In my writings I have endeavored to make a compelling case for dualist interaction between the immaterial mind, including the Mind of God, and the components of the material brain. I am including a very interesting post from Burke’s book that speaks to the increasing recognition of mind-matter interaction.
“Science used to think of matter as solid, but we now know the tiny atoms that make up matter are more like invisible waves [I have presented numerous posts that address wave forms and how they may interact with our neural synaptic networks], more mind-like than particle-like. In fact, atoms are 99.999 percent empty space. Cambridge and Princeton physicist James Jeans wrote, ‘the stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter; we ought rather hail it as the governor of the realm of matter.’”
In my books and blogs I have pointed out that information comes only from a mind. The Mind of God is the ultimate Source of ALL information that has been instantiated into and sustains His creations with specification, that is with meaning and purpose and structure. Such information is transmitted within codes, linguistic codes in the case of neural spike trains of action potentials which are learned over a lifetime, interpreted by the human mind and archived in memory. So the comments of James Jeans are relevant to this reality, that the Mind of God governs the realm of matter, and the human mind/soul governs the transmission of specified information through the brain’s neural synaptic networks to express movement, ideas, will and the interpretation of sensory input. No, the universe is not thought per se, but thought of a Mind has been actualized within its very structure, meaning and purpose.
