To continue in this conversation we also have to deconstruct our ideas
about what is 'supernatural' and what we described as 'God'. Previously someone stated in this thread that religion is a crutch or means to control the masses (correct me if I am misquoting). God does not mean the same thing in all religions, and is not necessarily an "opiate" or a "crutch" depending on your experiences of it. All religions were not based on faith or belief. Within a lot of religious material there is information related to how to unlock unmanifested potential hidden in the psyche of people. Compare your King James Bible to your Golden Bough Rosicrucian books, your Keys of Solomon, etc.
We also have to remember that the Law of Casuality (one thing acts on another, which in turn creates an "effect" or an "event") as most people understand i does not apply to all of physical reality. (Go to your local video store and rent the movie, What the Bleep?Down the Rabbit Hole or read anything on quantum physics by Einstein and Max Planck.) Our concepts of time, or the idea that all things are solid objects, do not apply to all of physical reality.
Pick up any manuals on nanotechnology or quantum physics and you will see what I mean.
However, if consciousness an effect produced by our brains, and neurons, how is it able to affect other objects beyond my body? How is it able to affect things in my environment? Why is it that psychologists and psychobiologists have not been able to find the source of consciousness in the brain?
