Does the soul exists?
(i) The TRANCE Phase
1. Lying on the right or left side with the body in a crouching position
2. Recalling activities that happened on that day or previous days
3. Feeling the sense of drifting with a mildly awake mind
4. Jerking once
5. Moments of total silence
6. Sleeping
(ii) The PROJECTION Phase
7. Total darkness
8. "Mentally awake" but the physical body is asleep
9. Eyes closed, sees "soul" detaching away from the body
10. "Soul" detaches slowly, starting from the feet and separating last off the head
11. The sensation of floating begins
(iii) The TRANSFORMATION Phase
11. Seeing the physical body, sleeping on its side, from a distance
12. Realizing a new body very different in its composition and characteristics from the physical body
13. Seeing all physical objects in the room even in total darkness (clue of consciousness)
14. Conflicting fear of dying or coming back to life
15. Deciding to stay alive by fighting the fear of death.
(iv) The RETURN Phase
16. Trying to speak or call for help but no words come out of the mouth
17. Trying to move parts of the body but unable to do so
18. Silently shouting earnestly to trigger movements
19. One or two fingers start to wiggle
20. A sensation of numbness in areas where the whole body is resting
21. Awareness and assessment of the physical surroundings
22. Going back to sleep in a comfortable position.
Third, the standard notion of the soul or spirit is totally misinterpreted and should be newly defined in a different light. Astral projection is an illusion created by a "dying" or disoriented mind. It is a by-product of the mind in irregular or abnormal environmental and bodily conditions. When the body and mind are acting differently from their normal ways, various psychiatric and behavioral disorders eventually crop up.
Fourth, some people believe that the physical body and the spiritual soul are two bodies in one form. But based on an account of another OOB experient, the physical body is not made up of only one but two astral entities or two souls. During astral projection, there are actually three personalities present: two abstract entities and one physical body. The three parts in existance are the astral entity returning, the physical body on the bed, and the one watching. (the watcher tells us that the soul is not real). I named this phenomenon The Astral Twin Paradox.
Since the brain's cerebrum is believed to be divided into the left and right hemispheres, it is possible that the mind is dualpaired. This means that the mind has twofold sensitivity: consciousness and alter- consciousness. An inner brain and an outer brain. Just like the eyes, where the left eye sees things differently from the right eye, the left hemisphere of the brain also "sees" things differently compared with the right hemisphere. Thus, it is possible that a ghost-like image is manifested in the right brain and a second ghost-like image is produced in the left brain. The astral twins exist due to the twoness of the brain.
Fifth, the soul is simply a product of one's imagination. In one of his AP experiments, Lawsin asked his brother to place a piece of paper with a handwritten secret word on top of a cabinet where his astral entity (soul) usually hovers. The experiment was designed to prove if the secret word can be uncovered by the soul when it leaves the body the next time an OOB episode occurs. The word to this day still remains unread. In another experiment, he made a bold agreement with his father. He suggested that whoever dies first, must come back, to tell the truth about the existence of the soul. Yet, Lawsin said, "My father died a few years ago, but until to this day I am still waiting for him to show up in spirit with my mother on his side".

The Non-Existence of the Soul: A Scientific Study Through the Laws of Motion
Publication Date:
1988 November
Abstract:
Several arguments challenge the existence of a soul, drawing from scientific, philosophical, and empirical perspectives. Scientific methods, which depend on observable and measurable phenomena, exclude the immaterial soul from their criteria. Neuroscience reveals that thought, emotion, and personality are intricately linked to brain activity. The theory of evolution, which elucidates the development of complex life forms, does not require the concept of a soul. Additionally, consciousness and self-awareness can be fully explained by the new seven criteria of life defined in autognorics, and do not require a soul. Collectively, these arguments question the traditional notion of the soul, suggesting it is unnecessary to explain human experiences.
Introduction:
This study investigates the hypothesis that the soul, as traditionally conceived, does not exist when scrutinized through the frameworks of classical and modern physics. By employing the foundational principles of Newtonian mechanics, this research critically examines the concept of the soul and its purported interactions with the physical world.
The hypothesis posits that if the soul can separate from the physical body and float freely, it must be unaffected by gravity. Consequently, if the soul is unaffected by gravity, it implies that it has no mass or weight. Without mass or weight, the soul cannot possess motion, and thus, it lacks the capability to separate from the body.
Therefore, upon death, the body ceases to function, but the soul remains at the location of death. Given the Earth's orbit around the sun, the soul would be left floating in space as the Earth moves away from the position where the individual died.
Furthermore, personal experiences with astral projection, where the feet separate from the body first and the head last, contradict existing studies on out-of-body experiences, which suggest the head separates first and the feet last. This discrepancy highlights the need for further investigation into the nature of the soul and its interactions with the physical realm.
Conclusion:
The study aims to demonstrate that the concept of the soul, as an immaterial and independent entity, is incompatible with the established laws of motion and other physical principles. By providing a comprehensive mathematical computation, through units of measurement, formula derivations, and dimensional analysis, this thesis seeks to contribute to the ongoing debate about the nature of consciousness and the existence of the soul.

“A Critical Examination of the Soul and Consciousness Through the Laws of Motion: Analyzing the Hypothesis of Non-Material Entities and their Interactions with the Physical World” This research investigates the hypothesis that the soul, traditionally conceived as the mind, consciousness, emotions, needs, and non-material entities, does not exist when examined through the frameworks of classical and modern physics. Utilizing the foundational principles of Newtonian mechanics, particularly Newton’s Second Law, the study critically analyzes the concept of the soul and its purported interactions with the physical world. Newton’s Second Law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F=ma). The hypothesis suggests that if the soul, as a non-material being, can separate from the physical body and float freely, it must be unaffected by gravity. This implies that the soul has no mass or weight. Without mass, the soul cannot experience force or acceleration, and thus, it lacks the capability to separate from the body. Consequently, upon death, while the body ceases to function, the soul remains at the location of death. Given the Earth’s orbit around the sun, the soul would be left floating in space as the Earth moves away from the position of the deceased.
This study aims to bridge the gap between metaphysical concepts and empirical science by rigorously testing the hypothesis through experimental and theoretical frameworks. By leveraging Newton’s Second Law, the research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the interactions, or lack thereof, between the soul and the physical world. The findings of this study could have profound implications for our understanding of consciousness, the nature of existence, and the boundaries of scientific inquiry. Through this investigation, we hope to contribute to the ongoing dialogue between science and philosophy, offering new insights into one of humanity’s oldest questions.
René Descartes is one of the most famous proponents of dualism. He argued that the mind (or soul) and body are distinct entities that interact with each other. According to Descartes, the soul is immaterial and non-physical, while the body is material and physical. Materialists believe that everything, including the mind and soul, can be explained in terms of physical processes. They argue that what we call the “soul” is simply a product of brain activity and that consciousness arises from complex interactions within the brain. Panpsychism is the view that consciousness is a fundamental and ubiquitous aspect of the universe. Philosophers like Alfred North Whitehead and more recently David Chalmers have explored this idea, suggesting that even the smallest particles might have some form of consciousness. Panpsychism is a fascinating and somewhat unconventional philosophical perspective that suggests consciousness is a fundamental and ubiquitous aspect of the universe Panpsychism posits that consciousness is not limited to humans or animals but is a basic feature of all matter. This means that even the smallest particles, like atoms or electrons, have some form of consciousness or experience. One of the main motivations for panpsychism is the “hard problem of consciousness,” a term coined by David Chalmers. This problem refers to the difficulty of explaining how and why physical processes in the brain give rise to subjective experiences. Panpsychism offers a potential solution by suggesting that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of reality, not something that emerges from physical processes. Critics also point out the lack of empirical evidence for panpsychism. Since consciousness in particles or simple systems is not directly observable, it remains a largely theoretical and speculative idea.
Joey Lawsin proposes an intriguing approach to consciousness in his work, particularly in his book “The Making of a Conscious Machine.” He challenges the conventional view that the brain is the sole source of awareness and consciousness. Instead, he suggests that consciousness can arise from biological sensors that have the inherent ability to store and retrieve information independently of neurons or the brain12. Lawsin’s theory, known as the Aneural Approach, posits that awareness and consciousness can be achieved through a network of intuitive logics and biological sensors. This approach is part of a broader field he calls Autognorics, which focuses on creating sentient machines capable of sensing, thinking, and even experiencing emotions12. Joey Lawsin’s Brein Theory is a fascinating paradigm that challenges traditional views on consciousness and intelligence. Here are some key points: Aneural Brain Concept: Lawsin proposes that intelligence, behaviors, perceptions, awareness, and consciousness can be processed without the need for a brain. This is known as the Aneural Brain1. Inscription by Design: This concept suggests that everything, including existence and consciousness, can be explained by the laws of inscription and emergence. Actions and behaviors of objects are influenced by their intuitive materials and embedded instructions1. Generated Interim Emergence: This theory posits that consciousness and other mental states are generated interims that emerge due to the presence of intuitive objects1. Seven Evolutionary Criteria of Life: Lawsin introduces new criteria for life, including mechanical aliveness, sensoric awareness, logical intuitiveness, aneural consciousness, information inlearness, symbiotic living, and self-emergence1. Lawsin’s work is part of a broader field he calls Autognorics, which focuses on creating sentient machines capable of sensing, thinking, and experiencing emotions2. Joey Lawsin’s Seven Non-Biological Criteria of Life are part of his broader theories on consciousness and engineered lifeforms. These criteria outline the essential characteristics that define life according to his research1: Mechanical Aliveness: The ability to perform basic mechanical functions. Sensoric Awareness: The capacity to sense and respond to environmental stimuli. Logical Intuitiveness: The ability to process information and make decisions based on logic. Codified Consciousness: Awareness and consciousness that do not rely on a neural network. Information Inlearness: The capability to learn and store information. Symbiotic Living: The ability to live and interact symbiotically with other life forms. Self-Emergence: The property of emerging as a distinct, self-sustaining entity.
These criteria are part of Lawsin’s exploration into creating sentient machines and understanding the nature of life and consciousness1.
