Where do you think intentionality comes from then?

The furthest I have examined this, Paul, is that (a) there seems to be an "I" that transcends the normal limits of the meatspace we usually associate ourselves with, that participates in the oddities of OOB experiences, spiritual discoveires, epiphanies, NDEs, and other things pretty outside the ordinary realms of physical science; and that the core nature of this "I" includes inherent ability.

Physical particles do not, as far as I have observed them, seem to have any "ability", but living beings do seem to. This is another reason why I keep returning to the "something other than physical model". The primary abilities inherent in a being are intending and perceiving.

That's how I see it, anyway. It is the minimal postulate I can make that accounts for all the data that physics seems to leave out. But I am always open to learning experiences! :)
