To simply claim, as if fact, that the brain is a non local phenomenon, is well, beyond me. If you truely believe this claim, would you be willing for me to remove a few chunks of your brain? I'm serious, if you truely believe such a thing, im sure we could find a doctor somewhere on the planet who would be willing to perform such an operation. If you're right, we can write a best selling book and revolutionise the world. (same goes for eyes, for those who belive in the astral body, shall we not just poke your eyes out, if you can see the real world so well with your astral - non local -eyes?)
As for the "laws of physics" there is no such thing, what people forget when they use that term is that the laws of physics really means "the observed behaviour of the physical world". Observed being the most important word. The rules scientists apply are simply useful tools, based on observation of the real world, to tie those observations together. As such when new behaviour is observed the "rules" change.
I'm sure you believe strongly in what you are saying. But could you please write it in that form (as a belief, or an opinion), rather than fact. Because it is not fact, it's belief.
And before you go mental at me, I've studied eastern mysticism a loooong time, and taken DMT etc. on many occasions. I'm aware of these mystical experiences. I'm not however willing to draw the fantastical conclusions just yet, because I believe in the beautiful complexity of the human brain, and think it is a disservice to say that the mind is non-local.
As the old classic saying goes: Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
I feel that the same holds true of the human mind.
It's amazing enough, do we really need to diminish it's beauty by making up stories about astral planes and chakras?
