"
I think the miracle of the brain is grossly overestimated compared to the miracle of thought generated by the spirit."

I'm not sure I understand the significance of that, Amos.... that is, I don't know what is meant for 'spirit' to generate thought.

If your forebearance up there means that you prefer 'brain' to refer to a mass of grey matter, and "spirit" to its processes, that is a reasonable, but not profound distinction. If you mean 'spirit' to refer to some intangible essence that overlays and 'moves' brain processes, it is a more meaningful, but debatable, distinction.

(I retyped that about 4 times, trying to word it clearly.)

It's a funny thing about language....sometimes, when we **name** something, we seem to think it is automatically endowed with existence.

I have met folks who treated Kant's TUPA (the Transcendental Unity of Pure Apperception) as some sort of entity...and a couple who thought one could perform Husserl's "Eidetic Reduction" as though singing a song.
