Even the brain is not "you", it's "yours", but not "you" (see Sadhguru's channel 😁 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcYzLCs...VHYA1sK2sw )

Yes, i know all about that. I've watched Sadhguru before but I prefer teachings form his other contemporaries.

But on that topic, spirituality is frustrating because its all talk but no evidence. The only way we can relate right now is at the level of the body. And for now that means the brain. So I believe that I have a female brain in the wrong physical body

"Where does gender originate?
In the birthing process, a medical professional will declare your baby a boy or a girl based on their sexual organs — but does this determine their gender?
“We’re trying to change the understanding of gender,” says psychiatrist Murat Altinay, MD. “That’s one of my big goals. The main question I’m asking is, ‘Where is the gender?’”
We know that as an embryo forms, the genitalia specializes into either male or female. But what about development in the brain?
“The brain and the body can go in different directions,” Dr. Altinay says. “Gender is not only in our genitalia; there’s something in the brain that determines gender.”
Male, female and transgender brains
“The male and female brain have structural differences,” he says. Men and women tend to have different volumes in certain areas of the brain.
“When we look at the transgender brain, we see that the brain resembles the gender that the person identifies as,” Dr. Altinay says. For example, a person who is born with a penis but ends up identifying as a female often actually has some of the structural characteristics of a “female” brain.
And the brain similarities aren’t only structural.
“We’re also finding some functional similarities between the transgender brain and its identified gender,” Dr. Altinay says.
In studies that use MRIs to take images of the brain as people perform tasks, the brain activity of transgender people tends to look like that of the gender they identify with."

"The evidence is in the pudding" 😁 Like you said before and I rephrazed:"You either feel it or not". The "spirituality" offers you a bunch of teachings, that can alter your perceptions. The idea is to percept more, than you percept now. And any additional perceptions adds a new perspective to the "reality". "New perspectives" means "new possibilities". Isn't it all about "evidences"? Only you can see evidences, but too see them you have to change internally.

Female brains have a much bigger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_callosum, so left and right halves are much more balanced.

Oh, have a look here: https://stanmed.stanford.edu/2017spring/...erent.html

So, most likely you have a male brain, sorry.

So what new perceptions have you had? Have you seen your soul, or maybe others ghosts/ spirits? Have you encountered non-physical dimensions?

Male brains don't think, feel or see themselves as female, lol.

Brain is just fat, fat can not think, feel or see itself as a male or female 😁

"Brains are made of soft tissue, which includes gray and white matter, containing the nerve cells, non-neuronal cells (which help to maintain neurons and brain health), and small blood vessels."

Nerve cells are not the same as fat cells 😁

But that observation aside, where then according to you do our thoughts and emotions come from? Furthermore, where does your sense of gender come from?
