Conducting my research for a story I finally set my mind to write, I came across these 2 statements:
1) scientists believe human brain is likely to be most complex object nature created within the Solar system
2) the very probability of life, keeping in mind endless ifs of our mundane existence in the Universe is nothing short of miraculous, well below 0,00000000001%. (Let’s leave alone question how we can evaluate the probability of these events, especially when we discuss complex systems and probabilities on such a scale: the age of Universe is currently being estimated at 13.7 billion years +/-200 million years and size is as 3.56×1080 cubic meters).
Of course, downscaling the case, on the top where are some other probabilities, e.g. one chance in probably few hundred thousand my parents would meet and got married; assuming they were capable of conceiving me, my being is the result of the union of one of few million sperms with particular ovum out of a few hundreds, etc…
There are, of course, endless probabilities exist even now, as they do at any given moment: that Internet will be created, this memories-dreams bank of whatever called Memorycemetery will be set, that you will find out about it, and will read this post, and will think: what the heck?!

A friend of mine put a cross on me, it looks like. She says, I am into post-religious spiritualism, referring to Memorycemetery concept. I can accept that. Some people called me worse words. Frankly speaking, I was always being suspicious in regard of everything starting from “post”, as of something second hand, or with warning: “Danger! Badly digested concepts attached!”. Nevertheless, as there’s no pleasure whatsoever in pointless arguing, I will take it on the basis that awakening of post-religious spiritualism requires evolution of our consciousness. Self-satisfaction is the only wisdom of our days… :)
“God doesn’t play dice”, quoted she A.Einstein’s words. If so, let’s consider these words from my freshly acquired position of post-religious spiritualist:
If God does not play dice, shall I accept Him/Her/It as the Savour?
I do not want to be saved by a superpower. If I want to be saved (from what?: from myself, of course), I want to be saved by a miracle. This statement probably pushes me even further into cultural margins, if not beyond. So what? It could be nice to fuck off the public value, as another friend of mine said on a different occasion. He studies economics. He told me what the post-industrial economics requires developed tools of post-industrial mathematics and vice versa. Like, for example, developing of the game theory had a certain impact on a stock market and the stock market acquired those ideas for further advance. This year’s Noble prize in economics given to this theory developers is the proof. My interest in economics though is somewhat on micro-level: how to survive from one salary to another one? How can I pay off my debts? So before we sunk deeper in such gory subjects, I would like to turn my attention to somewhere else. Let’s say, if games theory can describe behaviour of very complex and rather chaotic systems, what impact does it have on God? Or, down to more practical matters, on my dreams?
