   falls under the category that materialism and empiricism might not be   
   able to have a "theory of everything" and that a "theory of anything"   
   and spiritual essence might be necessary to explain the experience of   
   sentience   
      
   non-sentient life seems bound by inductive, or deductive, inference   
      
   sentient life might have the addition of abstraction not bound by   
   inference, such as dreaming or imagining   
      
   awareness seems like a unity, sentience seems like a regression of   
   awareness, aware of being aware of aware of being aware, etc.   
      
   nothing new, seems to be well discussed in philosophical dualism of   
   the mind

   as a recent agnostic I seem to be searching and revisting things more
