And we see systems like this in nature all the time. Your own body is comprissed of living cells - Each one is a single separate entity from its neighbours - On a very low level of existance. And if they had the ability to think and reason, I'm sure none of them would rationally believe they all comprised a greater "whole", especially if they could attribute and break down everything in their lives as mechanical/logical processes. But you know perfectly well these millions of separate entities support a higher level of intelligence. The lines are blurred when you look at things like termites nests - Where the individual termites comprise "nest/hive consiousness" - With the queen as the reproductive organs, the workers as the hands and feet, etc..... |

Oh time does exist - It's just not linear in the way we perceive it in the middle dimensions. |

what the "self" is really depends on how you believe you originated. if you are to believe that you, or all of mankind was created by a fully cognisant god of some sort, then you'd be a design, a concept. if you are to believe that there is no "higher power" then you'd really be nothing more than an random occurence.. .basically a product of a system of orderliness. you might consider the two to be nearly one in the same.. but you'd think a god could "see" the future in a way that a chaotic system of "cause and effect" couldn't.. but really.. how do you define (a) god? and how would that really be different than a seemingly random system of conditions and conventions? |

buddhist principles state that only through detachment from the self can one be aware of absolute truth (or, god) |

I think therefore I am. Descartes summed it up. |

I still do not know what cognitive process has to do with existance of something. I dislike Descartes because he stressed his thoughts to prove god's existance. His philosophy is like a world seen through different shades of light. Ideas are good, then religion thing screws it up completely. I wish he was born in different time and in different environment. |
