I always thought the subconscious is the soul, always with you, the quite voice of common sense, the measure to draw one back from making rash decisions or acts...

Hubris is a wonderfull thing when we can laugh at it but assuming that 'one knows it all' now-time is nothing short of the patently pointed ridiculous.

We dont know what the universe is comprised of or where it is because we have only just begun to ask questions and wake up to the fact that there is more to the world than we are currently capable of understanding.
So we joke about it all.

Souls are in every race mythology as are spirits and so on, the concept is frighteningly consistant and implicit, enough so as to raise these types of questions.
The God thing isnt though..which I guess, speaks for itself (sure, insist that anothers races view is merely a misunderstanding of one cultures hubris in assuming that their interpretation is the only one or better yet, quote unfathomable sources to justify a so called scientific view but keep in mind, any scientific view quoted wont be the actual words or text used by the scientists themselves, they are all well aware of the massive shortcomings of their measuring system.

Many of us have memories as children of events that could not possibly have occured in their present lifetime, many have 'experiences' that are totally unexplainable and yet many more know deep inside of themselves that accountability at some point will occur, where do we get these from I wonder.

At tis time the question of a controlling consciousness n an individual level as expressed here is currently beingexamined by ventures in virtual reality, we are creating a universe peopled by characters with their ownlives in which we can take control of, doesnt that sound familiar?.

What would another 10 years give us? Maybe not an answer to this question but certainly a better appreciation of the question itself.
