You See, Life is a greater process than humans can possibly imagine, yet red blood cells are sitting around coffee tables arguing over the reason those white cells don't seem to want to "get along" ("maybe they're ignorant, or unenlightened?"), always pushing and shoving and doing whatever in the hell they want to do - and the white cells are doing the same thing about the red ones, over at the other table.
Then, suddenly a group of them are called into action, and now they are racing for the door, totally clueless about what forces ripped them from their comfortable chit-chat just moments before, launched onward to a destiny they can't predict ("hey, maybe it's magic?").
Several minutes or hours later, after the "episode", the "mysterious episode" wherein they were all forced to behave in ways they can't comprehend at all, they are returned to their coffee tables, to await the next big event, and talk about what just happened.
The philosophers have plenty to say, of course, but their explanations are met with derision by the spiritualists, who oftentimes almost come to blows with the atheists, who generally like to side with some of the philosophers. But, the conversation whiles away their time in a most beneficial way, and their little cellular batteries are recharged until the next time they are needed.
Blood doesn't understand what the hell is going on with it, blood is simply being bloody - but that doesn't stop the constituents from all trying to come to some conclusive understanding about all the "why's" and "wherefore's" of their existence.
Humans don't understand what the hell is going on with them, humans are simply being humans - but... etc.
Neurons, on the other hand - you guessed it, right?
Neurons, on the other hand, have certain possibilities that blood and humans don't have - and you can take that to the bank, IF you can take that anywhere.
(If you can move information, from it's initial point of mechanical reception, to another place, then something (or someone) Wonderful happens - not magical, not spiritual, not mystical, but quite physical and subject to laws, some of which can be known. When information is moved - by forces unknown but NOT unknowable by humans - Eureka moments occur, great and small Epiphanies occur, and the fortunate human kind of, well, >>discovers<< something that even Life itself (sometimes) in that glorious moment didn't even know. And, when such occurs, ALL phenomena which have heretofore gone by those sorry misnomers (as magic, etc.), are seen for what they were: mis-named events, because they'd never been properly NAMED. This, is the intentional re-birthing of Adam in you.)
