The ‘Why’ of Identity by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
THERE IS A SPIRIT within every human being born. It is a spirit of life and has a unique identity: me and you. This is a conscious awareness that develops in our organic brains. Neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran says, “Any single brain, including yours, is made up of atoms that were forged in the hearts of countless, far-flung stars billions of years ago. These particles drifted for eons and light-years until gravity and chance brought them together here, now. These atoms (making up the brain) can not only ponder the very stars that gave it birth but can also think about its own ability to think and wonder about its own ability to wonder. With the arrival of humans, it has been said, the universe has suddenly become conscious of itself. This, truly, is the greatest mystery of all.”
