How many GODS do you have?

[Arik]

If brains are not the source of conscience, why does even the head bit matter? People brake these with their hands too, don't they? And with al matter of objects.

Surely the brain is not the source of the conscience but because the consciousness reside in the brain and more exactly in the pineal gland the two in a way become one.
A bit like when you travel in your vehicle so you and the vehicle become one that is why everything matter.

Good point.

A lot of people ignore that the seeds originate from the same tree of life.

A good summary of Yoga history ... aka the sum of Indian experience ...

You are 100% correct.
Thanks for telling us.

The correction was needed.  I was laughing too loud at home about "brakes".

But that makes me wonder.  If the spelling was a non-English-first-language thing, I do apologize.  It wasn't meant as an insult.  I made an assumption that may have been wrong.

Not just that, but American spelling isn't the only English ... the English spell differently, and that Indian English is different yet.

Do you confuse "breaks" with "brakes?  Just asking.

Are you Funk, or Wagnal?  Who made you the grammar Nazi?  There is more than one spelling of words, in World English.  This was potentially the case.  Or a simple error.  Either way, you show what a demi-god you are ;-)

[Mr.Obvious]

What is this with "brake".  It's "break"!

my bad

But it also resides in the rest of the body? I mean, plants don't have pineal glands. We've already established to dissagree if plants are conscious or not, but you believe they are, don't you?

Also, we've been using 'conscience' where I think we should have been using 'consciousness' for a while now.
Noticed it after Cavebear pointed out the 'Break' 'brake' thingamajig.

Conciousness is tricky.  Plants react to insect attacks, and seem to warn other plants.  But in the human sense, no, plants are not concious. as we understand it.

I agree, it's what I also told rikki. Plant perception is a thing, but it is not actual consciousness as we say in day to day meaning.

Yes.  And I do try to distinguish between plant and animal conciousness.  But the more I read about plant studies, the more I wonder.  I suspect it is all just a matter of degree.

I could claim the same for most voters ;-)

Not a Trump supporter.  Just not an Orange Man Bad psychopath.  There is no such thing as morality.  Therefore all politicians are equally innocent/guilty.

You might not suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, but you have all the hallmarks of a moral relativist.
