[QUOTE="Ishraqiyun, post: 57960689, member: 280646"] Actions like the movement of ones arm? Are arm is composed of matter right? If there is truly an absolute consciousness / matter dichotomy things would be pretty hard to explain. One common theory is that consciousness is merely an epiphenomena of matter. It's a monism of sorts but of the opposite variety than I proposed. Not many buy into the strict Cartesian dualism anymore. The experience of it can often cause sensations at that area of the body. People have been known to "see" glowing lights in that region or feel as if their center of attention automatically traveled there. In the Jesus prayer for example attention is drawn to the heart and the sacred name is repeated - "Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me". Whenever attention wanders from the heart it is brought back again. This can be accompanied by feelings of warmth or pain in the region. :D Never thought of using that as a pick up line. [/QUOTE]
