Your brain on dimensions?

[PlasmaAstralProjection]

 I have had this idea that the conscious and subconscious work with the different brain regions according to what the brain does. Even for our normal everyday brain function is in other dimensions. Of course all through consciousness. Any thoughts on this fascinating idea.

In my opinion, your physical brain is only here to control the bio-mechanical workings of your physical body.

The subconscious is an area set aside for your own consciousness.  This is completely separate from the physical body.

At least, that's how I see it.

I'm not sure if that answered your query though.  LoL

I think I sorta get what you mean, sort of like our physical brain/body is only one representation of the several states that may be, but our physical brain and body is just one representation of one thing, and all the different representations (physical, astral, unknown physical and nonphysical dimensions) are really the same thing. So you could say our brain is operating on many different dimensions but we only percieve it "physically" as our main focus of counciousness is here. Sorry if I didnt explain that well, does anyone sorta get what Im saying? Basically trying to say that perhaps you only have one body, and it is your perception of the one universe that changes which "body" you feel like you're in, so yes, I would say your brain could be operating on many different realities or dimensions, in theory of course.

 Exactly cpt. picard. A good example is that when someone is on a mind altering substance they can have out of this world sex. There is for instance tantra sex that can give you a mystical spiritual type experience. All while you are still in the body. You see. You can take LSD and be in a room and see the dimensions mix by looking at all the different colors and feeling all the emotions and so on. All from a physical substance.

I always try to think outside of the box.

[cpt. picard]

Yes I agree with that. If you take LSD, one might say you're not really hallucinating, but rather experiencing reality from a different perspective. It is not the universe changing, only how you're percieving it. One might also say your body is not changing either in "dimensional travel". It could just be your perception of the same universe changing everything.

 Now for instance lets say that you where a good visualizer and you visualized a lot of the same things that you read about others being on LSD. What's to say that that your ability to visualize the same thing that the people on LSD saw is not using at least 1 or 2 of the same dimensions to get the effect. I have never tried LSD but I can close my eyes and come up with some pretty far out visuals. Maybe they are not as clear but they are there.

I just read in the table of contents of "The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life By Chopra, Deepak" So the chapter says. "You live in multidimensions". I'm going to get this book and see if it really means what it says. Thus proving my theory.

People...



The right hemisphere concerns our unconscious. The left concerns our conscious. Also, have a look at what happens to people whose corpus callosum is severed. Both hemispheres act as two independent brains and the left isn't aware of what the right one is doing and vice versa.

a computer is a machine. you are a machine.

I was reading about some experiments a researcher named Gazzaniga was performing, and amazingly I found something on youtube.  Esentially he demonstrated that one side of the brain is the subconscious and the other side (the side with the speech and talking areas) are the conscious side.

However, something that is not in the video (but was in some of the studies) is that some of the research subjects, when their conscious side was blocked, had short-term precog experiences, showing that perhaps the subconscious side has access to nonlocal information.  This doesn't mean necessarily that our mind is outside our brain, but it could- so maybe we are more than sophisticated robots.

No.

^^I guess you want me to elaborate. Ok. It's very simple. We are not machines. We're much more than that. We're sentient beings. A machine does not think. I wouldn't even say we are our physical bodies. To me the body and brain is just the tool and a form of expression in nature. We, the real we, are something else.

Intrinsic awareness. Conscious. Pure. Like a blank channel. Experience is the film. And the film has no sound until we add sound to it. The sound here represents meaning. Yes, Tom & Jerry need jazz music to go with it. Otherwise the film loses life. It is our job to give sound to the film. That's our purpose for a fuller experience. I just thought of this today. So, you see...

We are much more than machines. Machines don't have the blank channel nor the sound. They only have the film they play. And this film is very limited in its program compared to ours.

Brain is just an idea. As is your entire opinion, and the condition from which it was constructed.

The subconscious is an area set aside for your own consciousness.  This is completely separate from the physical body.

OK you go from openly sharing an OPINION to swiftly falling into making a statement, but giving it the subtle illusion it is 'the truth of things' when *really* it's just _more_ opinion.

At least, that's how I see it.

Mate you're REALLY in your head. BIG TIME. I mean these are abstract ideas, splinters of interperations based on prior interperations that have been regurgitated.

Time to toss these ideas out of your head bro. Seriously you're missing this whole thing all together basically.

Every time I see this thread title I see fried eggs connected to other fried eggs with lines in what can be described as a "flower of life" configuration.

I read in Astral Projection and the Nature of Our Reality that when we AP, it is not an actual 'body' leaving our physical body as many think. It's just that your primary consciousness is being shifted or "projected" to another dimension.  Implying that our brain does in fact exist in all realms simultaneously, but the realm that you are "in" depends solely on which one has your attention at the time.  Pulling information from Astral Dynamics, it is possible to have your attention in multiple dimensions at one time, which explains the sense of duality that some projectors have, i.e. having 2 totally unrelated set of memories and experiences for a single time period.

So in my opinion (which is largely shaped by the materials that I read/things that I study) there are no separate "bodies" there are only separate levels of consciousness.  Astral Projection is simply the projection of your awareness to a dimension other than the one you are "native to".

[Xanth]

Not your "brain"... your "brain" is a chunk of physical matter meat in your head.
Your "Consciousness"... the energy that is your TRUE SELF, is what they're suggesting exists simultaneously here and *everywhere*. 

[Summerlander]

I was about to say that!^^

[Pharoah]

My "BRAIN" forgot to exist in the semantics realm just then.

[Summerlander]

Actually, it is also believed that every cell in the human body does the thinking, not just the ones in the brain. But there is no trace of memories or thought there whatsoever. Perhaps the flow of thoughts runs through the physical bodies... just a thought. Or perhaps the brain really does think and we are just the empty awareness clinging onto them for the sake of meaning, purpose, experience blah blah blah who the bonk knows I'm bonking tired...LOL

[Pauli2]

nonsense

[Summerlander]

Yep...we live in a nonsensical world.

[Xanth]

nonsense

Nonsense?

What makes you outright say it's nonsense?

I mean, to say that, you obviously have proof to the contrary, right?

YOU'RE NONSENSE!

Hey Pharoah, do me a favour... if I asked you to please point to your consciousness... where exactly would you point to?
