The Transcendental Dialectical Deduction

When it comes to the mind/body debate, many philosophers have taken sides, either it is all mind or it is all matter, idealism and materialism. A common argument is that all we know is mind, we can't drop perception, all that we can experience is experience itself. But it is a mind contained in a body, I have no doubt there is mind without body, as a human this is beyond our experience, pure mind is for the soul and the spirits. The mind we experience is contained by the brain, the physical connections create mental perceptions, but just as there is mind without matter, so there is matter without mind. All the time we see objects without a brain, does it mean they are without mind? My answer is that we must believe matter and mind are mixed in everything we see.

My own theory is that matter and mind are separated at the very edges of existence, but the human experience is of a mixed substance. Everything has a soul, from the simple particle to the complex human, and by a soul I mean God has some control over it's being. Equally everything has energy, and energy is controlled by the laws of physics. It is easy for me to think of the laws of physics as preventing God from creating the perfect world, but I don't want to, God is in his own mental struggle with the devil. I believe in heaven, that there are spirits living in a perfect existence, the reason for our imperfection is evolution, we have not yet evolved into heaven on earth. God's control over physics is not perfect, but slowly the devil is pushed out of the world. Maybe it is the slow development of the brain, as it becomes aware of the goodness of the soul.

Then there is the void, the blackness, many physicists believe energy is everywhere, that there is no void. The processes of energy are quite amazing, from the power of the sun, to the animals metabolism, energy seems to have many properties. It moves the animals body and it fuses atoms together, it has a place in every chemical processes, I have the feeling that scientists would do well to capture the essence of energy. Every physical law seems to constrain appearance, there are some who believe everything can be captured by these laws, that we will be able to predict the future, and know for certain the past. But the closer scientists have got to finding the answers the more questions seem to arise, why are the laws of physics different in some areas, blackholes? Why does matter appear and disappear without reason? Why is the universe expending at the rate it is? I believe suitable answers maybe found in the properties of determinism and chaos.
