You seem to be saying that mental states are derived from physical states. That our thoughts and feelings are the direct result of physical processes in the body.
Don't you think consciousness has some freedom of its own? I mean, i'd never deny that doing things like getting 8 hours of sleep, eating food, or even smoking a bowl don't alter my state of mind, but what about your state of mind altering your physical state?

thats not really what i was saying, i meant like the only reason you are you is because of neurons firing off in circuits and your senses delivering information to your brain and recording it and all that crazy neurological stuff. consiousness is so hard to talk about though, i can never find the right words!

I enjoy the "man as seeds of godhood" theory myself.
are you kidding? look at it this way: we ARE seeds of god, the CHILDREN of god, we are GODS!
now...
who wants to be responsible for looking after infantile godly beings? that's a huge responsibility! i know I wouldnt appreciate having that task, and if given the option, i would prefer to turn it down!
though given my stance on personal growth, i would accept the challenge, i just wouldnt want to be responsible for screwing them up.
so really, no one wants to deal with us. we're too important. we're too envied, too hated, or too big a responsibility to want to take care of.
oh, yeah, and as for being the filth of creation, who has immaculately clean children? honnestly, what is a clean kid? a kid with no childhood :P
nah, really i was just in a bad mood..... thing.... for a looooooonnnng time... im getting out of that bad habitual sourpuss personality :P
