27. What is a Difference between Lifeless and Animated Matter?
• There are two aspects of life. When we perceive something as ‘substance’ it is in reality something “living” from “THE ASPECT OF SUBSTANCE”. When we perceive something as alive it is, in reality, the substance we see from “THE ASPECT OF LIFE”. The ability to feel life from “THE ASPECT OF SUBSTANCE” have PRIMITIVE stages of development. The ability to SENSE The Substance from “THE ASPECT OF LIFE” have beings on the threshold of “The Great Birth”.
• ‘Lifeless’ matter & living matter are EQUALLY ALIVE. The only difference is in a ‘TYPE’ of CONSCIOUSNESS which is bound to / reincarnates in the matter. ‘Lifeless matter’ functions governed by Habitual Consciousness only, while ‘animated’ matter functions in both “Habitual” & “Day-Consciousness” Modes. ‘ORGANIC’ MATTER ARISES WHEN ‘RADIANT’ – MENTAL ENERGY /Consciousness CONNECTS WITH ‘lifeless’ matter in any of its forms (solid, liquid, gaseous). Such connection makes matter visibly altered and independently working.
• Matter is considered as ‘animated’ IF shows INDEPENDENCE, IF has the ability of REPRODUCING, and IF DOES NOT AGE IMMEDIATELY, but RESIST THE PROCESS for a while, and starts to age after the culmination of growth. Plant and animal substances have a certain period where triumphantly resist the "tooth of time". (The

How? The energies of longing - for the existence in the physical reality - from the "beings in bliss" are transmitted to the spiral 's first three basic energies - "instinct", "gravity" & "feeling". First, the energies come into contact with "instinct-energy", which has already reached the second stage of its increasing trend. The combination of these two energies contacts "gravity-energy" - only at the initial stage of increasing. Then a multitude of powerful reactions or forms of energy ARE SET UP known under a notion

    The Mind-Body Problem is the argument surrounding questions such as: “How does the mind relate to the body (brain)? Are they—the mind and the brain—separate? Does the mind even exist, or is there really just the brain? If both exist, how do they interact? If not, how does one explain certain mental states without the mind?”.…

    And were all my perceptions removed by death, and coued (sic) I neither think, nor feel, not see, nor love, nor hate after the dissolution of my body, I should be entirely annihilated, not do I conceive what is farther requisite to make me a perfect non-entity, (Hume). Therefore, according to Hume, the absence of perception is the absence of being. Now, while both persons have thought provoking ideas, there is a divide between the two that must be addressed. First of all, is the identity of self must be discussed.…

    Kelsey's Life

    Having formally sketched the ultimate and proximate settings in which human life is organized in 4A and 5A, in chapter 6, “To Be and Have a Living Body: Meditation on Job 10,” David Kelsey begins to address what human beings are. Kelsey argues that Job’s story of his own “having been born” (Job 10) narrates an account of his birth in two entwined, but distinct ways. These two ways of telling the story of his birth “also tell the story of the birth of every human person” (242). Job’s particular and subtle double-telling of his birth provides resources for a general articulation of two lines of human creatureliness. The source of Kelsey’s constructive claims are situated in Job’s “contest about wisdom” (241-245).…

    In this paper I will be explaining and evaluating Argument 2, on page 36 of Jaegwon Kim's Philosophy of Mind, which supports Cartesian substance dualism. This argument, which I call the argument of transparency, attempts to support the first major tenant of Cartesian substance dualism: There are substances of two fundamentally different kinds in the world, mental substances and material substances—or minds and bodies. The essential nature of a mind is to think, be conscious, and engage in other mental activities; the essence of a body is to have spatial extensions (a bulk) and be located in space. (Kim 34)…

    Dolegui Wilfried Nanfack PHIL 2101-(ET6) For this paper, I’ll be talking about Descartes’s argument for dualism in the “sixth Meditation” and “multiple personalities”. Descartes, both as a philosopher and scientist, is at two levels of understanding of the real. It’s back to nature in a mechanistic framework to which the body is subjected, and at the same time, it supports a dualism of soul and body in which the soul escapes the body determinations. In his sixth Meditation the author methodically describes the characters that are unique to the soul and the body and raises the contradictions that result from their union. In addition, it plays a fundamental role in the game of passion that bases all of his moral theory.…

    Walking into the Church of Scientology I had a vague idea of what was about to happen and what they’re all about, but I don’t think I was mentally prepared for what I was walking into. I know that Scientology isn’t really the ideal candidate for this paper because they’re so secretive about their beliefs, but I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to go and check out this mysterious religion. Now if I’m being completely honest, before my visit, everything I knew about Scientology I had learned from an episode of South Park, and some casual Wikipedia browsing. But even with what little knowledge I had about this church, I knew that I was in for quite the experience.…

    It would seem unimaginable that in time God would resurrect all persons who have passed to their original bodily form. That those who were cremated and their ashes spread in the ocean or on earth would be restored by God’s will. Like most people, I’ve experienced loss of a loved one, my mother who was cremated and her ashes spread in Rocky Mountain National Park, her request while living. Linda Badham’s realistic approach of resurrection and the problems associated with life after death brought about a sense of fear and dread within me. Linda Badham brings to light, how unlikely is it that our various atoms would come together to reconstruct our original human form (Peterson, et al., Philosophy of Religion, p.507)?…

    Dualism Vs Physicalism

    The view of physicalism gives a stronger and more plausible answer to the mind-body problem. There are several reasons why this particular view gives a more sensible for answer to the problem at hand. These reasons include the rationale behind the reasoning of brain research, how the different aspects of reductive physicalism is able to address the non-physical aspects of the mind, as well as the less than sensible claims that the opposing view, dualism, presents in comparison. One of the main reasons why physicalism is able to prove itself to be the better answer to the mind-body problem is based off of research that society has learned about on the brain.…

    Aristotle takes it that bodies (more specifically, natural bodies), which are taken to have life in them, are generally considered substances (Aristotle 412a12-14). More strictly speaking, a body that has life in it is a substance in the third sense—they body is a compound (Aristotle 412a15). Here one might immediately question how or why it is that Aristotle’s distinction between substance as matter and form, and even more so how potentiality and actuality could apply to body and soul, in order to characterize living beings as the third composite understanding of substance. Granted, one the face of it, the application seems a bit implausible.…

    In Intellect:Mind over Matter, Mortimer Adler probes the relationship between the mind and the body. He describes the four main theories regarding this relationship and separates them into two categories: extreme and moderate. Among the four theories, Adler argues in favor of moderate immaterialism. His argument is easily the most convincing as it accounts for the essential difference between man and animal, our intellect, while acknowledging the congruity between the mind and body.…

    Animation and live action are two very different types of films, each kept in a different world and rarely cross over into the other. Cartoons and the animated characters that are crafted for them live in a world that defies logic, normal limitations, and have their own physical laws; it is a world only limited by the imagination of the artists and their tools. The real world, one that people are more familiar with, knows the restrictions and limited possibilities of what a person can do in this physical realm. These two worlds colliding into one seems nearly impossible, almost like a dream. Yet, films have taken a step into this fusion, trying to work animated characters into a real world.…
