Cellular Minds: Your Cells Create Your Mind, Not Your Brain

By Michael Rowen

" Fascinating theory of cellular cognition, digging deep into the capacities of cells." - Publisher's Weekly Centuries of scientific research has failed to find evidence that the human mind is generated by neuronal processes in the brain. No scientific theory has ever been developed that explains, even in principle, how neuronal processes can generate the vibrant conscious experiences that we all take for granted, a mystery known as the "hard problem of consciousness". This book will review astonishing experiments in cutting edge biology and neuroscience that suggest the mind is not generated by brain processes, but by cells throughout the body. Each of the 37 trillion cells in your body is an intelligent living organism with a rudimentary mind that experiences the world inside your body, and they are networked together to form your incredibly complex human mind. It is scientific fact that cells are the building blocks of life, and now scientific evidence is suggesting that cells are also the building blocks of mind. You are your cells and your cells are you, literally and at the deepest levels of your mind and body. The view that cells are the building blocks of mind was first proposed by biologist Lynn Margulis in 1967 when she suggested that three independent microorganisms that had rudimentary minds began to live together symbiotically inside a common cellular membrane, becoming a larger more complex cellular ecosystem with a more complex collective cellular mind. These larger more complex cells are the building blocks of every multicellular organism on earth, from plants to insects to humans. Viewing cells as the building blocks of both life and mind explains a wide range of biological, neuroscientific, and evolutionary anomalies and evidence that mainstream scientific theories struggle to explain. It explains normal everyday phenomena that has defied scientific explanation for centuries such as how we experience pain and how the body heals itself. It explains mysterious phenomena such as the placebo effect, people living normal lives despite missing entire parts of their brain, unusual mental skills between conjoined twins, and even near-death experiences. It provides straightforward explanations of neuroscientific enigmas such as Libet and split-brain experiments, and resolves longstanding problems in philosophy of mind such as the combination problem, the binding problem, and the unity of conscious experience. If you are open to alternative theories of mind that better fit with the evidence gathered by modern science, then this book will open your eyes to a new way to view your mind. Your cells create your mind, not your brain.
