what is the reason for us having this intricate, ever- expanding mind? maybe it was just a part of the test protocol. if given the choice would we choose the "Eternal YES" or distract ourselves with how we got such a brain and forget the question along the way? this free choice and the rationalism that is needed for some to answer the question (others solely base it on faith) is supposedly what separates us from the rest of the animals. when we do say YES it feels as if we flow with everything, especially nature and all its creations. we sink into a greatness and the minds we hold are second rate to the energy that gently directs us along.
