Brain Drain


reading "the three pound enigma" - issues of the brain, mind and consciousness. a reoccurring theme in my waking life. using just language (and some math) can we adequately describe the source of our sentience (sensation self awareness)?
There are those who profess an astonishing hypothosis: we are just our neurons behaving.
is the soul literal or metaphorical?

Also just read or am reading deepak chopra, wendell barry, thomas lynch. Essays on the miracle of life and the "...peace that passeth all understanding." hoping for inspiration of some new tact for dealing with Life in the Aftermath of Illness / Disease.
what is the cause of suffering? what is the true nature of the divine? our best and only tool is silence?

mostly finding alot of links (books) to other classic material on the inner workings.

but the disturbing trend is how it is effecting our relationship. There is a divide that is growing. i think that these ideas should help in developing stronger bonds but the signs all point to running away!
