It's complex

I read something about the God Complex. It’s apparently in our head, the part that experiences emotions.

I can understand how scared the author could be when he was writing about this. But understandably so. Although, for the purposes he set out, I guess it makes sense to put this topic into the book. The book is rooted in research. And research says that we have a God Complex in our heads. When we have out-of-body experiences, a region in your brain is stimulated, apparently the same place would also be stimulated when a sufferer of epilepsy would be in seizure or something. Specifically, the part of the brain that controls emotions is stimulated. That’s why God is felt, not known.

But isn’t it weird? We’re talking about out-of-body experiences here, and SCIENCE. Usually those things are separate. You have to be in a different state of mind to talk about one thing and talk about the latter. Or do you? Do we really have to distinctly separate those two things?

I mean I could pretend for a minute that I did have an out-of-body experience. (Maybe I really have… wouldn’t you like to know?) I could really just go all out with the mysticism. It would be really easy. I could get swept by things like crop circles, abductions, the higher power, universal unification, dream catchers, four-leaf clovers, Bigfoot, optical illusions, tie-died shirts, salvation, philosophy, death, vampires, the sixth sense, ESP, cults, Harry Potter, and alternate dimensions.

But I don’t. Usually I say that I have too much sense for that. Recently, I asked “Do you really?” I’m at a very impressionable place in life right now. I think I could believe anything. Yesterday I was almost completely fooled by this Fundamentalist (or something) cartoon talking about evolution. It is seriously crazy, check it out. The guy’s name is Chick.

I’m just saying. I could go either way these days. Science, bah. It’s all about them preachers in the street, mang.
