Researchers have succeeded in discovering the soul !!!
Researchers identified a small structure in the brain, the anterior precuneus or aPCu, as a crucial component in establishing our physical self or “I”.
The aPCu is part of a network of brain regions that integrate information regarding our location, motion, and bodily sensations to form our self-awareness. When electrical activity in the aPCu is disrupted, people experience altered perceptions of their position in the world.
“For every action we take, even during dreams,” he said, “there’s always an agent behind it: We call that agent ‘I’. ‘Me’ is everything we have stored in our memories about the ‘I'”.
The physical/bodily sense of self—”I”—contrasts with another, narrative aspect of self—”me”—that has to do with actively or passively thinking about your past life or planning your future: things like memory, habits, personality, emotions, feelings for others, what lies ahead, etc.
We’ve shown the precise location of key cells in the aPCu and, Dian’s map clearly shows how they connect with the rest of the brain,” Parvizi said.
“You may not be conscious of your point of view. But you will be if I disrupt the network that generates it. Your place in the world around you will suddenly seem unreal.”
Our psychological I is the center of our identification, is the response of memory. When I is not there then with him identification and attachments dissolves completely. - JK
J Krishnamurti had said that what we think of as soul is the reaction of memories in the brain. This psychological self becomes the center of our existence and because of it we are in relationship with each other. Emotions like Fear, depression, anxiety, anger are formed due to this psychological self.
We do not understand the mess that Me has made in our life because all the traditional religions have mistaken Me for the soul. He who realizes real nature of I, the chaos in his life disappears and his life becomes orderly.
