The big question then becomes: Do we only exist as long as our brain functions? What is the point of a soul, if everything we are, is imprinted into a brain? What is the purpose of a soul, if we loose who we were with the death of our human bodies.... The conclusion drawn from this, is that we do not have souls. Thus:
If the above statements are all true and a body is all that we are, then everything we are experiencing now is meaningless. It's also possible that the reality we experience, isn't real at all. Just like a movie with fictional characters set in a world your brain weaves together.
How can we exist without a purpose, and why is our brief existence followed by a return to nothingness? Yet, here we are... looking out of a body; experiencing a reality that your brain puts together second by second.
I keep asking myself - "Why am I, looking out of this body... why me? What need is there for me to experience this body, if there is only death in my reality after this. Why couldn't this body just move around without me 'being inside of it', like all the other people I see around me". I ask the same question on behalf of everyone else. What is the point in having anyone 'see out of a body' to experience the sweetness and sorrows of life, only to fade back into nothingness?
The answer: there is no point. There is no reason for us to be here. If you follow a logical thought pattern, no matter how you interpret reality, it's impossible for us to exist. If Earth did not exist, we would not be able to evolve and be here. We can argue, that if the universe didn't exist, there could not have been a big bang for the Earth to exist within. This only proves that something had to exist before something else could exist. By example: for the Universe to exist you need another 'Universe', and on top of that, perhaps a higher being or power, to set that universe in place. After which, an even higher power or being is needed, to create the power before it. For anything to exist, something had to be there before it; thus, how can God exist, how can the universe exist, and how can we exist.
Simply put, we cannot exist.... Yet, here we are, looking out of these bodies, experiencing life. We are not bodies, but we have one. We use our bodies to live in this world and this universe, the same way we use our computers to live on the internet.
So much in our universe cannot be explained. A soul could function in ways far beyond our imagination, in a reality much more amazing than the one we are experiencing now. Our bodies are amazing pieces of technology, which we control, just like a computer.
When we loose brain function, we loose our memories and we cannot recall them. Does that mean we have lost who we are? If all the wires inside of your computer, are burned down, does that mean that your data is lost? Or does it only mean that your data is unreachable? We've built computers, we are able to extract the data from a broken hard drive, in some cases even after amazing damage. Perhaps, our souls are imprinted with our data. When our bodies break, and brain function fails, it can no longer access who we are.
Perhaps our brain exists only as a set of instructions, to guide us through reality. This works the same way a desktop of a computer would guide us through a system, by using a desktop interface and by not showing us the complex machine code hiding behind the scenes.
When our computers crash and break... do we loose who we are? We don't, because we were not part of it, we were only using it.
We are souls, but we have a body. We undeniably need a purpose to exist - or we simply wouldn't be here. Yet, here we are.
