“People don’t want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.” - Chuck Palahniuk

I'm busy painting and sanding again, and this gives me time to think about things which pop into my head. I'm still curious as hell as to what makes us tick. Is all we what we are located inside the brain? Is that all that life and it's experiences are, just a sequence of electrical impulses and chemical responses? I sure hope not. That thought doesn't mesh well with my romantic ideas of our thoughts and souls being connected to a holographic universe. My minor experimentation with remote viewing and "esp" seems to agree more with connections between our brains and "something" else (such as a holographic storage medium).

Okay... so maybe I'm thinking to much. :)

But what if there is much, much more to us than just living flesh and electrical impulses? There must be something more which makes us think about ourselves, makes us fall in love, and makes us wonder...
