"...This is like opening up the brain, poking around, and trying to find the
mind or soul. These things grow through iterations, through cycles that
start small and flourish, and can't be seen once they are gone (or the
screen has gone blank).
Imagine a dark room where the camera is looking at a dark screen. It
will stay dark this way forever (no life, no soul) until a 'spark of
life' (say the lighting of a match) brings forth an image, which will
then perpetuate itself on and on. But, then imagine something blocking
the camera's view of the screen, just for an instant. All of a sudden,
the image goes out (death), never to return exactly as it was. To me,
this is what the mind is, just a complex pattern."
