" ... all thought is biomechanical, intentionality is just a deterministic accident, and all spiritual awareness is illusory, a simple happenstance of brain oxygen levels ..."

Yes, it probably is.

"Jung made the observation that the psyche goes beyond space and time. This is either true or not."

Probably not true ... even though Jung said it.

"If the former is true, all of the documented cases of unusual phenomena--including telepathic moments, OOBs, NDEs, and more common things such as understanding itself, the appetite for justice, aesthetics, intuitive perception and so on, are fairly readily explained. These are byproducts of a spiritual sense."

This is what we call: 'over-extending the possible implications of dubious anecdotes' ... 'OPIDAs' ...?

"Making a big issue out of the fact that the literature is predominately anecdotal really misses the point by a country mile ..."

No it doesn't.

"The difference between meat and spirit is exactly that the human spirit is not bound by the entropic, redundant, blind laws of mass and energy in time and space ... "

Uuuuummmm! It probably is, Amos ... sorry!
