ANOTHER
STORY EMPLOYED
TO JUSTIFY HUMAN SUPERIORITY
SAYS THAT OF ALL THE ANIMALS ON EARTH,
ONLY HOMO SAPIENS HAS
A CONSCIOUS MIND?
Mind is something very different from soul!
The mind isn't some mystical eternal entity...
Nor is it an organ such as the eye or the brain.
Rather, the mind is a flow of subjective experiences,
such as pain, pleasure, anger and love. These mental experiences
are made of interlinked sensations, emotions and thoughts, which flash for a brief moment,
and immediately disappear? Thèn other experiences flicker and vanish, arising for an instant
and passing away! (When reflecting on it, we often try to sort the experiences into distinct categories
such as sensations, emotions and thoughts, but in actuality
they are all mingled together.)
This frenzied collection of experiences
constitutes the stream of consciousness. Unlike the everlasting soul, the mind has many parts,
it constantly changes, and there is no reason to think it is eternal?! The soul is a story that some people accept
while others reject......
The stream of consciousness, in contrast,
is the concrete reality we directly witness every moment.
It is the surest thing in the world.....
You CÀNNOT doubt it's existence? Even when we are consumed by doubt and ask ourselves:
'DO SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCES REALLY EXIST?'
we can be certain that we
are experiencing
doubt...
