Well it's the age-old question isn't it?

where exactly do we get our sentience from? Do we consider having a souls, when we become aware of ourselves and are able to conprehend who we are?

It's a very very tough thing , I have to agree, but i do believe that humans as a whole do have some kind of "soul", or a defining conciousness, that makes us who we are and can perhaps survive after the body has expired.

The brain is the most complext and mysterious organs in the human body, and we still dont know a lot about what most of it does.

I do remember reading somewhere, I can't recall where, that are bodies are "containers for souls", that our essence is what really matters and the body is only a shelll.
Were this to be really true, it would be wonderful to imagine, but we really don;t know, and that is the greatest mystery of all.
