Existence

@twilitezone911 Said

what if when you look into a mirror image, but you are still are the mirror facing yourself. what if the refection is your existence? i mean you never really are out of the mirror, your existence is the mirror itself. is your refection or even you looking in the mirror real? something that has been made up by something, we can't see?

Now there's a thought...

If we are actually the reflection in the mirror, that means that the mirror "reflects" more than just the reverse image of the subject (us...or them), but would presumably also reflect the reverse inner thinking of the image.

As we look in the mirror we can perhaps be happy that we are not our own evil doppelgänger Jabberwocky self....or can we...?

Eagle:

On Thought:

Thought is a mechanism of a physical mind that generates a non-corporeal response to a corporeal stimulus.

Erimitus:

~ Assuming Dualism (and I don't) there are both physical and the non-physical aspects to being. The brain/nervous system is physical. The mind is non-physical. (is that correct?)

If I understand correctly the physical aspect of being (i.e. brain *see note) generates/causes/produces) an a non-physical response to a physical stimulus (i.e. sensory data). (is that correct?)

Is thought physical, non-physical, or both?

Can the non-physical exist without the physical?

Can the physical exist without the non-physical? (tree falls in the woods)

Can the physical and non-physical aspects of being exist independently?


Note* everything else physical (body) is just an adjunct to serve the brain.
