Is our soul just an electrical charge?.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Question:

“I have come to my considered conclusion that what we have been describing as Soul is nothing but the ‘Electric Charge’ and mind is just an attribute of the circulating electric charge through millions of ion channels inside the bodies of animate organisms. 

Without electric charge, no structure of any kind is possible to exist in the universe and the electron as a fundamental particle makes, remakes, and recycles practically everything in the universe. 

What is your opinion on this?”

Response:

The physical body and its measurable activity, like electro-chemical neurological processes, is part of how consciousness interacts with the environment, but our awareness is not created by, or identical with that physical activity. 

A radio can play music, but the radio doesn’t create the music, nor is the music in the components of the radio, nor in the electricity flowing through its circuitry. 

If the subjective experience of awareness was “nothing but electric charge,” why wouldn’t any and all biomass with some electrical charge moving through it be considered alive, conscious, or possessed of a soul? 

Why do you stipulate that electricity only has a soul if it is in an animate organism? 

Isn’t that looking for consciousness where we know it already is? 

Furthermore, if all subjective experience is reducible to the flow of electrons through ion channels, how do you account for the range of human experiences of love, inspiration, kindness, ambition, creativity, hope, and joy? 

Reducing the richness of human experience to electro-chemical interaction doesn’t seem to help us understand our world, it only repeats what we know about electricity.

Love,

Deepak
