Mind Kinesis

Psychic synesthesia has long been attributed to genetics. Scientists now believe synesthesia can be developed by life-threatening trauma, near-death experience, post-hypnotic suggestion or various spiritual

The connection between the ‘bondage of mind’ and the ‘bondage of the body’ as found in the southern ideology justifying slavery; The notion of slavery seems foreign to the majority of people today, but for our ancestors and Frederick Douglass it was a very real part of life. The concept of slavery is one that people today find unfathomable, particularly in the justification of slavery and why people owned slaves. The institution of slavery is as old as civilization itself existing in various forms throughout the world, history and remarkably, continues to exist in some people’s lives today. The historical common denominator is that enslavement of another human being has been more often than not involuntary. Sometimes people sold themselves into slavery as a means of survival as is seen with English indentured servants coming from England to the “New world” in the early 1500’s. These indentured servants would enter a contract with their master and after a period of time would fulfill their obligation and then be released to continue and pursue their lives. However, most forms of slavery were not voluntary and these people would be forced into enslavement via becoming prisoners of war, punishment for illegal or criminal conduct, failure to pay debts, sold by parents or chieftains, birthed by a slave, or transferred from one master to another through sale or inheritance.

Mind-body medicine uses the power of thoughts and emotions to influence physical health (University of Maryland Medical Center). While I agree

Nothing in the world is more mysterious than the human mind but without the brain how do you have a mind? The brain sends and receives information by electrical impulses around the human body allowing us to see, move, feel, hear and think. If the brain is removed from the human body these impulses will cease, thus there will be no mind. Philosophers like Place, Smart, and Armstrong support this claim through the notion of identify theory and type physicalism. Brain and mind identity is a very controversial topic with some philosophers arguing that because people can have knowledge of a specific mental state without being affected in the physical state, mind and the brain may well be different. However with significant breakthroughs in neuroscience in the last century, such as Dr. Penfield’s Montreal procedure it is safe to say that the brain has direct control over the mind thus the two being in/distinguishable.

Thus, all medical interventions are physical—such as medication use for pain and healing; surgery for a fracture reduction or removal of a foreign body; and radiation for a cancerous tumor, etc. Essentially, in Era 1 Medicine, the body is not functioning properly, so the physician “mechanic” uses whatever tools of treatment that is available to fix the problem, and the mind is exclusively equated with the functioning of the brain (Dossey & Keegan,

My biggest ally throughout my academic career has undoubtedly been my mother, Mindy. She has always been willing to correct and nitpick my schoolwork. Nearly every single paper I have written has been proofread by her, every speech I have ever given has been practiced on her, and every confusing assignment I’ve had has been explained to me by her. I have always been very diligent in my school work, so I often like to have someone review my more challenging assignments before turning them in. Whenever I have homework questions, she is always willing and ready to help me find a solution. Another thing she does to help with my schoolwork is help me study. Mindy has spent countless hours repeatedly quizzing me until I have all of the information

It can be very difficult to find a universal proposal that offers a solution to the mind body problem. While solutions to this problem differ greatly, all attempt to answer questions such as: What makes a mental state mental? What is the fundamental nature of the mental? Or more specifically speaking, what makes a thought a thought? Or what makes a pain a pain? In an attempt to answer these questions, many philosophers over the centuries have rejected, proposed, or altered preexisting theories in order to keep up with the thinking and science of their times. Entering the 21st century their still exit a plethora of theories, some stronger than others, which include Cartesian dualism, physicalism,

Next I will start discussing the ethical issues represented in the other film ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.’ This film deals with the ethical implications concerning memory loss. In the film, Joel and Clementine, who are ex-lovers, remove memories of each other. If you could erase someone from your life, would you? The act of erasing a person’s memory appears at first so highly unethical, even when the characters in the film have actually requested for it.

The concept of mind and body interactions has been debated among many modern philosophers. Some believe that our minds and bodies are different things, thus existing separately, while others believe that they exist as a whole. In this paper, I will be introducing two rationalist philosophical views regarding this topic, one which is by Rene Descartes and the other by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Rationalists, in philosophical terms, are the ones who obtain their knowledge through reasoning rather than the human senses. Descartes and Leibniz both have similar perspectives, but Leibniz takes a slightly different approach to improve Descartes’ argument. This paper will first show Descartes’ original argument, an example that proves the argument to be invalid, and then lastly, a revised version of the argument with Leibniz’s help.

The Mind-Body problem arises to Philosophy when we wonder what is the relationship between the mental states, like beliefs and thoughts, and the physical states, like water, human bodies and tables. For the purpose of this paper I will consider physical states as human bodies because we are thinking beings, while the other material things have no mental processes. The question whether mind and body are the same thing, somehow related, or two distinct things not related, has been asked throughout the history of Philosophy, so some philosophers tried to elaborate arrangements and arguments about it, in order to solve the problem and give a satisfactory answer to the question. This paper will argue that the Mind-Body Dualism, a view in

Even if a person knows that he/she want to control their body that may not always happen. According, to the Republic, instead of looking at humans as two halves, the mind

The stability of the mind is uncertain in the medical field. Even though researches about how the mind works has helped us developed a better understanding about the human mind and its behavior, they have failed to give us a complete and knowledgeable concrete answer to all the questions of its deep studies. The human mind is still a very abroad subject to medicine. What makes a mind stable and what triggers mental illnesses is a question that will still be unknown to the medical field for more years to come. The understanding of the mind is a quest that has started since the beginning of human civilization and it has not stopped. The mind is an organ of its own, and it develops its own unique style of evolution through time. It is a very small organ that is responsible for the function of the human body. All our functions come from there, the way we speak, think and behave. As all other organs, it also has its own illnesses that for many centuries we have tried to understand. The illness of the mind still has no cure and what science has found only contributes to the temporary solution, but not the cure of the illness. One of the most severe forms of mental illness is Schizophrenia. This illness has tormented people since the beginning of history. Schizophrenia, the illness that is still very mysterious to medicine; the symptoms, the cause, diagnosis, types of schizophrenia and the medication are not the solutions for a lasting illness.

A mindset is a person’s way of thinking about various available business options. An American psychologist Howard Gardner (2006), in his work “Five Minds for future”, describes a person’s mindset as made up of five minds namely: the disciplinary mind which holds the mastery
