  God resides in the consciousness of an individual. in fact GOD is this consciousness.
  
  All posseses this knowing, though not all are able to fully understand the concept....
  This is because of how they see themselves,
  
  But since only Truth can Show men their identity, which is beyond this world, not many will find it.
  
  For their present identity will stand in the way of Truth.

  No, the brain is not needed for the consciousness to exist actually Consciousness preceded any physical thing.
  
  The brain actually divides the consciousness so that we are not able to "see" clearly.
  Thus our physical existence will be of primary importance to us....but for a While(which is the beginning of the concept of time).
  
  This was the intention from the beginning so that we can know all things.

  kess - you are the first I've seen on the forums to express this concept in laymen's terms. The idea that the brain - the mind - actually separates us from liberation. Creative nature - the nature of creation - is not moved into action by any incidental cause, but by the removal of obstacles, by the removal of habitual patterns, the relationship of cause and effect which we allow to cling. One who remains undistracted by the effects of worldly afflictions reaches discriminative discernment. From this there follows freedom from cause and effect. We have the potential to achieve complete disassociation with awareness thus ultimately joining pure consciousness.

  Everything that exists has consciousness or rather is consciousness to a greater or lesser degree, depending on its form. Our ability to perceive arises through the use (or lack of use in most cases lol) of the physical brain.

  Excellent explanation. "Everything [i]is[i/] consciousness". So perception and 'seeing' are for the sake of the seer. The mind perceives what it reflects which is why what we think about persists, why we become/experience what we think about. Consciousness appears to the mind as intellect, a way to 'see' distinction, to perceive. Yes, I think so.

  The consciousness always preceded the brain.......
  
  The consciousness "exist" as whole in one of two forms...
  As All things which is called Life.
  or as nothing which is called death.
  
  Now while in the brain it becomes divided, in this state of division it becomes unsure of itself.
  
  As long as it remains divided it will exist as death...
  
  But when realisation comes then one sees himself as Life.
  
  Only the brain that is empowered by consciousness can have an understanding and discussions about pertaining to life and death, good and evil etc etc.
  
  This is why where there is ultimately no realisation, the consciousness will take the position of "when you dead you done".
  
  And it will remain so for such a one because he has returned to his origin.

  god doesn't exist in the brain, but imagination takes place in the brain - God is imagined by the brain (not the heart)

  couturepopcafeposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  I would contend that paarsurrey, pisean and Bailebear are all correct. The concept and therefore existence of consciousness (God) in the mind would be misinterpreted as physical brain. However, reasoning, which is a typically human attribute, conflicts with clarity. This argumentative/reasoning position or condition is what separates us from pure consciousness or the higher state of being.
  
  paarsurrey believes the creator is real and lasting, a consciousness which is separated from worldly affliction. This unexplainable phenomenon is what has kept so many over thousands of years attracted to God/consciousness, and rightly so though I believe misinterpreted.
  
  pisean takes a stand for the brain illogically concluding that God/consciousness exists because without reason this consciousness becomes nameless, unrecognizable. The detachment from awareness of cause and effect could, in fact, potentially bring us to a state of total unawareness, unnamed and unrecognizable, but one with the higher consciousness.
  
  Baileybear believes imagination is how we come to identify a higher power, through the brain, not the heart though the two are directly connected both physiologically and emotionally. Difficult to separate in our worldly terms, she may be closest to the mark. We have 'imagined' a God/consciousness because it already exists within us. It is something we remember rather something we have imagined.

  pennyofheavenposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  In a sense you are correct. Science has found a way to explain imagination. Almost all of existence is perceived through our minds which use the brain as its conduit if you like. God is perceived by the brain then. If the neurons that can perceive more of what is "out there" (but not really out there)are firing we will perceive more of what is out there. So in order to perceive God those particular neurons need to be firing. If they are not God won't exist.

  penny - you are more correct than you might imagine. The direction of our engagement would necessarily determine what we perceive. Memory - not allowing mental impressions to escape - would preclude a correct perception of God/consciousness, in essence going backward or more correctly put, sinking deeper into affliction, that which prevents us from discernment. Conversely, those who cling to organized religious groups are essentially doing the wrong thing but for the right reasons.

  A person with artificial heart will not lack any emotion & that was exactly my point. Because, emotions occur from our brain honey, not from our heart! Feelings & emotions all forms from parts of our brain. Heart has nothing to do with dat. Please go through Psychology -101 before starting this type of conversation again.

  Nearly every brain-regulating chemical found in your brain has also been found in your gut brain (the enteric nervous system)including both hormones and neurotransmitters. The total of nerve cells in your gut is greater than the total nerves connecting the rest your body to your brain. This complex circuitry allows your “gut brain” to act totally independent of the brain in your skull.

  couturepopcafeposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  So scientists are calling this the second brain. During early fetal development both your “gut” (esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon) and your primary brain start to develop from the same clump of embryonic tissue.
  
  When that piece of tissue divides, one piece grows into your central nervous system (your brain and cranial nerves). The other section becomes your enteric nervous system (your “gut brain.”)
  
  During later stages of fetal development, these two brains then became connected via a massive nerve -- the vagus nerve.
  
  The vagus nerve is the longest of all our cranial nerves, and creates a direct connection between your brain and your gut.
  
  "Many mystical and natural healing practices consider the belly a major center of energy and higher consciousness.
  
  In China, the arts of Tai Chi and Qigong emphasize the lower abdomen as a major reservoir for life energy and health. The belly is considered the “dantian,” a key center for higher consciousness development."
  
  Also a primary source of pain relief, the “gut brain” naturally produces chemicals (benzodiazepine) found in many pain relievers and anti-anxiety drugs like Valium.
  
  And like your primary brain, your “gut brain” also has opiate receptors.
  
  “Drugs like morphine and heroin also attach to the gut's opiate receptors and both brains can become addicted to opiates."

  Thank you, Baileybear. The fact that the brain sends signals to the rest of the body when one begins to experience a crush, for example, or a death of a loved one, is where the idea about emotional heart probably began. Our heart rate increases, we breath differently, blood pressure increases, etc. I'm pretty sure anyone who passed 5th grade knows we have one heart, one brain though I can understand how the idea could be misleading. I guess I will need to follow my own advice and consider the audience and context in conversation. I try to be exacting when I'm writing because it is easy to be misinterpreted. I will be more mindful in future. (No pun intended)

  Rich, you're a real wise guy. Some people spend a lifetime learning and the web has certainly made information more readily available. You can argue that Google can make anyone seem more knowledgeable and there would be some truth to that. One could just as easily go to a book or to an expert or draw from one's own experience. If you can't hold up an intelligent conversation, or at least take part in some intelligent way, maybe you should not pretend to be part of the conversation...........honey. I'm a little weary of reverse prejudice. I don't pretend to be smart. I am smart. I don't pretend to be smarter than you or anyone else. I bring to the conversation and debate in the way I know using the best of my intellect. If for some reason you are offended by someone who likes to learn, it's not my problem. You should consider striving for something you really want and by your comments I'd say you want to be more educated. Instead you spend your time belittling and making sarcastic remarks.

  Ok so why punish us for being what He created us as? I mean really, make us with curiosity, put a tree right in the middle of the garden (not atop some massive sheer cliff top, perhaps with thorns and poison ivy all around it) and say
  
  'see this tree here, this one right here.... pay attention guys! seriously, this is going to be in the quiz later and if you don't stop playing with that unicorn I swear to Me that I am going to take it away!... Right thats it, I am taking the unicorn back!.... Now where was I? Oh right, see this tree here, No not that one Adam, this one here, with the pretty looking fruit on it! Yes thats one Adam! Right, under no circumstances are you to eat this fruit, Eve I am looking at you!'
  
  Then get all surprised when we are susceptible to a talking snake stirring up our curiosity (give to us by God mind you) about what makes that particular bit of fruit off limits! Not very well thought out by the Creator in my opinion.
  
  I am what I am and I am not going to apologize for being so. I don't recall asking to be created and I sure don't appreciate being created for the purpose of worshiping a God that demands it with threats of hell and eternal damnation. I am who I am, I do the best I can with the abilities I have and if that is not good enough then to bad! Might be an idea to go back to the drawing board if worshipers are all that this God wants. Remove the curiosity, limitations in understanding, time it takes to develop and create a virtual pet on a key chain instead.

Everything you learn exists in your brain, but, why God would be different than anything else you learn, seems kind of pointless.

I think this is why it is so hard for these world religions and the scientists to agree. Because there are a lot of people in this world who make it a point to make you believe in "their" god, while they try to discourage you from thinking or believing anything else. Because we only know God, because someone told us he exists.

Hundreds of years ago people had the same notion that the world was flat. And, they certainly didn't know about the planets, heck, they once thought the sun was god. We only know what we learn.

So, to say that God exists in our brain can only be true. The only way it could not be true, is if nobody ever learned about it. As I'm sure that there are still things that we have not learned yet.

I had a grandmother named Hazel, but you didn't know that. But now you do because I told, just like you learned about God.

  jay - I believe there is no doubt that good and bad people exist at any given time. This is a strong argument for reincarnation. It is not likely that the worst of us became that way in one short lifetime. Energy has built over several lifetimes and the will to cling to old experiences has not allowed the soul to remember well the God/consciousness. Not being emersed in an environment of good, the evil soul continues along the same path, sinking deeper and deeper into the path away from God/consciousness. The application of mastery comes in stages: steadfastness of mind, unbroken continuation of mental ability/meditation, consciousness of that meditation and not of the mind. These together are self-control. With mastery of this comes wisdom, witnessing the rise and destruction of distraction.

God exist in human brain : agreed or disagree?

We are created by Allah- the Creator God; hence our brain; the Creator God ultimately has control over everything in our self including our brain.

The Creator-God exists everywhere with His attributes but He is not a part of us the created.

  jay - I think we can learn to control physical things like heart rate, yes. The brain is the control center. But we can still feel emotion. People who are practiced in self control can do this, like Brahmins and sages and monks. They experience the world but are not affected by it. They practice discrimination against all negativity and only experience higher emotions such as joy. I'm only surmising what I've learned through reading, not first hand knowledge. I have never been a monk.

  The brain interprets what we sense or feel. This is why the heart rate increases or decreases. It increases in heightened emotional times and decreases in times of peace, calm and tranquility states. The heart rate is a physical reaction to what the brain interprets. Whatever the brain interprets not only the heart but the rest of the body reacts if we are aware.
  
  The pure of heart the bible points to, is what is sensed without our perceptions getting in the way. A kind of no mind state.

I have been conversing with nonbelievers for a number of years now and I am quite certain they have no desire or interest in changing their perspective pertaining to their beliefs so what I say now is more for believers than for nonbelievers.

If we are to accept the concept that the universe spontaneously created itself and there is no one or nothing except physical properties which runs everything then the only logical conclusion we can draw from these developments isn't that all of life and all of the universe was simply a mistake. With that in mind those of us who live serve no purpose. We have no high ideals to gravitate to since we are simply a mistake. Creating laws, respecting each other have no significance since we came from nothing and we will return to nothing.

  what about the mind?
  
  It is amazing to verify that even after several centuries of philosophical ponderations, hard dedication to brain research and remarkable advances in the field of neuroscience, the concept of mind still remains obscure, controversial and impossible to define within the limits of our language.
  
  One strongly held view is that the mind is an entity distinct from the brain; this speculation has its historical roots: the early theories, termed dualistic hypotheses of the brain function, which stated that the material brain can be viewed mechanistically but that mind is some entity with different and undefined physical character. In such theories the mind was seen as synonymous with the soul, forming an integral part of the prevailing religious culture. For example, René Descartes (1596-1650) the french philosopher, perpetuated Plato's (428-348 B.C.) mind-body dualism philosophically separating the mind and the body (1). He stimulated the debate "How does the non material mind influence the brain and vice versa ?" His ideas permeated philosophical and scientific views right up to the present day, changing the way in which mainstream research approached the problem of self. Since the mind and brain were now usually viewed as isolated entities, research into these areas was inherently separate; biochemists concerned themselves with objective somatic mechanisms, psychologists wrestled with the subjective properties of the mind; philosophers and theologians carried with them the spirit and soul.
  
  Mindis a definition which tries to rescue the essence of man. The essence of a person arises from the existence of mental functions which permit him or her to think and to perceive, to love and to hate, to learn and to remember, to solve problems, to communicate through speech and writing, to create and to destroy civilizations. These expressions are closely related with brain functioning. Therefore, without the brain, the mind cannot exist, without the behavioral manifestation, the mind cannot be expressed.
  
  Spirit and soul seem to be religious and metaphysical interpretations of the mind. Neuroscience has understood the brain and the mind as a result of experimental investigation. Acceptance or rejection of the existence of the spirit and soul depends on faith and religious conviction, which cannot be proved or disproved by experimental methods. It seems to be more coherent to think that beliefs are dependent on physiological activity of the brain and of our cultural environment. We cannot have religious concepts if we do not have a functioning brain (e.g., as when the brain activity is blocked by coma or deep anesthesia) and we cannot believe in things which we do not learn, hear, or experience. It is not impossible to think that some people can "learn" to believe in the existence of God, life after death and supernatural forces because the brain is provided with emotional centers in order to satisfy psychological needs. I frequently ask myself: "Is there any brain region involved with mystic-religious experience? Could either lesions or absence of those regions abolish religious beliefs? Or, on the contray, could "electrical storms" (hyperstimulation of neuronal circuits) provoked by psychotic or epileptic seizure be acting on specific brain circuitry that processes a possible religious feeling?"
  
  From Journal...so i hope that answers both concept of mind and concept of god..
