Holy Spirit in the brain?
In science and neurology it has been discovered that there is at least one other seperate personality or consciousness in the brain. This has been demonstrated through various experiments which range from hypnosis to split-brain procedures.
In Anthony Peake's book 'Is there life after death?', he gives evidence that this being possibly has access to knowledge which is not attainable to us, such as being able to 'see the future' in certain circumstances. It has been referred to in different cultures as the 'Higher Self', the 'Daemon', and the 'Guardian Angel'. Many religious groups such as the Gnostics recognise man's duality of being and some even claim that to unite with it is the way to salvation.
I was wondering... perhaps this seperate consciousness could be the Holy Spirit which is taught about in Christianity? It might seem like a leap of faith but consider these:
1) God/The Holy Spirit is omniscient, sees everything we do and is referred to as making judgements about us. The 'daemon' is a hidden observer which is watching you right now and in the same way judging you.
2) God is said to give man visions or confirmation through the Holy Spirit. It is said that our 'daemon' can sometimes interact with us through inducing hallucinations or hunches, and in extreme cases possibly even posessing us, causing us to switch personalities.
3) If the 'daemon' does have access to higher or divine knowledge, this once again ties in with God's presence in the world which is the Holy Spirit.
What do you dudes think?
