When I first wrote the article, it was not intended for a blog. Having posted it here, I realised that it was rather long for a blog read. So I have split it into 3 parts. Today, I'll share the first bit from the 2nd part.
Those who read the first part to the end would have seen the link to the second part so you don't have to wait for my blog post. Read at your own pace.
The second part begins like this:
Additional to cellular intelligence, we have another layer of intelligence based in our brains that governs the entire organism. That intelligence has been observed and classified by science. For our convenience, we can consider a 3-layer structure of the mind:
- memory, where incoming information as well as ideas about how to process that information are saved;
- intellect, which processes the stored information using the processing algorithms also stored in the memory;
- ego, which defines the character and behaviour of the person.
These 3 layers reside in the brain.
For those who hold that this earthly life is all there is, those 3 layers of the mind are sufficient. For those who feel there is something more, another layer is speculated, undetected by current science but, arguably, corroborated by some unexplained phenomena. I’m not setting out to prove the existence of this layer but am simply presenting it as part of the system as I understand it.
