we know the physics of this world, which consists of electrons, neutrons, protons, and other elementary particles. well i don't feel anything except what my body senses. that includes other people, animals, the sun, stars, and everything else. all of my feelings come from this body.
what is so special about this piece of matter? how can you connect the concept of elementary particles which can not feel anything obviously to the concept of human life? what is the magic? why life is so special? where does it come from? maybe everything else is alive, too? can it happen that the universe itself is alive "by design"? just pondering..
Life is not the pieces of matter but rather what happens between those pieces based on the road map called DNA.
Everything else is alive too.
Tachyons, barions and quarks. We experience our physical surroudings subjectively as well as objectively. Look at the clouds you know they are there but it still looks like a photograph if you haven't been there. The sun the moon the stars all rotate in an elliptical circle. The only thing special about your matter is the pyhsical space you interpret to be you. Within that you have an organ system, circulation, nervous all the way down to cell and DNA. All of these things serving a design that has taken billions of years to bring us to this point "in time". Certainly not perfect but also refined to the point of pure mystery. (for now). :)
Quotewhy do we feel ourselves?
No one else will do it for us.
hahah Rebis.. always in the gutter.. for shame...
:P
Yes everything is alive by a great all small degree, it all depends on your interpretion of what it is to be 'alive' life is the breath of creation or the creator and from it we are manifest. the breath of life, why you feel like you is like why I feel like me we are the same like peas in a pod, only different.
I keep to feeling myself because I once tried to feel another person and got my hand slapped.
If nobody is going to further this discussion, this is what you can expect from me.
