We have a area in the brain which is made to handle religious experiances. I guess that it is because we need to have a sense of meaning, that what we do is meaningful and for a purpouse higher than ourselves.
I think this has to do with the development that we went through to establish our current system of interpreting things, then we had meaning cause we had to find the way to learn and find the way to comprehend everything, but now as we've allready learnt most of the things that we have to learn, we find ourselves lost, because we've forgotten that it had a higher purpouse to begin with. Since we've gone so far in our way, the beginning fades away into nothingness, and we can't see and pin-point the cause of our search, and therefor forget why we took the way we did, because of that we don't know which way to continue.
But we have a guide, the feelings that we have are remains of the beginning, the first cause, our "mission", the truth goes around, as we come closer to the truth we come closer to our original purpouse and can feel it from the beginning to the end (cause they are at the same place on the "circle"). Children are very close to the beginning, and therefor very close to the end, and can see what they should have done in the end and make it right in life, why do most children believe that they will live forever? Maybe because they see how they should have done in the end and because that is so simple and true that they think that we never can forget it...so they forget it...what's undoubtable is often absorbed into a feeling, so to search the truth is to follow our feelings.
When we try to find the truth's then we often try to figure out how we look physically, and look at how the brain works, how the universe works and so on... but maybe we should take a look beneath the surface? Finding the original essence behind all shells?
