i wouldn't deny that all kinds of stuff can go on at a brain level - some psychotic states i would see as regressive & primarily concerning brain function. But to me it isn't the full picture - especially regarding the areas of consciousness.
I think we pretty much agree on this.
I am aware that psychological and biological are not opposites. I studied psychology in university. I see that I wasn't very clear in my post though.
