| Colin, good question. The problem that your awareness of self raises is does it provide evidence that you have an existence beyond your physical one or as people of faith would put it - do you have a soul? There is no convincing argument as to how this awareness of self could have evolved. If you have a soul then it follows there is a greater purpose to existence and that there is some sort of prime mover who has determined that purpose. I am not prepared to accept that this proves the existence of God but it makes no sense to me that it is a consequence of an increasing sophistication of the human species through evolution and therefore raises difficult questions to those that didactically claim there is no such thing as the metaphysical. Most world religions say that this awareness of self gives you the responsibility to make good decisions in the realm of the physical because you have been endowed with a conscience and are not simply a highly evolved animal. |
