You [George] say: "There are parts of our brain where we have some control over our thoughts (probably the frontal lobes) and there are other parts that work subconsciously, as in dreams." David agrees. So do I. And that is where my problem begins. What is this "we"? WHAT controls the thoughts? What is it that intentionally impels the ions to "travel along branches of the cell and impart information that create an activity"? What makes the "tiny living computer" function? And as regards the parts that work subconsciously, what is it that involuntarily sparks the electricity and translates it into thoughts and images? - Of course everything that sparks is sparked by the sun, or better said the play of the light with the dark. Everything comes from the light/dark source, because without darkness, there is no light (said the darkness). So, everything comes from light playing in/with the dark. - My brother once pondered, which came first, the dark or the light? He concluded, one could only exist because of the other. So, possibly, there once existed dark and light, and thru time, they both happily agreed to mix and mingle and play well together creating what WE are. But one day, creation asked; where did the spark of idenity come from first which said, "I am?" The light of course, being mouthy said, twas me, I am creator of all that IS. The dark, of course, said...uh...excuse me? - Could it have been the light which spoke first? And really, why would it matter who spoke first because one is not without the other (the dark says and the light must agree!) Of course, once the question was spoken, who came first, or whose idea was it first to speak, the dark refused the lower state and said I am One, for me you would have no one to have spoken to!!! Only makes sense!!! - So, here we be...the long held fight of the dark and the light...I guess the light would win if the light could do without the dark because the light spoke first (if it did). But, as the darkness said, there would have been no one to speak to if there were no darkness. So, we must conclude, both are interdependent, if they choose to continue along this journey of WE (creation). But alas...they have no choice, as they are, and cannot not be. - >The mystery is not what tools are used, but how they work and, above all, what is using them. - The tools are: dark and light, which we know. How do they work? they intermingle creating light and shadow...which makes up all that IS. What is using these shadows? We are. Who is/are we? Dark and light. The circle of life. Seems simple enuff-right?). What first sparked the dark and the light to create? Who knows...maybe they were always there creating together, but the fighting began for the number one spot when light and dark created man (which created religion). But, hopefully, as they are evolving, they are coming to realize there never was a #1....for without the one the other could not be. Fitting for an ending isn't it? And so, they lived happily ever after...or did they? I can just hear the light saying...I spoke to you first...that makes me first! nanananana.... Mommy wisdom says... Give it up light!!! Ok...so you are the brightest tool in the shed...i will give you that!!! But without brother darkness there is no shed!!! K???? Now, go out and play... - Ok...suddenly, all the religions make perfect sense....
