This is spiritual science. Science can be very spiritual. About that consciousness thing. About that thing we call God. About that thing we call I. Humans are not alone in our capacity for self-awareness. We are part of a larger family of self-aware social animals that includes elephants and dolphins. Perhaps other highly intelligent social creatures attempt to understand things in terms of the intentionality of other beings, seen or unseen? Its built-in to our biological capacity for reason. Our highly functional social brain in childhood confabulates purposes for things that make sense but may have nothing to do with the real causes or creators of things. We tell ourselves little stories that make sense about all the objects in our environment. Its how were so good at making things useful for ourselves and others.
