Too difficult to digest.

David Byrne asks in his journal, "What if there is no self?" He rightfully suggests that we've developed methods to seriously deceive ourselves. We use religion to satisfy the parts of ourselves that we can never access. But if I were to follow along with Byrne, I'd find it hard to digest the multitudes of possibilities we couldn't possibly achieve because our brains aren't hardwired for it.

He even suggests that we are no better than animals or insects. He wonders with skepticism that creatures other than ourselves could possibly have things that make us who we are. I disagree with him dearly. There is not a single life form on this planet that doesn't have a soul. Further, souls have no human concept of intelligence, rather they are the utmost in the the energies of wisdom, and harmonious union with everything in this plane of existence.
