Yes I did indeed give this some pondering time last night and my pondering lead me to the conclusion that perhaps what Vam is talking about is what we call the soul.
There may be something in what you say Allan, there may not be. The problem I have with your interpretation is really just this bit: 'So it is occurring to me that if you take these individual cells and combine them into a body there would be no reason to expect anything more than a functioning blob of cells in the form of a body.' We know for example that when we mix certian chemicals together we can get all sorts of reactions, we know also that when we add electricity into the mix then all sorts of weird and wonderfull things can happen. So it is not beyond the realms of possiblity that all of the cells in the brain along with the chemical cocktail and electricity can and I suggest does create conciousness. A further reason why I say this is because I do not belive that the soul is in any way made of matter.
