Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Very few people, including most scientists, realize that we have absolutely no proof that consciousness is actually produced in the brain and by the brain. There is no doubt that there exists vast clinical and experimental evidence showing significant interconnections and correlations between the anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of the brain, on the one hand, and states of consciousness, on the other. However, it represents a major logical jump to infer from the available data that these correlations represent a proof that the brain is actually the source of consciousness. Such a deduction would be tantamount to the conclusion that the TV program is generated in the TV set, because there is a close correlation between functioning or malfunctioning of its components and the quality of the sound and picture.

For me, creating things is about finding a place for feelings that would otherwise interfere with ordinary life.
Those could be feelings of aggression. They could be feelings of depression. For me, those are two common ones, and they're not feelings that I want to dominate my ordinary life, which is why they work so well as an engine for making things.
Forgiveness is not something we do for others; it is a gift to ourselves.
