer it, Shema. LOL "emotions in a way unique to it" is not an answer. Do you think the soul is pure energy, and can energy be pulled together without flesh to form emotions? I don't know, but in order to believe we can have emotions that aren't a direct result of the brain, I'd love to hear the hows and whys of it. Is this yet another aspect of the metaphysical where ya just gotta have faith?

Have to admit, AK, you're one of the rare ones that sticks to the topic.

Well what say we continue with that trend eh?
What did you think of that conversation in my thread?
I could be a spirit. I could be a part of a universal consciousness. My body could be made of pure energy. But, right now, I AM human. I AM an earthling. I AM a worker, a father, an American, a tax payer...
