Ghost 1 I agree...it's not really something that comes down to opinion....here's the real question....is the separation between brain and mind a phenomena of evolution or the supernatural?
I think we experience this because our brains are so much more advanced than any other living being on earth, like it's not even close....the human brain is the most advanced system known in the universe. Including the universe it's fucking self. The evidence of this is that we contemplate the universe. That's a crazy thing for us to be doing. Evidence suggests that the only way for our primate ancestors to not just stay alive, but thrive...was to be the smartest....we were never the strongest, or the biggest (still aren't, a lion gon' fuck us up...but we use our brains to trap that lion and make it our bitch) but we were the most intelligent...and it just kept growing. The reason we are top of the food chain is undoubtedly our brains. Out of that evolution came the mind...from which came the natural outcome of pushing the brain to it's limits...consciousness. I believe (and I guess you don't) that it could have happened to any moderately intelligent animal back in the day....it just so happened it was our ancestors.
