The Science of Self, Mind and Body

Abstract

A relationship among self, mind and body in humans is still not clearly known in philosophy and science because of lack of human data that would enable to objectively explain it. Teachings related to their relationship in religions have been given to humanity in general in terms of subjective words. Consequently, philosophers and scientists have been investigating to find objective proofs related to their relationship. The author proposed a theory in his book (2009) that there are in a human individual two selves, one, the inner self (the true self) and one, the physical self (the false self) that coexist in one individual person. McGonigal (2012) published her book in which she described two minds or two selves in one human individual, naming them “I Will” and “I WANT” self on the basis of extensive studies on adult subjects. More recent researches in neuroscience using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) discovered that the prefrontal cortex of the human brain performs self-control, emotion regulation and guiding behaviors with morality, future goals and rules. The author compared characteristic aspects of the inner and physical selves of Chung with the “I Will” and “I Want” selves of McGonigal. There is a remarkable good agreement between the inner and physical selves of Chung and the “I Will” and “I WANT” selves of McGonigal. The author proposes a theory in this study that the inner and physical selves correspond to the “I WILL” and “I WANT” selves, respectively, and that the inner self, the true self, controls the physical self, the false self, interacting with the prefrontal cortex ofthe human brain

On the Possible Deeper Structure of Leptons and Quarks: A View of the “Ultron”-“Logotron” Theory

“…The author's personal experiences of precognitive dreams that are verified as true seem to strongly suggest the work of the author's inner self and further to reveal a glimpse into an unknown, timeless and nonlocal consciousness world of reality, i.e. the invisible spiritual world (Chung, 2009(Chung, , 2012(Chung, , 2014a). …”

“…The author proposed a theory that there are in human individuals two selves, one, the inner self (the true self, spirit) and one, the physical self (the false self) that coexist in one individual person (Chung, 2009(Chung, , 2012. McGonigal (2012) describes that one individual has two minds or two selves, naming "I WILL" and "I WANT" selves.…”

“…The author (Chung, 2012) published a theory regarding the scientific relationship among self, mind and body based on the above described findings that a human individual, the self is composed of the inner true self (spirit) and the physical false self that would fade and disappear at death of the body. The inner self has free will, will power, cognition, reason, morality, conscience, creative power, mathematical computation, future plan and high goals, behavior control, emotion regulation, and memory retrieval, supervising the physical self/body that senses through sensory organ systems and responds to the external world.…”

“…The author had unusual precognitive dreams during the World War II and the Korean War that saved not only the author but also other people (Gruenberg, 1959;Chung, 2009Chung, , 2012Chung, , 2014a. Information received in the precognitive dreams of future events that took place in reality was verified as true (Chung, 2014a).…”

“…Mind and matter are interrelated and interconnected (Capra, 1999;Chung, 2009Chung, , 2012). Table 2 shows comparison of characteristic aspects of "ultrons" and "logotrons".…”
