I wonder: Are you by any chance breaking down? D-fens style? ( ;o) ) As for the soul, I can't comment but about the free will, wouldn't you think that perhaps a minimum of sensation and processing/storage abilities would come in handy?

Will Rogers, The Autography of Will Rogers -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Pa vegne af [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 9. juli 2002 09:43 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: OT: (~) Cells, and L'Engle My idea is that cellular beings, in a human body or as bacteria have souls and even have free will. Any organism that has sensory input has free will and a soul. There are a freakish number of very beautiful female children in my neighborhood and in my family, as some sort of pointer to something. I think, that on a subconscious level, "sub" here really meaning "lower and not the equivalent of consciousness", each cell expresses it's free will, the collective of which is the human body, and somewhere in there is the human mind and individual human soul. Something is pleasing the very cells in our bodies, at least proximous to mine. And something displeased the body cells of Americans to make them fat and ugly both physically and mentally, as groups of cells in a body get messages from the response center through the brain's messengers. That is, I look in the mirror, my brain realizes that I'm fat, but not fat enough, so it send messages out to feel lousy and hungry at the same time, and to maintain the fat lifestyle because of feedback loops in the body [homeostasis] and in the mind [psychostasis or whatever you want to spend 50 cents on]. Is it or was it guilt over something they may or may not have done? I don't know. I'm in no position to confirm. It is all conjecture, no evidence, or even logic behind the suppositions, other than faith in my own intuition.
