The brain and life

Our feelings, our vision, our relationships, our spirits, how much of our lives are controlled by mere chemical reactions in our brain? Is our intellect calculated by the number of connections our neurons share in our brain? Is our ability to learn rated by how fast our brain can induce new and stronger connections? Are all of the feelings we have, love, hate, joy, fear, sorrow, just our brain releasing chemicals into our body that cause our body to feel and act differently? Is there a physical connection in our brain that locks our spiritual and physical potentials? If we learned so much in the pre-mortal existence, how do we not remember it? Is there a physical barrier in our brain? If Spirit is matter, are there specific neurons in our brain that are sensitive to it? Are the feelings of the spirit we feel more reactions caused by the spiritual matter to release more hormones into our body? Is it really this simple to have a mere physical connection between our body and spirit in which God, angels and other heavenly beings can communicate with us? Are there connections between these spiritually sensitive neurons and our sympathetic and parasympathetic systems to activate fear related warnings from The Holy spirit, or the calming feeling of helping a friend in need?

This is a theory I have been working on lately. The thought came to me yesterday as my father was discussing the need for people to work in groups with me. The details of our discussion were this:
W all have our IQ's and they are all different. Some may have an IQ of 100 or 90 or even 130. If you work alone, you are limited to just an IQ of what you have. If you work in a group of people who all have different IQ's then you are, as a group, actually more intelligent and the groups IQ is actually added together to equate a higher IQ. My dad related a story to help explain this phenomenon.
Abraham Lincoln is known around the world as the best president ever elected into office. This is because of his extreme humility. He invited people that had opposite views from him to be in his office. By doing this he took his own ideas and IQ and added it to the IQ and thoughts of someone who had a completely different knowledge than he did. These kind of people filled his office. Lincoln had an office of such diverse thoughts, opinions, and IQ's that when they all worked together to solve a problem, their shared IQ was so high, that the best answer to every solution always came, and everybody was happy with it. My father went on to explain to me that if these intelligent men could combine to have a great IQ, then imagine if we could combine our IQ with the Lord's. My IQ, which i don't know at the moment, plus God's IQ, which is infinity, added together equals infinity. I could have infinity IQ if I just listened.

The thought came to me as i was pondering the ways that God communicates with us. "What if there are actual neurons that are sensitive to spiritual matter?" I thought. This would explain why it is easier to hear the gentle whispers of the spirit as we practice it more, and also why it gets harder when we don't. There could be a physical change in our brain that makes us more susceptible to the spirit, making it easier for God to teach, warn and guide us.

In conclusion, I now believe there to be a physical path in our brain in which God can communicate with us. He can feed us feelings, warnings, knowledge, praise, condemnation, and even glory.

This has been a moment inside the mind of Nate.
