Subatomic Theory of Thoughts

Atom is an old Greek word. It refers to what can not be divided into smaller parts.

The smallest components of our reality are not molecules and atoms, nor subatomic particles like quarks and leptons.

No, the smallest scale components of our reality are our thoughts, feelings and sensations.

This is what is real to us. This is what we are. A life of thoughts, experiences, impressions, feelings, knowledge, decisions is what makes up a soul.

We can learn about the physical world, but there is a lot to learn to get even a basic understanding of subatomic particles. Many layers of mathematics and physics need to be mastered to grasp the physical world. The deeper we dig into it, the stranger it becomes. And then our understanding is anyway imperfect.

When we look from the outside, and try to understand thoughts, feelings as material processes in the brain we find that is perhaps even more hard to grasp.

I am in awe that which is simple in subjective reality is complicated in physical reality and vice versa.
