Ancient people, king David (r. 1012- died ca. 972 BCE) and apsotle John (fl. 27 - ca. 90 CE) to name a few, were more technical in terms of understanding what 'mind' is. They understood 'heart' and 'reins' (kidneys) as mind. Other implicated mouth, lips, or tongue as 'mind', whereas some people told 'ear' as an organ that can understand and lips as can learn. They even have mentioned that 'heart' has thoughts or can utter (verbally and mentally) a speech.
Heart and thoughts can be also interchangeably used. (cf. Psalms 26:2 & 139:23)
Heart of 'flesh' and of 'feelings' are used interchangeably.
The biological reason is neurological !
All sensory-impulses-sending organs have consciousnesses and all mentioned organs (heart, lips, tongue, mouth, reins, and ear) are connected to the brain cells via neural pathways. (cf. Psalms 7:9, Ecclesiastes 3:11, revelation 2:23, Jeremiah 17:10 & 31:33 & 5:21, Proverbs 15:7,14, 28 & 17:20 & 14:7 & 10:19-21 & 16:1,21, Psalms 39:3 & 17:3, I Chronicles 28:9, Psalms 84:2 & 16:9, Job 13:1, Psalms 51:10,17, Proverbs 17:23, Obadiah 1:3, Proverbs 23:33, Isaiah 50:4 & 6:10)
The feelings we feel brought out by emotion is also called 'heart', so that heart (emotion) motivates the mind. And a function of heart of 'feelings', like being 'satisfied,' is a function of eyes, too, it is because eyes and heart are inter-affecting via neural pathways from the brain. as the heart mourns, so does the eye, or as the lips utter, so does the heart. Organs -intestines, stomach, diaphragm, muscles, etc.- of the abdomen are implicated as heart or mind. The activity of mouth or tongue is an activity of the heart. All these functions of mind are because of neural connections of all organs to the brain cells. (cf. Proverbs 25:20 & 15:28 & 16:9 & 27:10, Psalms 88:9 & 20:27, KJV)
" ... in the imagination of the thoughts of
the heart of thy people ... "
- I Chronicles 29:18 (KJV)
People has heart, which according to king David has thoughts, which have imagination. His son understood 'heart' as 'memory' or emotion memory. 'Thoughts' is defined 'ways', 'devices' , or 'plans. It is a fact that heart has ways or neural pathways to and fro the brain, and those ways of electrochemical impulses are important to have proper thoughts or plans. (Proverbs 19:21 & 14:22, Isaiah 55:8, I Kings 8:17,18, job 21:27, KJV)
" ... I will put My law in their minds,
and write it on their hearts ; ... "
- Jeremiah 31:33 (NKJV)
Instruction can be put in mind by writing it on the heart. It will be written by the Pneuma (Breath) of the living Causer-of-Existence 'on the tablet of heart' or on the 'tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.' What can 'flesh of the heart' do that was why it is considered having thoughts ? The heart and flesh can cry out! The 'flesh' of man cries out - How ? By resounding or making noise, like when being terrified. bio-technically, this is because of the fast beating of the heart as impulses from the brain's amygdala's & hypothalamus' neural pathways and as adrenaline from kidneys (reins) and brain run into the heart. FOCUS of conscious-self in this condition may be in the heart region and in the skin & muscle of other body's portions.
Jesus himself may refer to 'heart' as 'focus of consciousness' when he said: " For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (cf. Matthew 6:21, NKJV).
The skin & muscle of that region become more conscious because of the terror, fear, or intention. It seems that 'we' are the skin & muscle because those organs become more conscious. But it is clear that we are clothed with skin & flesh and have been granted life, so that 'we' specifically are not the skin, flesh or life (cf. Job 10:11-12).
We are the consciousness, dust (elements) of our body, and breath (metabolic effects). Without any of these -soul (i.e. that which breathes), body and spirit (breath) - we are not 'we' . (cf. Jeremiah 17:1, IICorinthians 3:3, Proverbs 3:3, Ezekiel 11:19 & 36:26, Psalms 84:2, Isaiah 15:5 & 16:11, Isaiah 21:4, Jeremiah 1:19, Psalms 55:4,5, Psalms 119:120, Habakkuk 3:16, Jeremiah 23:9 & 48:36, Nahum 2:10, Psalms 22:14)
Soul was understood in ancient Israel as 'head' - a place of the brain - which breathes, and therefore 'living soul' may mean 'breathing head (brain)' and 'dead soul' means 'breathless head'. In Hebrew it is nephesh, literally means 'that which breathes,' and translated in Greek psyche, literally "breath" and understood as 'principle of life' or 'life', and derived from the verb psychein (which means "to breathe"). Soul or Head, which all the body , is nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments (bands) and continuously increasing with the increase which is from the Causer-of-Existence. Inside these joints or spinal bones are the nerve fibers connected to the brain. the brain cells, dendrites and telodendria (axon terminals) are continuously increasing as neurons in the brain are also continuously damaged or dying.
Why head is called soul ('that which breathes') ?
In terms of breathing, brain in the head is the most consumptive of molecular oxygen (which is the very reactive component of air or breath) because of its 100 000 000 million synapses, where metabolic activities are greatly taking place.
Man is himself a living soul (breathing brain).
" And YHWH formed man of dust from
the earth, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life,
wayehi ha-adam le-nefesh hayya
and became the man a breather / soul living . "
- Genesis 2:7
(Psalms 63:5, Job 16:4, Psalms 78:50 & 116:8 & 56:13 )
The tangible man can be divided into
(1) the head portion (soul) and
(2) the body portion (where belly is located).
(cf. Isaiah 10:18, Colossians 2:19, Matthew 10:28)
There was a knowledge in the ancient days that cutting off the head could totally kill a man.
(cf. ISamuel 31:9 & 17:51, cf. Psalms 74:14)
Soul (Head portion) : e.g. brain (i.e. soul), nose (nostrils),
mouth (lips, tongue-palate, throat), eyes, ears
Body : e.g. heart, bosom (belly, bowels: stomach, intestines; inner most parts:
solar plexus), reins (kidneys), hands, legs
Nefesh -soul- which literally means 'that which breathes' is scripturally referring to the head portion or, for Levites,figuratively the blood's hemoglobin (which breathes).
Soul (brain) is the watery fatty portion of the head. (cf. Proverbs 13:4, KJV)
" The liberal soul shall be made fat ; and he that
watereth shall be watered also himself "
- Proverbs 11:25 (King James Version)
Brain is the most oxygen-consumptive organ of a man.It processes the organismic 'life', the knowledge, praising, hearing, hearing, eating, hunger, tasting, thirst, desire, longing, joy, discouragement, abhorrence etc. knowing is one of its effects and thus it is the seat of knowledge. Living soul is a 'breathing brain,' which can be departed. a person with a departed soul (living brain, breathing head) is dead. (cf. I Kings 17:21-22)
Soul (head) can be slinged (hurled) as out of the middle of a sling or can be beheaded or can be lifted up, or can be bowed down to the dust. It can be hunted by making kerchiefs upon the head and when it is bound in the bundle it will die. It is considered to be the 'life' of a man. (Leviticus 26:43, Numbers 21:4, Psalms 139:14, Proverbs 24:14, Joshua 11:11, ISamuel 25:29, Revelation 20:4, Psalms 143:8 & 44:25, Isaiah 58:5, Ezekiel 13:18-19 & 18:4, Psalms 24:4,7)
The uttering (throat, mouth) portion of the soul (head) can be emptied and, therefore, will become thirsty (cf. Isaiah 32:6, Proverbs 25:25).
Every soul (head) upon the water that tries to escape a flood or overwhelming sea will die if water has gone over that soul (cf. Revelation 16:3, Psalms 124:4,5,7) The mouth portion of the soul (head) may eat (to taste how sweet a meat it wanted to eat) to be satisfied from hunger, or it can also refuse to touch meat to avoid the soul (brain) to be polluted by abominable flesh even it longs to eat flesh (Deuteronomy 12:15, Proverbs 13:19 & 19:15 & 13:2,4,25 & 27:7, job 6:7, Psalms 63:5 & 107:9,18, Revelation 18:14).
" My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips "
- Psalms 63:5
"... to afflict his soul ? ... to bow down his head ... "
- Isaiah 58:5 (KJV)
"... soul is bowed down to the dust : ... "
- Psalms 44:25 (KJV)
"...and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature
to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls
of my people, and will ye save the soul alive
that come unto you ? ...slay the souls that should not die,
and to save the souls alive that should not live,.. "
- Ezekiel 13:18,19 (King James Version)
"...and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded... "
- Revelation 20:4
"All they that ...none can keep alive his own soul "
- Psalms 22:29 (KJV)
"...and every living soul died in the sea "
- Revelation 16:3
"...the soul that sinneth, it shall die "
- Ezekiel 18:4 (KJV)
The mouth's lips of the soul (head) can be used to praise, rejoice, and cry (cf. Psalms 119:75 & 35:9, Job 24:12, KJV).
The ears of the soul (head) are the organs to hear (cf. Isaiah 55:3, Acts 3:23).
The life will be lost if soul (head) is laid in the dust, and it will be destroyed. But soul from hell (grave, death) may be regained its life in some circumstances. cf. Psalms 7:5 & 63:9 & 78:50, acts 3:23 & 2:27, 31, Matthew 10:20, IKings 17:21,22, Proverbs 23:13,14, Psalms 89:48 & 56:13 & 116:8)
In ancient times, souls (heads, life, persons) of men were sold by the Babylonians and Phoenicians in a barter (cf. Ezekiel 27:13, cf. Revelation 18:13)
Soul (head) is too important because all of our consciousness are processed here to be realized or perceived In fact, head (soul) and life can be interchangeably used, and people may be counted per head (soul).
" For the word of God is quick, and powerful,
and sharper than any two-edge sword, piercing
even to the dividing asunder of soul (head) and spirit (breath), and of the joints (spinal bones)
and marrow (brain), and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart (mind). "
- Hebrews 4:12
The Scriptures give a lot of references where this nefesh or psyche (soul) can be located in the body.
"...the soul (head portion) of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul (head) " - I Samuel 18:1
" Take no thought for your psyche ('head which breathes'), what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on " - Luke 12:22
"... the soul... eat ..." - Proverbs 13:2
"... blood of the souls of the poor innocents: ... " - Jeremiah 2:34 (KJV)
"...sword reacheth unto the soul " - Jeremiah 4:10 (KJV)
"And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe:..." - Joshua 11:11 (KJV)
"...smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls... ...utterly destroyed all that breathed..." - Joshua 10:39-40 (KJV)
"Who have for my psyche ('which breathes') laid down their own necks: ... " - Romans 16:4
"...for his pysche (brain which breathes) is in him " - Acts 20:10
" Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his psyche (head which breathes) for his friends " - John 15:13 (compare to Mark 6:27-29)
"...soul chooseth strangling, and death..." - job 7:15 (KJV)
"... I lift up my soul unto thee " - Psalms 143:8 (cf. Jeremiah 52:31, KJV)
"...but sent leanness into their soul " - Psalms 106:15 (KJV)
"...his blood shall be upon his own head. .. . his soul " - Ezekiel 33:4-5
"... to shed blood, and to destroy souls,... " - Ezekiel 22:27 (KJV)
"...waters are come in unto my soul. ...my throat...mine eyes.../. mine head...me..." - Psalms 69:1,3,4 (KJV)
"... the soul (head) of Jonathan kissed the soul of David,.." - ISamuel 18:1
BRAIN
Unlike to other ancient beliefs, the scriptural soul (brain) can be died; and is taught to have the ability of knowing, converting into wise, remembering hearing, choosing, desiring, longing, refusing, saying (words), seeking (something), abhorrence loathing, being discourage; getting sorrow, angry, hungry; praising; being satisfied; being weary, afflicted, with bitterness; making sin, being strangled (obstructed seriously the normal breathing of); capacity of refreshing, being polluted, getting fat, receiving water, being delighted, preserving, dying, becoming lean, and so forth. all these activities were not in favor with the popular belief about brain during Aristotelian and Roman imperial days which changed the meaning of psyche into "mind" and then apparently adopted the Egyptian or Babylonian 'soul'. (cf. ISamuel 25:25, Proverbs 11:25, Isaiah 32:6, Proverbs 13:19,25 & 19:15 & 23:16 & 25:25 & 24:14, Psalms 63:9 & 63:5, Isaiah 10:18, IKings 17:21,22, Psalms 33:20 &78:50, genesis 12:13, Psalms 143:8, 11 ; Exodus 30:12, Proverbs 25:13, Psalms 142:7, Isaiah 29:8, Psalms 78:50 & 116:8 & 56:13, Colossians 2:19, Job 20:23-25, Psalms 24:4, Psalms 24:4,7)
"So that my soul chooses strangling, the death rather than my bones " - Job 7:15
From this statement of Job we can discover two things about nefesh (soul):
Soul (brain) has the ability to 'choose',
and soul (head) can be on the condition of being strangled (choked to death by compressing throat by something).
This ability to choose is popularly called 'free will'. Peter elaborates further, suggesting that psyche ('which breathes') or soul (brain) could rationalize against lusts (e.g. of the body's sex organ) when he said "...fleshly lust which war against the soul " (IPeter 2:11). Paul connotes this 'soul' as 'mind' when he testifies: "...another law in my members (organs), warring against the law of my mind,..." - Romans 7: 23
Likewise, Jeremiah suggests that the nefesh (soul) can function the function of the brain-mind.
"My soul still remembers...This I recall..." - Lamentation 3:20,21
This categorical statement in Lamentation 3:20 that nephesh or soul (brain) could remember proves what knowledge did ancient scriptural people had had. The organ of man that breathes, i.e., nefesh (soul), can remember.
Literal translation of
Proverbs 23:7 a (i.e. " For as one thinks in his soul, so is he... ")
proves that the king Solomon (r.972-c.932 BCE) and, inevitably, his people knew that ' in nephesh (head-brain)' man is thinking. Why this statement of the said king-scientist is important ? Because it suggests that we are what we think or we exist because we think, and vice versa. It is not surprising because his father, David taught that 'soul knows right well ' (cf. Psalms 139:14).
(Psalms 107:9,18, numbers 21:4, Job 24:12, Psalms 143:6 & 124:4-5, Isaiah 32:6, Psalms 35:12,9, Deuteronomy 12:15, 20, Acts 3:23, job 24:12)
If we are because we think or because 'man thinks, so is he,' then
WHERE IS THE SELF ?
The question "Where exactly 'we' are in the body? " is simply answered by almost all religions as that 'we' are immortal being entirely apart from and riding on and controlling the mortal brain.
However, ancient scriptural people have a different knowledge about man. King David taught to his kingdom that 'certainly every man at his best state is but vapor,' a lie or delusion (cf. Pslams 39:5, cf. 2Thessalonians 2:11, NKJV).
Man is a delusion, some say an illusion, lighter than vapor.
"Surely men of low degree are a vapor, men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed in the balances, they are altogether lighter than vapor " - Psalms 62:9 (NKJV)
" Men of low estate are but a breath, men of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath " - Psalms 62:9 (RSV)
When somebody says " I am out of my mind, " who is the self - the "I" or the "mind" ? Whom that " I " is referring to? Is not the "I" subduing the "mind" or the mind ruling over the " I " or the self controlling the self ? The " I " could be out of its "mind".
"... mindful... visit... "
"...take knowledge of... " - Psalms 8:4 & 144:3 (NKJV)
Mind is a taking of knowledge or a visiting. It is the 'blindfoldedly' visiting on our 'switches' ('neurons') in the brain to control 'playback' (e.g. remembering, recalling), 'command' (e.g. choosing'), 'emotion center(s)' (e.g. feelings), associative neurons of reflexes (e.g. unconscious), 'reverberative replays' (e.g. evaluating), and many more. This visiting (mind) is done of the unified nascentiraptic Force (charges) of the synapses.
"...the imagination of the thoughts ..." - IChronicles 29:18 (KJV)
Thoughts are ways, devices, and plans and, in the body, imply to the neural connections, centers of neurons, and detailed formulations of a program of actions (e.g. designs, plots, schemes).
"Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me " - Job 21:27 KJV
Thoughts have visualize or imagine (formed mental image of something not present to the senses). Where the thoughts or visualization happen ?
" I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me " - Daniel 4:5 KJV
Dream, thoughts, and visions happen in the head.
To think is to device or to plan, or to visit (mind) the thoughts (neural connections, centers of neurons, and detailed formulations of a program of actions).
"Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, and as I have purposed, so it shall stand: This is the purpose that is purposed...the hand that is stretched out over all... " - Isaiah 14:24,26 (NKJV)
Thinking is 'coming to pass a purpose' - a visiting of the unified nascentiraptic Force on thoughts - or is stretching out the hand (power) over the neurons.
How a purpose can be established ?
" without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellers they are established ' - Proverbs 15:22 KJV
"Every purpose is established by counsel: ... " - proverbs 20:18
What is a counsel ?
"...the words...the counsel... " - Psalms 107:11
The words-assembling neurons in the different locations in the brain establish the purpose (plan) we think as we speak mentally. Multitude of 'counsellers' or centers are involved to establish a purpose (plan). The hands or 'branches' of neurons are stretched out by thinking, adding their length little by little as 'thinking' is continuous. Thinking has a collateral effect, it causes the development, increase, and enhancement of dendrites, telodendria (axon terminals), and apparently of neurons.
Unified Nascentiraptic Force (charges)
Mind is a visiting on
Thinking is a visiting on thoughts
Thinking is a visiting of unified nas-Force on thoughts.
Kinds of Thinking
In an inborn deaf person, imagining is possibly the most active kind of thinking. Feeling touches & speaking mentally are most apparent kinds of thinking for an inborn blind person, whereas an inborn deaf & blind person uses 'feeling touches' mentally as kind of thinking.
For ordinary normal person 'speaking mentally' is the usual active way of thinking, making his speaking-generating neurons active.
This 'thinking' is what we called 'self' because by it we can ask, imagine, compare, give attention, recall, react, feel, command, evaluate, or interpret. Traditionally it is called "mind", others called it "interpreter", and Aristotle called it "mind" or "soul'. But there is a force makes 'thinking' functional or possible, that is, the nascentiraptic Charges, also called 'ruakh/pneuma (breath, wind, spirit) of mind.
"Therefore my anxious thoughts make me answer... ...and the ruakh (breath, spirit) of my understanding causes me to answer " - Job 20:23
"... the spirit of your mind " - Ephesians 4:23
We all know what are active in this ruakh (wind) or pneuma (spirit,), the electrons of molecular oxygen, if referring to the metabolic effect "breath" or electrons of sodium ions, if referring indirectly to effect of metabolism (or to the electrochemical conduction).
Mind or visiting nas-Force has active electrons (electric charges).
"Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father,..." - Deuteronomy 32:7
The most remarkable feature of our thinking, to know ourselves who we are, is the remembering of our past experiences. Without it, we cannot know our selves in the past. And if we forget our experiences over and over again without any recall, we will forget what had happened to us from time to time. Imagine if your relatives and friends are introduced to you and telling you who they are and who you are over and over again.
One of the famous examples to have problem partly similar to it was H.M., who due to epilepsy had undergone an operation, removing both medial portion (where hippocampus is located) of his temporal lobe in 1953 when he was 27 years old. He could remember his past experiences except from two years ago to his present days because he had minor retrograde amnesia.However, he has a profound anterograde amnesia, that is, he could not transfer new 'experiences' from short-term to long-term memory. To quote R.A. Baron:
" For example, he could not remember people he met even if he encountered them over and over again. When his family moved to a new home, he could not find his way back to it, even after months of practice. He could read the same magazine over and over again with continued enjoyment because as soon as he put it down, he forgot what it contained." (Psychology 2nd edition, page 237. Boston: Allyn & Bacon/ read also: Further analysis of the hippocampal amnestic syndrome: 14-year follow up study of H.M. Neuropsychologia, 6. 317-338, by B. Milner, S. Corkin, & H.L. Teuter. 1968)

Human Virtual Memory
- Hebrews 11:4 (King James Version)
An example of human virtual memory (HVM) was that had retained in Abel's blood (Genesis 4:10). By such a memory, a dead man can speak and show what autobiographical (full or fragment) memory he may have had. Give more or less 50 years from now, and our neuro-technicians can develop a human visual virtual memory (HVVM) storable in computer. Other HVM can also be produced if interfaces to receive brain signals for auditory (from temporal lobe), tactile (from parietal sensory cortex), olfactory (from brain smell center), gustatory (from brain taste center), 'emotion' (from amygdala), and so forth are invented.
" Your remembrances are like unto ashes,
your bodies to bodies of clay "
- Job 13:12 (KJV)
In ancient times, one way of 'replaying' or retrieving natural human virtual memory (NHVM) by 'chance' way is by whispering to the dust of dead on the ground; others by divination on the gall or by stone or crystal (cf. Isaiah 29:4, Joshua 24:27). In the dawn of modern era the living human brain itself of a person was used to do that by 'hypnotic regression' since atoms of molecules from carbohydrate (etc.) we ate might have few stuck (cohered) fragments of other human virtual memory -and so far, this technique (hypnotic regression) is apparently the easiest way to playback NHVM again and again to average people.
Another method is by electrical stimulation of a living person's brain.
In Middle English days it was begun to be called 'ghost', which may mean 'breath' because some of them appeared by, as smoke-of-mouth-during-winter-season since they could affect air's temperature, probably by sudden splitting of air gas (e.g. nitrogen). (cf. Matthew 27:50) In ancient Greece it was called φάντασμα (phantasma), meaning 'ghostly apparition' (mentioned in the scriptures once, in Matthew 14:26). The word phantasma is a noun of phantazein, meaning 'to present to the mind' (middle voice, 'to imagine'), from phainein ('to show'). Theoretically, once our eyes & skin have detected it, our Alpobreña under brain alpha state will morph it and appear it in our vision clearer (sometimes with face and voice), even though a CCTV camera is synchrononously capturing it as a nucleus of independent cloud (smoke). That nucleus of independent cloud is also called 'dew' as the dew of malva (herbs), which when in a form (state) of fog appears as a cloud (cf. Isaiah 26:19, Micah 5:7).
(malva nicaeensis)
One thing is possible, restless natural HVM retained in some air molecules can electrostatically influence other molecules. How to capture it by a container without fragmenting or liberating it from the molecules is an ambition we have to consider with so that we can study and learn from them how we can encode retrievable data (videographic, audiographic, etc.) on air's molecules (or how we can encode better retain-able infos on individual molecules). Electric charges may be used as a pen to encode infos on molecules by certain technique. Different odorous molecules give different smells, suggesting that there are various arrangement of beta photons or electrons in molecules to have such diverse effects (infos) we call odors.
Physical Body . . .
Once a man or his body died, he can know not any thing, neither has he any more a reward, for his memory is forgotten. Also his love, hatred, and envy is perished, neither has he any more a portion for ever on any thing that is done under the sun, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the death whither he goes, because wisdom shall die with him, his ghost (breath) goes forth; he returns to his earth, as his soul dies and cleaves unto the dust, in that very day his thoughts and all memory perish, and he may rest from his labors and his works do follow him. (cf. Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10, job 17:2, Psalms 146:4, Isaiah 26:14, Ezekiel 18:4, Psalms 119:25, Revelation 14:13, Isaiah 38:18, King James Version)
" ... the body without the pneuma (breath, wind, spirit)
is dead ... " - James 2:26
Dead is defined breath-less, 'sleep', 'silence,' 'forgotten; ' and to 'die' means 'to vanish away like smoke, to wax old like a garment,' to waste away and give up the ghost (breath). Psalms 104:29, john 11:11-14, Acts 13:36, Psalms 115:17 & 31:12 & 6:5, Isaiah 51:6, Job 14:10.
Clinically, there are two major classes of sleep:
1) Sleep of rest - is the usual resting of a living organism .
2) Sleep of death - is the sleep of a dead body.
( John 11:13 , Psalms 13:3 KJV )
There is no difference between sleep of rest and of death except the condition of the brain and body. In the former, body is reorganizing its contents and continuously emitting brain rhythms, whereas in the latter the body is disintegrating its contents and the brain has stopped functioning.
Human autobiographical memory is stopped during ordinary sleep, but can be played again once the body is ready or in its awake state. Beside to neurons' atoms, human memory can be interfacingly stored into electronic memory.
Nevertheless, it suggests that human virtual memory being stored in electric medium can be a future 'instrument' to bring back to life a person, if interfacing silicon-based being's body is invented (so that the first part of life was that of the carbon-based body and the second part will be of the silicon-based body).
It is the body will give chance for the HVM how long it will live alive.
If eternal or incorruptible body is invented,
the HVM can live alive for ever.

Invention
We are familiar with the computer. And it is very uncalled-for if we hear a man declaring with UNCERTAINTY that the computer is not an INVENTION and does not have a PURPOSE and that it has existed without any REASON.
And yet, computer is too crude and simple as compared to the human brain.
Now, is the most complicated machine -i.e. human brain- an invention or not ? does it have a reason why it exists ? And does it have a purpose ?
Yes, human brain is the most complicated invention ever-ly invented, perfected through nature, and we can have it freely. And this invention is engineered not from big raw materials but from molecular ones -the DNA & RNA- which are a voluminous collection of nature's books or encyclopedias, complete with instructions, present and not present.
The Inventor of this invention is the One who invented nature or nature's materials. He did not use literal hands to invent nature's inventions but the do-not-appearing-things of His eternal power & Godhead. His active power to have 'nature' is but the light, which is made of quanta, which are composed of photons. These do not appearing things can make visible the created objects because all objects are made up of subatomic particles, which are absolutely composed of gamma photons, 'for whatever makes manifest is light' because 'all things that are exposed are manifest by light' . He 'is light and in Him is no darkness at all' and 'with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning'. He forms the light and creates darkness and, therefore, this Light is 'the Father of lights.' (cf. Ephesians 5:13, Hebrews 11:3, Romans 1:20; IJohn 1:5, James 1:17)
With the photons it can be possible to predetermine the formation of living things, simply because organic and inorganic chemicals -even the raw materials for living organisms- are created by the explosion of supernovaeone, nebulareone, or star. Amino acids -both the right & left handed- are naturally created by various means, one of which is by the fragments of star's (or sun's) planetisimal period of explosion.
" My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. your eyes saw my substance, being yet uniformed. and in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. how precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! " - Psalms 139:15-17 (NKJV)
Gaseous atoms and molecules are naturally created by converting the gamma photons into heavier and heavier subatomic particles, and rutherfically fusing and fissioning nucleons by the activities inside the star (e.g. our Sun). water is naturally created by burning hydrogen in the oxygen.
When the earth was created and hanged upon nothing in its circle or orbit, both dead and living DNA & RNA trembled because the power -destructive & constructive- which has word was uttered. (cf. Job 26:4-7) DNA molecules are natural replicating molecular machines, attracting protein molecules and producing enzymes.
It would take time before the various catalytic clay, rocks, and substances, and metals formed DNA, RNA, and protein. Imagine a proto-earth with a sticky crust because its upper layer was teeming with amino acids, phosphates, bases, and RNA ? The tendency would be, later or sooner, a pangea, panthalassa and air with a bountiful variety of organisms as DNA molecules were gun here and there as meteorological and geological activities fired those molecules from and to every place on the crust.
This may corroborate the declaration of an ancient king-scientist that "all (living creatures) are from the dust" -where dust refers to elements. To short cut, man was ' wrought in the lowest parts of the earth' . It would have first animals or beasts. And as far as breath, physical constitution, and death are concerned, the estate of the sons of men are ANIMAL or beast. (cf. Ecclesiastes 3:18-21, 20, Psalms 139:15) The first male and female man were not rational -they didn't know 'good & evil' the way we know it today. It was in a certain part of Israel, in the location of the empire-sized Eden, that the first rational human beings had existed -and discovered by modern scientists. certain chemicals from certain plant enhanced the growth of brain cells into their full maturity - 10 or up to 120 years matured than monkey's, although brain's development is not dependent on that chemical enhancer.
Nonetheless, man , monkeys, animals, plants, all other creatures, and even our planet are come from the dust.
Monkey's or Orangutan's brain cells, even at the chronological age of 30 years, are as immature as 1 year or 2 years old human baby's brain cells. Dolphins and dogs have brain cells more matured than monkey's, but they don't have man's vocal cords and man's hands to easily prove the level of their rationality.
If the processes that had occurred on the planet earth to form human beings is similar to other Universe's stellar-planetary systems, then it is possible that there are other 'creature' or other 'worlds' or other 'worshiping sons' on other stars at divers times or distances in the Universe.
"... the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear " - Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)
Those ' WORLDS' in the heavens (Universe) have VISIBLE thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers; as well as the invisible, whether above or below the horizon of the planet Earth. (cf. Colossians 1:16, Romans 8:19-23,39).
Water or liquids are not a monopoly of the planet Earth because even 'above the heavens' - nebulae and galaxies- water is literally existing, many of which are bigger than the size of our Solar System. (cf. Psalms 148:4)
(Illustration: Milde Science Communications/HST Archive data/ CFHT/J-C Cuillandre/Coelum)
Water detected with its maser emission from a galaxy.
Never in the Scriptures that a spirit messenger ( wind angel ) is being called 'son' of the Father, and yet other worshipers in the heavens or Universe are called 'sons', and even during the founding of the earth there are " sons " that shouted for joy. (cf. Hebrews 1:5, Job 38:4-7) This is an intergalactic faith in which the worshipers know that sometime in the past & future other 'worlds' or sons-inhabited planets or morning star were & will be founded in the heavens. they may have universal measurements: say, for length (L) is the diameter of the hydrogen atom, and for time (T) is the distance of the hydrogen atom's diameter expended in the velocity of white visible light.
All these 'sons' have brain, made up of brain cells and brain chemicals. Every part of the brain has a reason why it exists.
(Image Source)
Neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) are called 'brain cells", whereas in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are 'sensory neurons" (or neuroreceptors).
Neuron serve as switch, relay, wire and, in the brain, as a computer, containing memory (or molecular storage media), and it is composed of a soma (body), and processes" dendrites (branches), axon (cord), and telondendria (axon terminals or electrodes). Its nucleus (central region is made up of nucleoprotein (storage material). The soma (cellular body) is composed of carbohydrate (glucose), phosphates, vitamins, amino acids, and potassium (K+) ions (upper storage materials), whereas the myelin sheath is made of soft white lipids, sphingosine, and A1 protein.
In the CNS, brain cell is functioning as an integrated circuit (electronic IC) with up to thousands of wirings.
Neurons of sense organs, however, are modified version of brain cells. Sensory neurons are exposed brain receiving stimuli instead of neurotransmitters. Consciousness exists in the sensory neuron, whereas mind & realization exist on/ in the brain cell.
Each sensory-connected brain cell realize a tiny consciousness. Hundreds of millions of such brain cells (and consciousnesses) are needed to be interconnected properly and unified to have a single type of consciousness. All types of consciousness are the visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), tactile (touch), gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), vomeronasal (probably, alluring), kinesthetic & vestibular (movement & balancing), and some unnamed senses. Gustatory consciousness is even divided into several kinds (e.g. salty, sweet, sour, and bitter), whereas tactile consciousness into pain, hotness, coldness, pressure, stretch or vibration, and continuous touch. Technically speaking,if each sensory neuroreceptor is sending a consciousness, a CONSCIOUS SELF is composed of hundreds of millions of consciousnesses unified in the brain by means of proper interconnections. Brain cells are interconnected, 1st for a particular type of consciousness, 2nd stage for the kinds of the type, 3rd for the voluntary motor control, and so on. Double or many literal minds may exist in a brain - with one major voluntary-controlling mind - if wrong connection exists, as in the case of schizophrenia.
Mind in the brain cannot see the electrochemical impulses or enzymes in the brain simply because it detects nascentiraptic charges collectively the way we detect (view) scene or video on the computer/TV screen. If mind (controlling Force) cannot willfully control synaptic enzymes and telodendrial impulses, how then it can 'blindfolded-ly' control them ? By consciousness! Yes, by consciousness in the neuroreceptors of the sense organ. Since 'mind' cannot see the neuronal switches in brain, it will have to find a mean/way to control the target voluntary organ or, blindfolded-ly, the impulses & enzymes. As what I had experienced in my babyhood days, I had no idea that I have hands, feet, and body that was why I could not perfectly control my body. First, the mind must know that the targeted organ (e.g. ear's muscle) is part of its body. Second, the mind must receive sensation (touch, or kenisthesia) from the targeted organ, and third it must try to move it (even without knowledge how to turn its 'switch' on in the brain). By trying or thinking to move the voluntary organ, the mind in the thalamus will send signals to the sensory cortex which will possibly exert charges that can form threshold impulses and those impulses will branch into the nearest motor cortex connected to it. Mind is unknowingly producing the the impulses which will turn the switches on for the targeted organ.
But how mind can blindfolded-ly produce impulses ? Two facts are inevitably, simultaneously involved: the maintaining electrochemical circuit (current) in the living brain and mind is watching.
Watching MIND
The nascentiraptic controlling Force (mind) is watching through senses and replays. This nas-Charges (mind) has an umbra (focus) and penumbra (unvividly) and can move from one place to another (or many places) or from many places to another in the brain via interconnection of the brain cells and initially originating from the traffic system of the thalamus.
Maintaining Brain Current
AWARE
The gate (switches) for Waking Up System is the reticular formation. There is a necessary level of impulses to pass this gate and that level is the 'threshold' level. When eyes and/or ears are receiving enough amount of visible light and sound disturbances, respectively, the produce impulses are inevitably at threshold level. Technically, the optic neuroreceptors' impulses or auditory impulses branch into various regions of the brain, including in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the midbrain. Their impulses passing in the suprachiasmatic nucleus will inhibit the pineal gland to produce melatonin (or at least reduce its formation).
SLEEP INITIATION
In reverse condition, if there's no sound & visual electrochemical impulses are running in the said midbrain's nucleus, the pineal gland will secrete (issue) the vertebrate hormone melatonin. As this hormone journeys throughout the body, the part it will have reached feels fatigue. This signal of fatigue will need inactivity or relaxation, which is partly a mental function (e.g. exerting serotonergic-level charges). The received stimulus in the skin & muscle will reduce its influence of creating impulses. As the stimulus' influence declines, the produced neuro-electrochemical impulses reduce, too, until no enough threshold impulses can pass in the Gate of Waking up System: meaning, the weak impulses cannot reach the thalamus, hippocampus, hypothalamic mammillary bodies, and cortex via formatio reticularis. Only impulses from autonomic (or involuntary) organs (e.g. heartbeats, lungs' and diaphragm's expanding-contracting) are circulating in the brain. Without consciousnesses' neuroelectrochemical impulses, no conscious mind (nas-Force), of course, and the Conscious-self is stopped or none. What remains is the minimum maintaining electrochemical circuit (current) in the living brain. Its voltage goes high per second continuously.
The nascentiraptic Force (charges) of the replays can select the high or the low, the serotonergic level or the cholinergic level. Theoretically, there are two levels of maintaining minimum brain current, i.e., the serotonergic and cholinergic levels. These levels of charges are alternating-ly passing in the watching nascentiraptic Force. Once the nas-Force attaches on the cholinergic level, enzyme choline acetylase around the brain cells will be attracted to gather acetyl CoA and cholines, synthesizing (combining them to form into) acetylcholine. Electrochemical activity in the cerebral cortex hightens as the neurotransmitter acetylcholine increases.
There are three (3) major levels of nascentiraptic Charges (mind) in the brain: the lower, serotonergic; the middle, cholinergic; and the higher, adrenergic.
Memory (replays or stored infos) elevates the nascentiraptic level.
Memory, inevitably replays, has something to do with the elevation of the nas-Charges from cholinergic to adrenergic level (and if correct, from serotonergic to cholinergic level).
IN DANGER
The eyes, seeing a fearful sight, will send impulses into the optic chiasma (OC), thalamus, hypothalamus, and memory system.
After confirming in the replays of experiences or ideas that it is a dangerous event, the charges of the Mind will elevate from cholinergic to adrenergic level.
Charges from thalamus' neurons will stimulate the cuproenzyme or dopamine-beta-hydroxylase to combine oxygen with dopamine, forming norepinephrine. Other thalamic impulses from dorsomedial neurons will branch into the posterior hypothalamic nucleus (PHN), which has nerves (wires) connected to the heart. Other impulses from PHN will branch into the nerve of the adrenal medulla and will stimulate the chromoffin cells there to produce adrenaline (epinephrine) by synthesizing tyrosine or dopa to form into norepinephrine, then the latter into adrenaline. Adrenal medulla augments the adrenaline, which is secreted (released) into the blood vessels and transported throughout the body. Adrenaline can mobilize glycogen (food of cells) and can increase the oxygen consumption & blood flow, and can speed up the heart rate.
Mind itself cannot control voluntary organ (as in comatose) if synapses, dendrites, or telodendria in certain portion of the auditory system or thalamus are dislocated or hindered.
Continuous sound impulses passing in the auditory system may enter the anterior temporal lobe and pass the neurons there that facilitate the purposive & purposeful act, and then the medial surface's neurons that involved in the cognition of visual, audio, and apparently tactile (touch), and then neurons in region near the uncus area that will branch into the neurons of thalamus.
Another way to control a voluntary organ, the tactile conscious Mind in the parietal sensory brain cells must send impulses into the thalamus' ventralis posterior (VP), which may branch into the lateral ventral nucleus (NLV) and to the anterior nucleus (AN) of the thalamus. The AN neurons will then branch the impulses into the anterior cingulate gyrus. Anterior cingulate motor neurons are primarily involved in the junction between the tactile conscious Mind and switching on of the motor voluntary organs. Once (tactile) conscious Mind try to move an organ, the anterior cingulate neurons or the lateral ventral nucleus (NLV) neurons will elevate their level from serotonergic to cholinergic.
FREE WILL
"Free will" is a form of reflex. It operates by replaying (asking) previous recorded experiences or combining recorded experiences or ideas to form a new one. To choose what to visualize or imagine is a 'free will' act based on the replays of recorded infos or deducted or inducted from other ideas. However, it is not free to the idea that has no previous record from other previous ideas. For an instance, we have no free will to visualize how the 'vacuum Nothingness' originated. Whatever we do, we cannot choose any previous recorded experiences or ideas or combining them to know by visualization how the absolute 'Somethingness' and 'Nothingness' originated or have started. This proves that our 'free will' to visualize (imagine) is no effect in the origination of the absolute 'Somethingness' & 'Nothingness'. The same is true for moving a voluntary organ. Almost all people cannot move a muscle of their ears. however, by an ardent continuous trying to move it, a person can develop neural connection in the motor cortex, cingulate gyrus, and sensory for the moving of the ear's muscle. Another typical example, at first a boy does not know how to ride and run a bicycle, but by repetitious practice his kinesthetic & vestibular systemsafter forming neural connection in the cerebellum, one day he will learn how to run a bike.
READY TO BE CHOSEN
Our 'free will' can avail what is ready to be chosen. It is based on the fact that we can freely will to recall past events we have known; but if our replaying system in the brain does not find a clue or idea to 'open' (replay) a chosen recorded event, we cannot recall it. Whatever you do, for an instance, you cannot remember what had happened to you last 3 years, 2 months, 1 day & 18 hours ago unless (1) you were conscious aware during that time and (2) you've gotten an 'idea' or 'key' to replay the recorded experienced during that time. we cannot 'will' to recall what had happened to us when we were 11 months & 12 days 'old' unless we opened it by a clue or key.
In 1990, my close friend James went back to his native town, Bicol (Philippines), to live there.
Ten years after, a young man drew near to me and asked if I knew a certain 'Allan Poe Redoña'.
I was shocked, and pondering in my mind, and answered him by this question" "Why do you know Allan Redoña? Who are you? "
James said he was Allan Redoña's classmate during elementary. After that conversation, being confused, I went home thinking who was that 'James' and in what particular days that we became classmates. Whatever I did, I couldn't recall him - his face, his person, his relationship to me, and anything about him.
Until one day of pondering, I remembered another guy,Roel Yamba- a naughty classmate of mine- and by him I recalled that I had had trouble because Roel had threatened James. From that opening 'key' or clue, I remembered everything about James until I found out that James was, in fact, my very close friend.
This is an example of 'free will' to avail what is ready to be chosen and what is already learned or previously recorded.
HOW 'FREE WILL' STARTS IN THE BRAIN ?
Serotonergic, cholinergic, and adrenergic levels are already in the brain. Hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting, balancing, alluring, and replaying realizations are ready in the brain. What the watching Mind 'will' do is to 'switch on' what gets its (mind's) attention. Mind is automatically attracted on what gets its attention, and when attracted it attaches on that 'attention getter' - combining the Mind's charges and the synapses' charges, elevating the charges and attracting more enzyme and/or neurotransmitter there.
Mind is in the entire brain. since it is made of charges, this nas-Force (charges) will only affect or influence the charges of the enzyme or neurotransmitter in the nascentirapse.
The ability of Mind to 'focus' starts the 'free will' and the ability of Mind to move from one (or many regions) to another (or many places) gives this 'focus' possible.
We can easily understand 'focus' by comparing it to the dial of an ampere-meter. The dial points to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 (in which, 9 is the highest or the full focus) depending on the amount of charges that runs in the said meter's electromagnet. thus, the ratio between 'focus' and 'amount of charges' is equal. as the charges elevate, the 'focus' intensifies, too.
There is an automatic replay in the brain, that is, the On the Spot Replaying -or technically, the reuptaking of the neurotransmitters around the synapses. Synapses are a place where the nascentiraptic Force (charges) or mind starts to control molecules. Nas-Force from nascentirapse starts to change from serotonergic to cholinergic and to adrenergic level. This 'will' starts from within the nascentiraptic charges, from within the unified field master entities, from inside the tenderic charges, from within the Creator of the charges.

And yet, computer is too crude and simple as compared to the human brain.
Now, is the most complicated machine -i.e. human brain- an invention or not ? does it have a reason why it exists ? And does it have a purpose ?
Yes, human brain is the most complicated invention ever-ly invented, perfected through nature, and we can have it freely. And this invention is engineered not from big raw materials but from molecular ones -the DNA & RNA- which are a voluminous collection of nature's books or encyclopedias, complete with instructions, present and not present.
The Inventor of this invention is the One who invented nature or nature's materials. He did not use literal hands to invent nature's inventions but the do-not-appearing-things of His eternal power & Godhead. His active power to have 'nature' is but the light, which is made of quanta, which are composed of photons. These do not appearing things can make visible the created objects because all objects are made up of subatomic particles, which are absolutely composed of gamma photons, 'for whatever makes manifest is light' because 'all things that are exposed are manifest by light' . He 'is light and in Him is no darkness at all' and 'with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning'. He forms the light and creates darkness and, therefore, this Light is 'the Father of lights.' (cf. Ephesians 5:13, Hebrews 11:3, Romans 1:20; IJohn 1:5, James 1:17)
With the photons it can be possible to predetermine the formation of living things, simply because organic and inorganic chemicals -even the raw materials for living organisms- are created by the explosion of supernovaeone, nebulareone, or star. Amino acids -both the right & left handed- are naturally created by various means, one of which is by the fragments of star's (or sun's) planetisimal period of explosion.
" My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. your eyes saw my substance, being yet uniformed. and in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. how precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! " - Psalms 139:15-17 (NKJV)
Gaseous atoms and molecules are naturally created by converting the gamma photons into heavier and heavier subatomic particles, and rutherfically fusing and fissioning nucleons by the activities inside the star (e.g. our Sun). water is naturally created by burning hydrogen in the oxygen.
When the earth was created and hanged upon nothing in its circle or orbit, both dead and living DNA & RNA trembled because the power -destructive & constructive- which has word was uttered. (cf. Job 26:4-7) DNA molecules are natural replicating molecular machines, attracting protein molecules and producing enzymes.

The tendency would be, later or sooner, a pangea, panthalassa and air with a bountiful variety of organisms as DNA molecules were gun here and there as meteorological and geological activities fired those molecules from and to every place on the crust.

And as far as breath, physical constitution, and death are concerned, the estate of the sons of men are ANIMAL or beast. (cf. Ecclesiastes 3:18-21, 20, Psalms 139:15) The first male and female man were not rational -they didn't know 'good & evil' the way we know it today. It was in a certain part of Israel, in the location of the empire-sized Eden, that the first rational human beings had existed -and discovered by modern scientists. certain chemicals from certain plant enhanced the growth of brain cells into their full maturity - 10 or up to 120 years matured than monkey's, although brain's development is not dependent on that chemical enhancer.
Nonetheless, man , monkeys, animals, plants, all other creatures, and even our planet are come from the dust.
Monkey's or Orangutan's brain cells, even at the chronological age of 30 years, are as immature as 1 year or 2 years old human baby's brain cells. Dolphins and dogs have brain cells more matured than monkey's, but they don't have man's vocal cords and man's hands to easily prove the level of their rationality.

Continuous sound impulses passing in the auditory system may enter the anterior temporal lobe and pass the neurons there that facilitate the purposive & purposeful act, and then the medial surface's neurons that involved in the cognition of visual, audio, and apparently tactile (touch), and then neurons in region near the uncus area that will branch into the neurons of thalamus.
Another way to control a voluntary organ, the tactile conscious Mind in the parietal sensory brain cells must send impulses into the thalamus' ventralis posterior (VP), which may branch into the lateral ventral nucleus (NLV) and to the anterior nucleus (AN) of the thalamus. The AN neurons will then branch the impulses into the anterior cingulate gyrus. Anterior cingulate motor neurons are primarily involved in the junction between the tactile conscious Mind and switching on of the motor voluntary organs. Once (tactile) conscious Mind try to move an organ, the anterior cingulate neurons or the lateral ventral nucleus (NLV) neurons will elevate their level from serotonergic to cholinergic.
FREE WILL
"Free will" is a form of reflex. It operates by replaying (asking) previous recorded experiences or combining recorded experiences or ideas to form a new one. To choose what to visualize or imagine is a 'free will' act based on the replays of recorded infos or deducted or inducted from other ideas. However, it is not free to the idea that has no previous record from other previous ideas. For an instance, we have no free will to visualize how the 'vacuum Nothingness' originated. Whatever we do, we cannot choose any previous recorded experiences or ideas or combining them to know by visualization how the absolute 'Somethingness' and 'Nothingness' originated or have started. This proves that our 'free will' to visualize (imagine) is no effect in the origination of the absolute 'Somethingness' & 'Nothingness'. The same is true for moving a voluntary organ. Almost all people cannot move a muscle of their ears. however, by an ardent continuous trying to move it, a person can develop neural connection in the motor cortex, cingulate gyrus, and sensory for the moving of the ear's muscle. Another typical example, at first a boy does not know how to ride and run a bicycle, but by repetitious practice his kinesthetic & vestibular systemsafter forming neural connection in the cerebellum, one day he will learn how to run a bike.
READY TO BE CHOSEN
Our 'free will' can avail what is ready to be chosen. It is based on the fact that we can freely will to recall past events we have known; but if our replaying system in the brain does not find a clue or idea to 'open' (replay) a chosen recorded event, we cannot recall it. Whatever you do, for an instance, you cannot remember what had happened to you last 3 years, 2 months, 1 day & 18 hours ago unless (1) you were conscious aware during that time and (2) you've gotten an 'idea' or 'key' to replay the recorded experienced during that time. we cannot 'will' to recall what had happened to us when we were 11 months & 12 days 'old' unless we opened it by a clue or key.
In 1990, my close friend James went back to his native town, Bicol (Philippines), to live there.
Ten years after, a young man drew near to me and asked if I knew a certain 'Allan Poe Redoña'.
I was shocked, and pondering in my mind, and answered him by this question" "Why do you know Allan Redoña? Who are you? "
James said he was Allan Redoña's classmate during elementary. After that conversation, being confused, I went home thinking who was that 'James' and in what particular days that we became classmates. Whatever I did, I couldn't recall him - his face, his person, his relationship to me, and anything about him.
Until one day of pondering, I remembered another guy,Roel Yamba- a naughty classmate of mine- and by him I recalled that I had had trouble because Roel had threatened James. From that opening 'key' or clue, I remembered everything about James until I found out that James was, in fact, my very close friend.
This is an example of 'free will' to avail what is ready to be chosen and what is already learned or previously recorded.
HOW 'FREE WILL' STARTS IN THE BRAIN ?
Serotonergic, cholinergic, and adrenergic levels are already in the brain. Hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting, balancing, alluring, and replaying realizations are ready in the brain. What the watching Mind 'will' do is to 'switch on' what gets its (mind's) attention. Mind is automatically attracted on what gets its attention, and when attracted it attaches on that 'attention getter' - combining the Mind's charges and the synapses' charges, elevating the charges and attracting more enzyme and/or neurotransmitter there.
Mind is in the entire brain. since it is made of charges, this nas-Force (charges) will only affect or influence the charges of the enzyme or neurotransmitter in the nascentirapse.
The ability of Mind to 'focus' starts the 'free will' and the ability of Mind to move from one (or many regions) to another (or many places) gives this 'focus' possible.
We can easily understand 'focus' by comparing it to the dial of an ampere-meter. The dial points to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 (in which, 9 is the highest or the full focus) depending on the amount of charges that runs in the said meter's electromagnet. thus, the ratio between 'focus' and 'amount of charges' is equal. as the charges elevate, the 'focus' intensifies, too.
There is an automatic replay in the brain, that is, the On the Spot Replaying -or technically, the reuptaking of the neurotransmitters around the synapses. Synapses are a place where the nascentiraptic Force (charges) or mind starts to control molecules. Nas-Force from nascentirapse starts to change from serotonergic to cholinergic and to adrenergic level. This 'will' starts from within the nascentiraptic charges, from within the unified field master entities, from inside the tenderic charges, from within the Creator of the charges.
