Searching for Spirit: Searching for Truth About Mind and Morality C. R. Lind

Where IS your mind? Is your mind located somewhere in your brain? Does your brain create your mind? If the answer to these questions is yes, the belief held by many religions that there is life after death is false. If the answer to these questions is yes, then morality is a product of the functioning of a brain, and the belief that there is an absolute morality is false. Searching for Spirit challenges the widely held belief that a brain or any other physical process can create mind. It is a quest to discover the true nature of both mind and morality. The idea that mind is created by brain is part of a much broader belief system called materialism. Materialism is the belief that matter and the mathematical rules of physics and chemistry are sufficient to explain everything that exists, including your mind. There are two competing alternatives to materialism; dualism and idealism. This book explores both dualism and idealism as possible explanations of mind and existence.
