The human mind does not perceive *anything* beyond the physical plane.

Oh, fie, Mrzz!! We have both chastised the religious believers in these threads for using freighted words to make statements which are self-proving, and now you are doing it your own self!

It may well be true that the human body does not perceive anything beyond the physical plane. But in your assertion you are embedding the very freighted proposition that all human minds are only of the body, and have no means of awareness that is not physical. This is a lot of embe4dded freight. And if those assumptions were to be explicated, they would have a lot of debate arou8nd them.

There are at least three general kinds of definitions of the word mind.

1. Brain and central nervous system, exclusively.
2. Constructs of pictures (such as memories, vocabularies, etc.) used by the viewpoint to pose and resolve problems in the physical or any other universe.
3. Consciousness in all its aspects taken collectively as a cosmic ingredient.


Either 2 or 3, allowed as possible definitions, would falsify your proposition excerpted above.
