i don't know if you'll see this here, but i have thought and thought about your experience with the elephant woman and you are Not reeling from the wheel in your little mousey cage. Your head, and heart, are screwed on straight. :)
this woman was being condescending and rather unprofessional. i may not recall all the details correctly (make that "I Will Not") but she seemed to have already come to a conclusion and shut her intake of info down.
What IF, our brains act as conduits for God's (or as you know, I might say gods') visions? I would be very interested to find out where the heart became the harbor for emotions and feelings in history, when it really is the brain.
The little green man thing -- as a former and occasional migraine sufferer, I can't even touch that.
Souls --- souls ---- the concept of a soul has become very romantic and fluid, whereas it was just accepted in the civilized past.
Check out the book I mentioned above to Mandy if you get a chance, even just excerpts online because I think you'll like it. The Dr. mentions that a "soul" (or the Holy Spirit in Christianity) surrounds and acts as our spiritual guide.
My Mom made a nice comment as we slowly battle through this whole thing... she said when we die, our brain stays here just like all our other lovely pieces. So it could only be another "thing", a soul, that flitted into heavenly, or hellish, realms.
SO, our brain acts as a conduit while we're here to filter these messages from God perhaps, to give us the needed emotions to survive, and to do God knows what. :)
And sometimes it's not perfect. And it must get tired.
much love,
