Mind vs Brain

escapism
Edward de Bono & others talk about Mind as a different thing to brain. A nice quote is ‘Minds are what Brains do’ & while we can MRI brains to see what parts get activated in a range of events, what we can’t seem to find is where the actual memories are stored.
But if memory is a construct held within a holographic field that is formed by the cellular activity of the brain, it opens up the field for a lot of new approaches to how we work.
The universe is huge and tiny, a complexity that has occupied the best minds for entire lives. But the universe is, at base, information. In this universe, the densest level of information is at the event horizon - and the event horizon is described by area, not volume ie. 2D not 3D.
So, while Science is important, to me so too is spirituality. Please, nobody respond with religious arguments or accusations. By spirituality I mean finding out about the part of us that doesn’t (so far) admit to investigation using the tools of science. Psychology is behavioural. Psychiatry is modifying behaviour, (usually with drugs) but if psychology had answers, we would be in a better society, we’d be able to tell which of our children are going to take a gun into a school, and the wholesale escapism of society into alcohol, drugs, religion and rage would be getting dealt with as it happens.
