My belief is...

Submitted by merry2e on Sun, 01/27/2008 - 8:29pm.

Without the brain…there would not be a mind. Brain and mind are intertwined together, but when one dies, the other dies with it. The mind is a perception of our brains.

Without the brain there would not be behavior.

Without the brain there would not be a body to remember. (sensations, olfactory, etc)

The spirit is a whole different story. I believe my spirit will live on in the hearts (body, as the body remembers), brain/mind,  of those who I have loved and touched throughout my life.

I could be totally wrong. Or I could be totally right.  Will we ever know?

"I said in Dorian Gray that the great sins of the world take place in the brain: but it is in the brain that everything takes place.... It is in the brain that the poppy is red, that the apple is odorous, that the skylark sings." ~Oscar Wilde
