could it be... If our brains work on electrical impulses sent around the body, and everything we know about the world is gathered through input devices run by these electrical impulses (all senses) and we feel different emotions based on these impulses intaking information and releasing chemicals from glands in our brain, and these emotions can be altered by chemicals added to this system(drugs of all kinds) then there has to be a direct connection between the physical and spiritual therefor making this soul we hold so dearly a completely physical element. if all we know is gained through photons bouncing from a retena, vibrating hairs in ears, vibration on sensors on the skin... if all this is collected and stored and referenced at our will, which establishes the base for our emotional and intelectual state, then the soul is not a mysterious other force that is incomprehendable. it has to adhere to the laws of physics as all we are and feel comes from electricity which is goverened by physics which is governed by mathematics, which is what we use to explain things because its how we work, we all are interconnected because the information we collect is relative to the information others collect and all effects everything in someway "flap of a butterfly wing" if i hate you and tell you this you will feel something. this will alter your data and therefore alter the world. god is the all inclusive picture, the entire mathematical formula. our purpose is to keep the formula calculating. It matters not how u alter it, this is why there will always be a struggle between good and evil. there is nothing wrong with being evil, you are doing what u are intended, it is just we humans who want an easy time and therefore seperate god in to two seperate deities. god and satan. both are one and the same and have no preference as to how things work, just so long as they continue. we make god the good one. the one we should all be like, the conscept of god is an ideal vision of how things can be, not how things will be. satan is the boogieman used to frighten people into staying under control by society and the church and our parents and anyone who feels the need to control you. both ethical sides alter the formula and keep it goin even if it makes things more unpleasant for some. if we are purely mathematical beings, it explains why suicide is not an option... numbers can not dissapear or appear from nowhere, but...they can be cancelled out. the only thing that can cancel you out is something exactly equal to you. it is the only way to never exist again. if u die naturally you're data is redistributed in the formula, much like evaporation. we see little models of how the big things work in the universe, we shrug it off as something unrelated but in the end it is all relative, and its all real. music theory is the model i used to begin this train of thought, circular, infinite, emotional, both complex and simple, and pure mathematics. bet u never thought maths could make you feel... in short everybody is right about everything because it really doesnt matter how you put it, its all the same thing. god, allah, enlightenment, satan, maths, godess whatever... we cannot draw the outside of this room.
