Some interesting things to contemplate

[I Have A Dream]

I saw a post on another forum that I visit and thought that this was information that this group would enjoy reading. It doesn't have lots of details (because it is from notes from a presentation that someone attended), but the questions are very thought-provoking, in my opinion.

Is your mind in your body?
According to UCLA Professor Emeritus Valerie Hunt, the answer is no. She's been measuring the human image/energy field in her lab since 1972. In one test, she hooked up the monitors to check heart rate, respiratory rate, etc, etc, and then proceeded to tickle the subject's aura with a feather. This tickling elicited a response on all those fields being measured. Dr. Hunt says this shows that mind is not confined to the body.

How many minds are there?
Erwin Schroedinger, a noted physicist, investigated metaphysical topics in his later years, and ordered that a book on the subject be published posthumosly. Here's a quote from that book:
"I have come to the conclusion that the total number of 'minds' in the universe is one."

Can mind effect the chemical reactions taking place in one's body?
There have been studies conducted with multiple personality subjects that seems to indicate this is so. In one case, the subject was diabetic when in one personality, but not diabetic in another. In another case, the subject was deathly allergic to oranges in one personality, while oranges didn't effect another personality. In both cases, blood was drawn when the subjects were in different personalities, and the bloodwork showed that, indeed, what the doctors were observing was really happening!

Can the mind and emotions effect the growth and change of cells?
According to Candace Pert in her book "Molecules of Emotion", they certainly can! In fact, they have found that when a person displays a certain emotion, more receptors for the metabolic changes caused by that emotion are created.

Does mind defy the laws of science?
A fellow named Teller thinks so, and has reformulated the Einstein theories, and here's why: entanglement. What is entanglement? When 2 subatomic particles that have been in contact are seperated, and one of the particles is changed (such as magnetically changing the spin to the opposite direction), the other one instantly changes to the same degree, no matter how far apart they are-and it happens faster than the speed of light.

2. Thanks.

This validates sort of what I think. I believe our physical selves inhabit another dimension that our physical selves can't experience with our eyes, ears, touch, taste and smell. Sometimes we sense it though. It doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. When we die I believe we shed our organic bodies but remain in that dimension that our mind has occupied along with our bodies.
