BECAUSE THE MIND STORES MEMORIES, MAKES PLANS AND AUTONOMOUSLY SPARKS COMPLETELY NEW IMAGES AND IDEAS? For it doesn't just respond to outside stimuli! For example, when a man sees a lion, he doesn't react automatically to the sight of the predator. He remembers that a year ago a lion ate he aunt?!! He imagines how he would feel if a lion tore him to pieces! He contemplates the fate of his orphaned children... That's why he flees. Indeed, many chain reactions begin with the mind's own initiative rather than with any immediate external stimulus. Thus a memory of some prior lion attack might spontaneously pop up in the man's mind, setting him thinking about the danger posed by lions? He then gets all the tribespeople together and they brainstorm novel methods for scaring lions away! But wait a moment. What are all these memories, imaginations & thoughts? Where do they exist? According to current biological theories, our memories, imaginations & thoughts don't exist in some higher immaterial field! Rather, they too are avalanches of electric signals fired by billions of neurons?! Hence even when we figure in memories, imaginations & thoughts, we are still left with a series of electrochemical reactions that pass through billions of neurons, ending with the activity of adrenal glands and leg muscles!? Is there even a single step on this long and twisting on the roads of our journey where, between the action of one NEURON and the reaction of the next, the mind intervenes and decides whether the second NEURON should fire or not! Is there any material movement, or even a single electron, that is caused by the subjective experience of fear rather than by the prior movement of some other particle! If there is no such movement - and if every electron moves because another electron moved earlier - why do we need to experience fear? We have no clue. Or is 'soul' (mind/brain/head/"PC"knipoog maybe our special 'unique' individual lifevessel that comes in existence from all of our ancestors, our own special interpretations, fabulous verbal & artistic creations & eventually all our essential fantastic life-impressions that 'we leave behind' after all 'happens' what we 'were' once and have, willingly or coincidentally, 'left behind for some magical eternal' happening in time and space 'for some strange human purpose'?
