>>And I wouldn't be calling those "parts of myself". I am a body. I am a mind. It's not what I HAVE, it's aspects of what I am. Or else who would be the one to ask "who is it that does the having of the mind"?

>You contend then do you, that if your brain were removed from your head, you would still have all your knowledge, intuition, faith etc?

Pretty much yes, except for the last. I have only trust there, that Murphy won't take a day off :).

>In other words, your mind would pretty much be unaffected?

I didn't say there. If my physical aspect is changed, it WILL affect my mind. If I were to be uploaded into a virtual space, or were to be transplanted into a different body or whichever displacement you may want to imagine, it'd still be me, in a way, just a different me.

I feel this connection between these aspects all the time - I cannot think straight if I didn't sleep well, my blood pressure may rise for a minute if something I hear starts my adrenaline, I may be thinking of food if I'm hungry or I may become hungry when we talk about food. It goes both ways for me, and I don't think I'm any exception at that.

>Sorry, my mind is a manifestation of how my brain works - physically. There isn't any metaphysics, spirit, call it what you will, involved.

But there is - it's a process in your brain. You start thinking about life, universe and everything, you're going metaphysical. You start thinking about your relationship with the rest of your species, you're shaping your spirit, i.e. your private set of attitudes, behaviors, ways of thinking.

If for any reason you may have thought that I envisioned a spirit of a person as something that may exist separately from that person, sorry for the confusion - I had no such intention.
