VICTOR J ZAMMIT: The Mind/Brain Debate
in the Age of Science
The mind/brain debate has been going for more than twenty
centuries. Historically, it is one of the most important
debates ever. Plato and Socrates in the classical age of
Greece and Descartes before the Age of Enlightenment in
Europe, promoted and accepted the duality of mind and brain.
As a psychic investigator, I state in absolute terms that
there is overwhelming objective evidence that the physical
brain is not the mind. The physical brain dies when the
physical body dies, but the mind survives physical death.To-day,
without any objective evidence, materialists claim
that mind and brain are the same thing.
My objective evidence for a separate MIND is to be found
in the TWENTY THREE different areas for the evidence of
the afterlife in my book on the Internet (see below). The
evidence for survival can be used for to show the separate
existence of the mind and brain before and after physical
death. And equally the existence of mind separate from the
brain is evidence for life after death.
Empirical research –admissible evidence - has shown
that whereas the physical brain is destroyed at the moment
of death the mind continues to survive.
The mind is pure vibrating energy and:
• is the element which removes time and space in the
afterlife,
• conducts 'thoughts' faster than the speed of light,
• retains all experiences whether consciously accessed
or not,
• includes the subtle bodies attached to the main
duplicate physical body,
• can create 'substance' in different dimensions,
• includes the aura which is the energy being projected
from the body,
• is like a television station: it can send and receive
vibrations by way of sound and pictures – AND feelings,
• has the capacity to read other minds - telepathy,
• has the capacity to move solid objects and levitate
objects and humans,
• has the capacity to decrease and increase its body's
vibrations - materialisations and dematerialisations,
• has the capacity to initiate, direct and target
positive and negative energy towards inanimate objects and
to living things, including human beings,
• has the capacity to heal another mind, body and
spirit,
• can transfer the 'etheric body' from one place to
another faster than the speed of light,
• has no beginning, no end in the afterlife dimensions,
• is eternal because it is part of the 'Universal
Cosmic Mind' - or as others see it is as a 'spark' of the
Divine,
• has enormous power we on earth have not really envisaged.
The MIND can be seen as the driver of a motor car and the
BRAIN as the car itself. The brain obeys the mind. The mind
gives direction and continues to accumulate all the experiences.
When the car rusts and 'dies', the driver MIND lives on.
Not all minds are equal in development. Some minds are more
powerful and more developed than others. A superior mind
can influence and manipulate inferior, less evolved minds
- even from great physical distance. However even if it
takes aeons of time, each mind will continue to refine and
become stronger and more powerful in the afterlife.
MIND - the ultimate frontier
Scientists have conducted and are conducting critical research
into psychic phenomena and the afterlife. Some of the most
brilliant and important scientists who ever lived on this
earth have used and are using their skills as scientists
to show that the afterlife - and hence the mind - exist.
Whilst materialists and closed minded skeptics try to attack
or ignore the objective evidence for psychic phenomena and
the afterlife, the fact of the matter is that NO materialist,
no closed minded skeptic, no scientist, no negatively minded
psychologist has ever rebutted the evidence for the afterlife
- and for the existence of the mind.
Since psychic phenomena such as mediumship, Out of Body
Experiences, Near Death Experiences, Remote Viewing, Materialisations,
Proxy Sittings, Poltergeists, Electronic Voice Phenomena,
Instrumental Transcommunication have been and are producing
positive results, then it inevitably follows that the same
evidence can be used for supporting the separation of the
MIND and the BRAIN.
Those materialist psychologists who have been saying that
the mind does not exist have NOT rebutted the objective
and other evidence for psi and the afterlife. They claim
that all psychic/spiritual experiences emanate from the
‘limbic system’ within the brain – (see
for example Chapter 18 of my book on Near Death Experiences).
When quality mediumship such as John Edward’s
is being demonstrated on television those from the other
side sending messages are using their mind and not the brain.
Currently research is being done but initial results from
just five shows show that the information John Edward is
obtaining during his television shows CROSSING OVER cannot
come by chance: conservatively, the mathematical probability
is MORE than 2,000,000 to 1 and if all shows are considered
during the one year the mathematical probability will be
astronomical – significantly more than twenty times
the odds stated. Translated this means it is NOT possible
the information is being obtained by chance - it is the
mind which is providing the information.
Since the brains of those who crossed over no longer exist,
having been destroyed when they physically died, it follows
then, that it is the MIND of these individuals which is
sending messages to their loved ones on earth.
Similarly it is the mind which is operational when the
person’s brain is unconscious or clinically dead and
the person has vivid memories of an out of body experience
or a near death experience. As Dr Peter Fenwick
(from the United Kingdom - an internationally
renowned neuropsychiatrist and a Fellow of the Royal College
of Psychiatrists), Dr Willem Van Lommel
(cardiologist from Holland) and Dr
Kenneth Ring (empiricist NDE’s United
States) pointed out, how can the materialists explain
a person whose brain is 'flatlining' on an EEG being able
to describe in vivid detail what had been happening in the
operating theatre after he was clinically dead? Clearly,
Dr Fenwick and others are stating that
when science is being used to show that the brain is technically
dead, it is the MIND which is observing and remembering
what is going on in the operating theatre AND in other nearby
rooms. And this is only a fraction of the evidence
available by cardiologists and psi researchers.
Until the evidence for the afterlife is rebutted –
the evidence for the separation of the MIND and BRAIN will
continue to be valid. But the evidence over the last five
years is showing that more scientists, more researchers
and more people from around the world are now supporting
the afterlife and no doubt the MIND/BRAIN separation will
inexorably be accepted as mainstream knowledge in the near
future.
