<well please help bring me more into clearer focus then by demonstrating the mind experiment you are performing yourself that i can walk thru it with you and see as as the blind man saw .... and while your OBE'ing into the great Unity > LOL... you really haven't been following along have you. No one claimed any experiements had EVER been conducted on any anecdotes or ideas surrounding the 'mind body problem'. That does not mean that the mind body problem or any related ideas, anecdotes, or hypothesis are proved false or true. We've also been discussing how non-linear problems, systems, or phenomena wouldn't be expected to be able to be proven true using standard (linear) scientific experiments. <The idea of stored information/ideas having origin with previous evolutionary occurance / DNA inheritance could clearly be demonstrated with the pancreas . Insulin is the knowledge/information of sugar metabolism and it exists the same for the cow , pig & even fish and certain microbes so is vital piece of stored information in chemical form that traces back some many many millions of years . The good books did not tell us this , science did .> Yes, that's self evident, which is why his assertion appears to have tried to obviate the mind body problem, something science just hasn't done yet. He MAY thought has was arguing against minds flying around the planet with bodies no where in sight, BUT that was not the assertion he responded to: <<There is a great deal of evidence to non-physical mind > <The question of mind /body interdependence or the existence of ideas that are stored "someplace in the eternal ether" and can be divined in some fashion transcending the physical from some "other" source and mechanism , is a debate that did not start here > Exactly... and to wave it away with a gesture of the hand would be foolish. As to "OTHER source and mechanism", we'll you'll have to lead the way there... I'll stick with my own brain, and my own mind and it's own "mind body problem" to start. :)) DAK
