So Much is Nonmaterial

 Much of life is nonmaterial. What do I mean? Let's look at it from several angles.

I heard a lecture by a neuroscientist who was talking about the mind/soul using the brain as a receiver, rather like a radio receiving and not creating the sounds we hear. If all of the stations played at once, we would not be able to hear any of them. The brain tunes into what helps keep the body working and the practical things of our lives working.

We probably don't think a lot about the nonmaterial. Think of a number, say 20. It has no materiality. We cannot say 20 is in Los Angeles, weighs 5 pounds, and is purple. Nevertheless, 20, as are  all numbers, is a useful idea

Feelings are nonmaterial. Love is real, yet it cannot be physically located, and its characteristics cannot be described materially.

Much of our lives deals with the nonmaterial, it seems to me,

Now neurologists are studying the nonmaterial mind/soul and its use of the material brain, a meat sack, some say. Some of the research deals with the study of near-death experiences, NDEs, both current and across thousands of years in every culture.

If you have not explored this, I encourage you to do so. It is exciting.
