edit: i'm not just claiming shit. look what happens to patiens with brain damage. they can completely change. therefore, the brain must act as some sort of lense for the soulforce, and our self is the result of that

no
>the importance of the brain should not be underestimated
who is underestimating it?
it acts as both the keyboard/mouse and processor for the human biocomputer
>mere
there's nothing 'mere' about it, it's quite marvelous
>doubt that perception through a human body is the same
of course not, that much is quite obvious
>you as what you are right now will cease to exist when you die
no, completely wrong
that's like saying that you as what you are when looking at a computer screen and operating the computer will cease to exist when you look away from it and walk away
the perceptions are obviously very different, but you remain the exact same
again, you are an eternal being, you are immortal, there is no such thing as death

if you smash your computer, it obviously won't work very well
>our self is the result of that
wrong
here you are again attempting to make it out as if the workings of the biocomputer 'results' in the self, which is as far from the truth as you can get
it's rather the diametric opposite that's really the case, namely that the self is what results in particular workings of the computer, activity which is known as self-expression and self-realization

what about experience? it changes you and how you behave, how you feel.
if what you describe as 'immortal being' is just the current that powers the computer, it's surely not the same as the data which is lost every time you wipe the drive clean

perhaps this will facilitate your understanding (I just took those screenshots and merged them myself)
