Idealist, Fiute, Hegal, Bradley, Boragell, Royee hold. No two different reality but one universal mind spirit. .
· Nyaya consciousness is enjoyer associated with body and admits earth atoms which constitutes gross body.
Socrates - Soul is eternal, non-material, non-perishable, non-divisible, immortal, invisible & earthly stuff material body is house of divine self. . .Mind is soul essence & is equivalent to the brain or body. What is the evidence, that mind survives death? Charles Tart said, "consciousness may survive but no I who is conscious".
Materialist reduce mind to brain & see the death of brain as the end of mind
Scientist position is same as materialist. Life equals biology. Mind equals biology. Your thought feelings, hopes fears are all electro chemical reaction in the brain.
Your brain turn into mash after you die leaving no more thoughts, feeling so why worry survival? Materialist marvelously rejects the chance of going to hell on rejection of soul there is no after life rebirth or previous birth so they are not worrying about hell. This does not mean you are free to do any wrong to any one. For wrong doings you have to compesate in the same life there no need to repay your good or bad doings you should born again.
Rule of science is account of all data, experience information facts gather about something is mind is more than brain. Mind is master of body. Mind functions, survives, grows on received information by the senses infinite capacity & craving for knowledge translates the ideas into action through body co-ordinate with each other, interact with each other & intimately interconnected through nervous system. This relationship is amazing. Survival & progress depends on interaction of reasoning powers in balanced responsive constructive & social behaviour.
The regression pushes down towards ghastly beastial attributes, like cunningness, violence ferocity progress is by good conduct, love fraternity, kind & compensate expression & emotions guiding towards better learning & use.
Human brain is not largest size is not what imparts it the unique intelligence but much greater complexity of neurons makes man superior & powerful & intricate to any other brain in animal kingdom. Man differs from animal in versatility in communication due to highly developed vocal organs ability to think & conscience. He is conscious of his own existence thoughts feeling, dreams emotions ideas imaginations. Human has capacity to communicate with clarity. Human mind absorbs all
