For Christ's sake don't read this!

Like all of you, I've been thinking about the "soul" and existence after life and reality and all that stuff. I ended up considering that maybe in order to figure out this soul thing maybe we first need to break ourselves and our reality down.
So this is my attempt to do that
Reality is the fact that our life is predetermined. Science has discovered that actions are performed before the mind thinks about them. This potentially leads into the fact that your sense of freewill is a mere illusion and you are nothing more than narrator to the world around you and what your body chooses to do (could this narration be our soul? doubtful. Most likely just a memory bank and survival mechanism).

Reality is the fact that we are a walking talking reproductive organ. your body is nothing more than a root system for nutrients, a way of transportation, a safety device, and a way to show off health and fitness essential for providing adequate care for a family. Every organism's most basic instinct is reproduction, it's something everything strives for and our lives are based around it.

Reality is the fact that 93% of your make up is Hydrogen, Carbon, and oxygen the rest is nitrogen and calcium etc. All of these elements are composed of atoms, which breaks down into plain old energy, which everything in the entire universe is composed of. In other words us and everything around us (rocks, trees, pets etc) is a form that energy has taken through electromagnetism
. Therefor meaning that I am you and you are me and we are everyone else, or as the Mayans would say, In lak'ech.

Now considering the possibility that there is only one energy and we are all different forms of it. we could safely assume that we are everything that ever was and will be. People talk of the afterlife like it's something that hasn't happened yet, like we're not already in it. My belief is that we're already in the afterlife and there will be life after this life, though you will not remember it for that is impossible without a brain. You are energy, the same energy that makes everything else. You have existed since the beginning and you will exist forever more, for energy is neither CREATED nor DESTROYED. When it comes to having a soul, perhaps we're just not thinking big enough. Could we consider this universal energy as our soul, as god, the creator of life? if so than it would be safe to say that your soul is everyone else's, and everything else's, all united through this one universal energy.

Our memories and personalities are constructed by electrical impulses that happen throughout our brain. This electricity follows a general pattern throughout the entirety of your present life (given that you don’t suffer from brain damage).
Could we consider the possibility that subdivided souls or "personal souls" could be created? maybe. Perhaps once you die and this energy is released it will continue to flow with a similar pattern and when constructing a new life form this new being will share that similar energy pattern allowing for the possibility of a similar personalty and thoughts. Or could be the reason for ghost.

In the end, reality is the fact that we are energy and that energy is everything we have ever done, thought, saw, or believed in because energy is the only thing that is. Everything else is just collaborative Fantasy or mass belief.

  1. I love the scientific accuracy of this. This is the type of stuff that I love to see thrown into deep philosophical discussions. I'm glad you addressed this, Andrew.

    I agree with everything that was written in this post, except I would add one amendment to the last line: "...or undiscovered." The post was written in terms of absolute. The scientific method is a systematic approach that should allow for re-framing of reality to any extent.

    I guess this is where I see the merging of the sciences and philosophy.
