Good point...."Is this life" perhaps this life is not the reality at all..people only seem to think that what they can see, touch, feel and think IS reality....we only use a part of our brains and are limited in doing so as to the real reality of life...there is so much we can not even fathom about thinking yet..

Ofcourse, the very notion that we have brains at all is an aspect of our perception, and if we cannot trust our perception, then how do we know that we have any kind of physical brain.

Clearly, the notion that 'I think, therefore I am' implies we have some mechanism for managing thoughts, but whether such a mechanism is a brain in any physical sense of the word cannot be known without placing trust in our senses in some way.

our brain is another organ/muscle in our body, but not our essence or spirit...so i guess it would be what really is real...what we see and "think" with our brains or what we feel as in sight not with our eyes but rather our sences??

how can one thing be right if so many people see it differently?
