By day, I am a software developer who has worked in the accounting, eCommerce, industrial automation, and currently the credit card processing industries. My passion is philosophy of mind. By night I research and write about the nature of mind and decision making from a Christian perspective. I have a bachelors degree in economics from the University of Illinois.

Consciousness...the Final Frontier

Consciousness...exploring the true nature of mind or "inner space", truly is the final frontier of science. Where is your mind...is your mind created by your brain...does your brain crate your mind? Such questions have occupied my thoughts ever since I was a teenager. I truly believe they are some of the most important questions one can ask...and strive to get real answers to. What we believe about such questions shape the decisions that we make, moment by moment, whether we are aware of it or not, and regardless of whether one has even contemplated such questions before. Where do you go when you die? If our minds are created by our brains, then when you die and your brain decays...you...meaning your mind with all of its' thoughts, memories, emotions, dreams, goals, and desires...ceases to exist forever. If however, our minds are not created by a brain or any other physical process... if our minds are spiritual in nature...then suddenly an afterlife becomes a very real possibility. Obviously, a person who believves that when they breathe their last breath, that is it...their life is over, is going to be motivated to make different decisions than a person who believes that their life is eternal.

 

According to Webster’s dictionary, the word economy comes from the Greek word oikonomia. Oikonomia comes from the word oikonomos, meaning household manager. The word economy in its original form meant, the “management of household or private affairs and especially expenses”.

This book establishes reasons for believing in the existence of a non-material mind. The existence of a non-material mind is then presented as the basis for economic decision making, ethics, law, and aesthetics.
