<p>A few nights ago I was spending some time with a friend of mine, and we were sharing a dialogue about who we are, what we are, what our existence is, and we deduced that we must be unique in some way outside of our bodies (i.e. our spirits).
<p>If everybody's heart works the same as everyone else, if everyone's lungs work the same as everyone else, then why does everyones brain work differently? We all have the same chemicals and reactions causing certain changes in our bodies, but we all think differently. For example if one hundred people we in a room and the lights went off and Pink Floyd started playing on the radio, people would imagine different things, even though we are subject to the same environment.
<p>This all leads me to believe that we all really do have unique spirits that govern our bodies further than our brains. In my pondering I have come to realize that the brain is only an instrument created to transpose our spiritual thought into physical thought, thus giving us the means to exist in this plane of existence. The truth is that we are all part of one unified existence after this life, and we are only separated by our physical bodies. In death will come an amazing trancendence into the unified plane that we are all trying so hard to reach through our lives. Perhaps death is the award that we win for living our lives, not a terrible ending of an existence.
