Embodied or Not Embodied?
So far, I’ve talked about a fibre system that sends very fast impulses around the body. I’ve also mentioned in passing a system which, looking at structure, seems to mimic the functions of a computer chip array – it can process and store information, and it also links into every cell in the body.
What we are talking about is a system that can be used to send data to every cell and receive responses back very rapidly.
But this isn’t the end of the puzzles being brought forward because of amazing advances in the technology. There is evidence from organ and other transplants to suggest that dead peoples’ personalities can somehow be transferred along with the limb or organ.
There are documented cases of traits that were known to be fundamental to the now-dead donor and alien to the recipient, being found in the life of the recipient. They can be as ephemeral as a change in taste for art or as radical as a sudden interest in something very much out of the ordinary.
This is something else the ‘we are only physical’ people have a problem with – there is nothing in their lexicon that can define a method by which a dead person could be influencing a living person they have neither met nor heard of – in either direction!
Add to this the fact we cannot find the decision cell and we are facing a major mystery – what is Man that we can make decisions without a physical mechanism, and that we can forward on traits and quirks that are very much associated with personality and mentality, via an organ or limb?
