capacity of human consciousness within Cartesian dualism. Science, or more precisely quantum physics, have introduced persuasive reasons to be skeptical of a dualistic philosophy as being conceivable. In order for the realms of mind and matter to interact, physics claims that an exchange of energy is necessary, yet we know that energy of the material world remains constant, as the law of conservation of energy claims. Therefore, if the one reality is material in nature, consciousness cannot…

There's so much material buried deep in our subconscious and unconscious minds and sometimes those aspects of ourselves that we conceal or repress have a greater sway over our identities than we think they do.

Though while it would be interesting to see the operation of two men as one it doesn’t seem to be the best idea. This is because Mr. Neelix has the memory of two men, which…

Envision a world where we couldn’t see anybody's physical appearance, no skin, bone or organ. What would we see internally beneath the barriers of flesh and cell? Would we see an ego different from ourselves or a substance exactly the same? How can we know the answer to this question when we can’t even assess the differences because we are so attached to our own egos. In Homer’s, The Odyssey, Odysseus embarks on a journey from the city of Troy, back to his home in Ithaca. Odysseus consistently…
