What you have to realize is the brain is extremely complex and flawed. It is capable of extreme delusions that can seem 100% real, but they are in fact just prducts of an imperfect brain. You are operating under the assumption that your senses can be completely trusted, but in reality you must question everything your brain seems to perceive.
Also, you are perceiving patterns in your life that are actually meaningless such as the meanings behind certain songs as if they have a bigger significance than they actually do. This is product of evolution, because it was better for survival to perceive patterns that weren't really there as opposed to missing something that really was there. Therefore our minds have been conditioned through evolution to see patterns that aren't really there as a survival mechanism.
okay...WHO's told you all that crap? oh,i already know-a scientist!am i right,my heathen friend?look 'heathen' up in the dictionary....'no respect for god'[not jesus/christ etc...]
the argument you have given is exactly HOW satan has possessed scientists to develop their THEORIES surrounding the brain and its function. in actuality,doctors/scientists STILL don't know what 90% of the brain is for. and i do know what i'm on about-my psych nurse told me just last year!SHE was catholic too!even she said 'you might be the messiah'!!!MIGHT!!!!!
How would YOU explain the idea of 'dreams' then? they are KNOWN to have symbolic meanings to them,hence the dream dictionaries on the market!
products of an imperfect brain??!!?? didn't the zeus lightning bolt/star of wonder/shower of gold mean a single thing to you???in the words of danny zucco-'PLEEEASE!!'
you can't bullshit a bullshitter!lol!
"but in reality you must question everything your brain seems to perceive."
i did actually,on my first discharge from psych ward into supported accommodation....at the end of the road with my flat in there was a 'gospel hall'!NO JOKE.
