Well, everyone is entitled to an opinion
Perhaps you should try to post some objective, relevant counterevidence instead of just saying "Nay!"
Do I really need to post like 50 links, or just have you google it yourself...?
Scientific American magazine good enough, or not?You made the claim that there are scientific sources that validate this idea.
Upto you to cite those sources.
I don't need 50. 1 or 2 valid science sources will do.
ps: I did google it. It return me page after page after page of new age, religious and pseudo-scientific shenannigans, but no scientific papers.
Sometimes our feelings have to override our mind, and sometimes our mind has to override our feelings, our dual-nature, and that is where discernment and wisdom comes in...
God Bless!
Where do feelings and emotions come from then...? They do not come solely "from" the mind or brain, something else (wherever our feelings come from) from outside our brains acts on or influences the brain in our heads and interrupts and influences and affects it's thinking processes (something from outside of it affects it)...Also...the article states that "second brain" is just a nickname scientists have given it. Though I think the picture is getting clearer...
You saw a movie with a robot with two brains.
You read an article (or at least the title) about a bundle of nerves in your belly.
You jumped to some rather unfounded conclusions.
But you cannot deny that sometimes acting or not acting on or listening to what we "feel" is right or wrong, and sometimes, acting or not acting on or listening to what we "think" is right or wrong, and that they are (seem to be) two separate almost diametrically polar opposites/opposed things, do you...? Especially how it applies to ethics and morality...?Well, if you want to talk about feelings and how they can affect the decision making process...that's fine.
Personally, I realized very early on that people made lots of bad decisions based upon their "feelings" and I tried to avoid doing the same.

How come a word or a thought (or something we hear or see), (from outside our brains) can affect our bodies that produce a chemical/hormonal response that affects our mind (brain) and greatly influences or thinking processes in and with it, and can greatly affect what comes out of it (our brain/mind) when we make a decision or draw a conclusion or act out of it, or do something out of it (our brain/mind)...Nope...you're talking about hormonal/chemical processes now.
That's an example of where your mind overriding what you feel is right...Of course they are...practical example...
Let's say an attractive woman walks by...
On a very primitive basic level, I'd enjoy having sex with her, this is a feeling.
On a more conscious thought level...I know that having sex with her would be bad for my marriage in many ways.
Also there's the consideration of how I will feel about it afterwards...that might not be so great.
Is that the sort of thing you're talking about?
Btw, sorry...I didn't realize I'd jumped threads
Neither did I... Can we continue this is ethics and morality, I think that's where it should be, thanks for talking with me BTW...Btw, sorry...I didn't realize I'd jumped threads
When, what most refer to the "heart" and the mind work as "one" and one knows right and wrong and acquires the wisdom necessary to know right and wrong and has the wisdom and has the will necessary to choose to not do the wrong anymore, or ever, then we will be "perfect", not until then...According the Christian Denomination I once belonged to a perfect human doesn't have that struggle with wrongful tendencies that are being described here as essential to free will or as a second brain.
Adam and Eve were perfect and their descendants were intended to inherit that perfection of both body and mind.When, what most refer to the "heart" and the mind work as "one" and one knows right and wrong and acquires the wisdom necessary to know right and wrong and has the wisdom and has the will necessary to choose to not do the wrong anymore, or ever, then we will be "perfect", not until then...
God Bless!
Yes, that's a bit of a "hole" in that theory, isn't it... They were supposedly created "perfect" yet they disobeyed... I did think of that, just didn't mention it right then...Adam and Eve were perfect and their descendants were intended to inherit that perfection of both body and mind.

If you wanna play this game some more, we can, if you want...
With so many sources, pretty much all saying the same thing, we shouldn't have to though...
God Bless!
