While our five senses (to see, hear, smell, taste and touch) give us an idea about the tangible world around us, it is the 'mind’ that gives us the ability to maintain and experience "the connectivity with the celestial world" though fully not visible to our naked eyes. As we all know there exists an universal intelligence besides the fact that our universe is fundamentally driven by an infinite source of energy.
This may sound like some theory but if one considers the basic fact that all the energy and every key element namely Air, Water and all the solid atomic elements including Earth which carries the eternal fire in its belly have all come from the ethereal space.
Undoubtedly there exists a powerful source of energy which drives the entire universe. The energy and the intelligence involved behind such a mind boggling creationism is obviously beyond the normal ability of the human species to comprehend.

After the 'Macaca Japanese monkey story' which was presented by the scientist named Ken Keyes Jr. more than 30 years ago(see my blog - Is monkey our ancestors?) about the incredible behavior of monkeys, science has now advanced to such levels that today modern scientists are talking about 'real telepathy of minds between two rats' which were implanted with micro-electrodes in their brain though these two rats were separated by a huge distance!
Therefore scientists have discovered that 'the mental ability' of one rat could be transferred to another rat via space!

Is this not conclusive enough to state that 'our celestial space' gives inbuilt communication facility to even the smallest species who could live without much fuss(i mean cellphone) for acquisition of some basic information from the outer space for its survival?
Although scientist say that human brain gradually evolved over several thousand of years from a small rudimentary brain to a complexly large brain but however there is no denying the fact that evolution of human intelligence still continues even today!
But is it possible for human brain to evolve without the fundamental intelligence available from this world we live!

However one cannot overlook the basic truth that evolution in itself is several billion years old, right from the time various sub-atomic particles and the first hydrogen atom was created followed by all the other heavier atoms and several other molecules by the combination of such atoms.
Therefore in reality one can visualize that intelligence is prevalent in the ethereal space that which was already in existence prior to the creation of our world where we live today!
Even our scientists are unable to explain everything definitively because all the things in our universe are not perceptible to we humans and therefore mysteries of our vast universe like the dark energy and several such complex entities will remain a secret forever!

Even in our own world the classical science is unable to give an explanation regarding fundamental things of life like self replication and multiplication or self production of cells inside a multi-cellular body or the spectacle of the creation of a multi-cellular architecture in species like that of a speedy ant or a huge elephant or for that matter an intelligent human being!
Therefore one can see that intelligence is prevalent not only at the macro level but also at the micro-level right down to the size of the smallest sub-atomic particle!

The well known scientist Sir Edgar Douglas Adrian, of Cambridge University, who lived during the first half of the twentieth century made a statement that ‘Brain’ is a structure consisting of nerve cells and nerve fibers found in certain species but not in all; however some species which have no brain in the strict anatomical sense have none the less complex behavior, well adapted to circumstances, a behavior we might well call ‘intelligent’.
Within our own bodies there are many cells swimming freely in the blood and behaving more or less like independent living beings avoiding what is bad for them and selecting what is good that is available in the system; therefore the question that could be raised is whether does these cells have any claim to the entity called 'mind' because the human brain has nothing to do with several such systemic or metabolic activity that is happening side human body?
The Greek mathematician and philosopher ‘Plato’ had described ‘mind’ as a separate entity from the body around 2300 years ago (Indian Vedic scriptures have also described that our five sense organs along with body, mind, ego and the intellect form the nine key constituents of a human being) but however Aristotle and few others rejected Plato's theory of duality and considered ‘mind’ as a product of brain function and ‘brain as the seat of intellect’.

The dictionary meaning of 'intellect' generally refers to the thinking principle or the rational power of the ‘mind’, but the mind by itself perhaps may not have the ability of register all the experiences based on its cognition power without the huge storage capacity of the large brain which human species have got as a ‘precious gift’. Does this mean mind cannot experience anything without a brain?
But one cannot ignore the observation of Sir Edgar D. Adrian who had stated that many species does not have brain and therefore the theory that ‘mind’ as an entity also can function independently cannot be disputed except may be that all the life’s experiences cannot be registered by species that have NO BRAINS or these might have lesser experience because such species have very tiny brains! ( I recommend please read the blog - 'Research on Re-Birth done by Dr.Ian Stevenson')
But brain's neuron cells die like all our body cells on a daily basis but due to the fact that humans posses a huge number of neuron cells(100 billion)humans have the ablity to store substantial amount of memories and experiences.
But we humans keep losing memory as we age and I have personally known people above the age of 80 years whose memory is almost completely erased though they can interact when they confront people and are physically very active(not bed ridden).
On the other hand I have also known people who are above 90 years old and they are able to recollect their old experiences because it appears they have maintained their dendrite connections with several neuron cells because millions of these cells are interconnected inside the brain and this entirely depends on the individual capacity to regularly use as much neurons cells as possible and it is a fact that humans do not use all the 100,000 million neuron cells available to them in the brain.

New theories like Santiago theory of cognition are favoring a totally new approach as far as ‘mind and brain’ are concerned. One of the aspects of this theory is that cognition is involved in the self genesis and self perpetuation of living systems, a process of life itself, including perception, emotion and behavior.
'Cognition' in this theory states that every entity does not necessarily require brain and a nervous system, as an example our own biosphere including rocks, atmosphere, sea have decision making mechanisms working with its own feedback systems and all these function quite effectively.

Therefore ‘intelligence’ in terms of certain functional knowledge is actually inherent and perpetual not only in our biosphere but in the entire universe which works like a tireless engine which logically necessitates the requirement of a “super Intelligence” or the parent for all such intelligence prevalent in the universe and one might want to call this as the "Supreme Being or God" but the only debatable point will be whether it is formless or not.
The question that arises now is who are then Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, Krishna, Mahaveera and why are they considered Gods by a large section of the human population?
"The answer to this question is not all that simple and straight forward but some in depth understanding of the universal science does reveal lot of hidden secrets of life and the unique human species by itself is one more mystery in the midst of all the mysteries that are prevalent in our big universe".
