Have you noticed that art — as in books, movies, plays and other narratives — always predicts new/old ways of thinking? Whether it be science fiction or historical stories, we seem to be living in a loop of events. I recently watched the movie, The Life of Chuck. It is delightful! Before you watch it and disagree, let me say that the first part of it is not quite so charming, but Part 2 gets into Chuck’s life and it was fabulous! Here is an intriguing quote:
“The human brain is so finite - no more than a sponge of tissue inside a cage of bone - but the mind within the brain is infinite. Its storage capacity is colossal, its imaginative reach beyond our ability to comprehend. I think when a man or woman dies, a whole world falls to ruin - the world that person knew and believed in. Think of that, kiddo - billions of people on earth, and each one of those billions with a world inside. The earth their minds have conceived”
― Stephen King, The Life of Chuck
“You also believe the body’s brain can think. If you but understood the nature of thought, you could but laugh at this insane idea. It is as if you thought you held the match that lights the sun and gives it all its warmth; or that you held the world within your hand, securely bound until you let it go. Yet this is no more foolish than to believe the body’s eyes can see; the brain can think.”
— A Course in Miracles W-92.2:1-4
“The theoretical mind is matter, named brain, or material consciousness, the exact opposite of real Mind, or Spirit. Brainology teaches that mortals are created to suffer and die. It further teaches that when man is dead, his immortal soul is resurrected from death and mortality. Thus error theorizes that spirit is born of matter and returns to matter, and that man has a resurrection from dust; whereas Science unfolds the eternal verity, that man is the spiritual, eternal reflection of God.”
— Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 295:25-3
