" clarity nor LUCIDITY
to make his points clear and convincing
그 교수는 그의 햄심을 명확하고 자신있게 만드는데
구체성도 명확성도 없는 말을 했다.
아주 오래 전에 방송국 PD 로 있을 때
선배가 한 말이 기억난다.
"좋은 신문 기사를 그대로 인용하면
My first broadcasting program was almost failed wanting in LUCIDITY.
나의 첫 방송 프로그램은 정확성 부족으로 거의 실패했다.
목사 생활을 오래 하고 (지금은 은퇴했지만) 많은 사람들에게
설교하고 요즈음은 youtube 방송을 하면서 이런 다짐을 해왔다
I hope my lecture on YouTube to be combined
intellectual LUCIDITY and passion by using easy and plain language.
나는 쉽고 단순한 언어를 사용하므로 내 YouTube 방송 강의가
지적으로 명확하고 열정적이기를 희망한다
(욕심이 지나치지만 ~ )
lucidity 는 1600 년 중반의 Latin 어 lucere 가 그 뿌리인데
빛 또는 빛을 비친다는 뜻이다.
어두운 곳에서는 모르지만 빛을 비치면
먼지를 비롯한 더러운 것들이 다 들어나는 것 처럼 ~
lucidity 의 뜻 가운데 제일 마음에 드는 것은 '제정신'이다.
옛날 장수하지 못할 때 이런 말을 많이 했다
"환갑되면서 제정신이 드는가 했더니 늙어 죽더라."
늦게 철 나는 사람도 있지만
아끼던 것을 잃고 제정신이 드는 사람도 없지 않다.
This occurred to him in a moment of LUCIDITY after the money had run out.
(그가 가졌던) 돈이 다 사라진 다음에
그에게 제정신이 드는 순간이 발생했다
복작한 세대에 사는 우리는
'단숨 = 명확'이라는 공식을 믿지만 ~
Simplicity is not always a patent merit as LUCIDITY..
단순성이 언제나 명확성으로서 장점은 아니다
I try to live with much clarity of thought and LUCIDITY.
나는 많이 명확하고 뚜렷한 생각을 가지고 살려고 노력한다.

You Can't Explain Human Experience in Purely Physical Terms
Does the soul exist? Re-enchanting the world with an old idea.
Updated June 14, 2023
Reviewed by Lybi Ma
KEY POINTS
Almost every culture in history has believed in a soul, a non-physical aspect of identity.
Nowadays such concept may seem naive, in the light of the modern 'physicalist' view of the world.
Physicalism cannot explain consciousness, near-experiences, and 'terminal lucidity' and many other phenomena.

When you’re not achieving your goals, you might try to re-examine what they are or change your strategy.
But what if your goals and strategy are mental events whose lucidity and complexity depend on something outside your brain?
Can you clarify, amplify, and channel the “goal” and “strategy” signals from the outside into your brain? *
lucidity (n.)
1650s, "brightness," from French lucidité, from Late Latin luciditas, from Latin lucidus "light, bright, clear," from lucere "to shine," from PIE *louk-eyo-, suffixed (iterative) form of root *leuk- "light, brightness." Meaning "intellectual clarity, transparency of expression" is by 1851.
also from 1650s
The idea of a “soul” runs through our language and culture. We talk about soulmates, soul-searching, and those who have a “good soul.”
In these contexts, the soul refers to the essence of a person, a deep aspect of our identity beneath our surface personality.
The word soul derives from the Old Hugh German seula, which was a translation by early Christian missionaries of the Greek word psyche. The ancient Greeks believed that the psyche was the source of life and consciousness. It was distinct from the body and thought to be immortal.

Most religions throughout history have held a similar view, that the soul is of a different nature to the body, inhabiting it like a genie in a bottle.
Until the 19th century, almost every culture in human history took for granted that the essence of human identity was non-physical and would survive the death of the body.
Many religions envisage the afterlife as a paradise where the soul attains the fulfilment and happiness that eludes us during our physical lives. This may partly explain why the concept of the soul developed, or at least became prevalent.
Physicalism, a Modern Worldview
From a modern perspective, these notions of the soul or an afterlife may seem naive. Surely, we now know that there is no such thing as the soul or spirit, that human beings are mere meat machines—and that human identity or consciousness is just produced by neurological activity? Of course, this also means that there cannot be an afterlife, since human consciousness cannot outlive the brain that produces it.
Philosophically speaking, this modern worldview is known as materialism or physicalism—the belief that the universe is fundamentally physical, consisting of material particles and physical forces.1
Although it may seem that we have some non-physical experiences, such as thoughts and feelings, these can be explained in physical terms. Thoughts may simply be the result of electrical signals produced by neurotransmitters. Feelings such as hope, love, and sadness may simply be due to neurological activity.2

The Problem of Consciousness
However, even if some pre-modern concepts of the soul were naive, there are serious problems with physicalism too. Physicalism cannot fully account for human experience, or fully explain the world we live in.3
For example, despite decades of rigorous research, no one has any clear notion of which brain processes might be involved in consciousness. There are also many strange mismatches between brain activity and conscious experience, including cases of minimal brain activity—such as when people are in comas—where consciousness not only continues but sometimes becomes more intense than normal.
Another anomaly is the phenomenon of terminal lucidity when dying people who suffer from severe psychiatric or neurological disorders—perhaps due to dementia, a stroke, or meningitis—suddenly appear to regain full awareness, becoming lucid and alert.
One of the most striking anomalies is near-death experiences, when people with no signs of neurological or physiological activity later report powerful conscious experiences, even claiming to recall events they have heard or seen while apparently unconscious.
THE BASICS
The Importance of Empathy

There have been numerous attempts to explain near-death experiences. One possible idea is that in these states there may be an extremely low level of continuing neurological activity, which is not picked up. However, this would still leave the problem of how extremely minimal brain activity could generate experiences that are more intense than normal consciousness.

With growing awareness of the difficulty of explaining consciousness in physical terms, more and more scientists and philosophers are considering alternative approaches. One viewpoint that has become more appealing to some philosophers—such as Susan Blackmore and Keith Frankish—is that consciousness may not actually exist, but is simply a cognitive illusion.
However, the above anomalous experiences point to another possibility: that consciousness cannot be explained in physical terms because it is essentially non-physical. It might not be wholly dependent on, or produced by, the brain—but could derive from a non-physical source.
Another Worldview
Perhaps we need to reintroduce the concept of the soul, in a more nuanced way. We should be open to the possibility that the world contains non-physical elements and is even fundamentally non-physical. It may be that consciousness is a universal and fundamental quality. It doesn’t just exist in humans or other living beings, it is everywhere and in everything. My variant of this approach, as I describe in Spiritual Science, is called pan-spiritism.4

It may be that the human brain does not actually produce consciousness but transmits it. Like a radio, the brain may “pick up” fundamental consciousness from the space around us and transmit it to us, so that we become individually conscious.
This could help to explain why we can sense each other’s feelings through empathy—because we share the same fundamental consciousness. It could also explain why consciousness can’t be precisely linked to neurological activity—because consciousness comes through the brain (rather than from it), from the space around us, and ultimately from the universe itself.

In this interpretation, the soul (or consciousness) is not independent of the body. It interacts with the brain and body, to produce our mental activity and individual identity.
According to this view, the soul isn't simply a human phenomenon, as some Christians believe. If consciousness is fundamental, then in effect the whole universe has a soul. And all things within the universe - both living and non-living - are ensouled. Every individual soul derives from and is always part of the soul of the universe; just as a stream of water is always part of the fountain that it flows from.
