Jesus Christ & the Phenomenon of Mind

In reading the gospel book of Luke there is an account of the Lord on the cross. Obviously Jesus Christ was personally experiencing pain abundantly. The account of how the Lord experienced that temporal phenomena is a valuable insight into His attitude toward the phenomenality of mind and it's relation to the body.

Cartesian philosophical duality aside the mind does seem like a stranger to the body sometimes during extreme insult to the body. As the body fails in health as it inevitably will ,one becomes aware that the mind has an unstable, finite temporal vehicle for support. The mind too shuts down as the body dies. Some find that thought troubling, while others anticipate that it is like going to sleep. The Lord, according to the account provided by the Apostle Luke, commended his Spirit unto God before his mind too, died.

Today, in the era of quantum mechanics and the advent of quantum computing, even today when news of the first full mapping of the brain has been completed by science

it might be easier for people to form even a technical idea of how it might be possible to reassemble or resurrect the mind of a human from stored information. It is easy to comprehend that an omnipotent God would have no trouble at all resurrecting the human spirit (whatever that is-even the data mapping of a mind).

As the Lord experienced the agony of the crucifixion and its aftermath it might have been something of a relief to actual feel the impending relief from the pain of life. It is in life that the pain was so intense, and in death-that the Lord evidently experienced completely as he needed to rely upon God the Father to manage His Spirit after death-that the victory of the Lord appeared. The Lord Jesus was resurrected on the third day after his death. That was a victory for all of the elect.

quote from the King James version...

Luke 23: " 40But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

43And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

44And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

45And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

46And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."
