haha you're right questioning whether machines have spirits was not really on my mind when i started this thread no.
reading these books seems to have really given me perspective on how to focus a laser on my beliefs, and work with the ones that turnover the biggest results in my life.
I hit an area of social drag a while ago, where communicating with friends became very difficult because they would see me as this character they've built up in their mind, and not respond well when i broke the continuity of that character.
I wanted to know if there were other people out there experiencing events like that and how you dealt with what was happening, and the turn out.

But a discussion on consciousness can be fun, I see the consciousness at the connection between mind and body, like a chemical reaction that happens when two reactives are combined, and the big bubbly reaction functions in a way neither of the two chemicals would have otherwise.
