Amos,

Yes - in this context the matter of positive thinking does take on a new complexion.

All sorts of speculations about energy manipulation become possible.


Bill,

It seems logical to me that if the mind is comprosed of some kind of measurable energy, or at least if, when the body energy audit is done, a mind sized hole is found that can only be explained by the presence of a new different type of energy, then that would suggest that the mind is dependant on the brain and is part of its thermodynamic cycle.

If on the other hand, there is no need for the existence of a mind for the bodies energy accounts to add up, then that suggests the mind is not of the boody but comprised of a different type of energy.

I think that an experiment which could measure that somehow could be very useful indeed.
