but the mind holds the reasoning behinds actions, and the complex feelings a person has. It is basically what makes a person who he is, and controls his actions as a person. The brain only tells the body to carry out these actions. I think that introspection is another good explanation for dualism being more attractive to me. Introspection was explained to be a sort of mental state, like when you know you have a desire for something to eat. If this occurs, ones mind will tell his brain to make the body get up and get food to eat. I do not think that the brain is capable of having that feeling of hunger, there might be a reaction in the brain to the stomach being empty, but I believe the actual feeling is in the brain. A person has no way of knowing the actual brain process, it can not be felt. That is an act that can only take place in ones mind. The actual wanting of food is going to be happening in the mind, not the brain.

Mental powers such as telepathy, precognition, telekinesis, and clairvoyance are all near impossible to explain within the boundaries of the physical brain. These phenomena reflect the nonphysical and supernatural nature that dualism gives to the mind. Due to the fact that I believe these phenomena are real occurrences, it seems logical to me that parapsychology is an excellent argument for dualism. The brain has no processes which can explain these events; the ability to do any one of these is not something which can be detected by sensors. Therefore, they go beyond the physical capabilities of the body, the only place they can originate is the mind. The divisibility argument is also a reasonable argument which makes me think that that mind and brain are separate. According to this argument, the brain ...
