Brain and Spirit

I noticed that I have a handful of drafts sitting in my archives just waiting to be finished hopefully I can do my original ideas justice as I revisit them and try to expound and share them. I'm not a genius or even an 'intellectual' but I do my fair share of thinking. Six months ago I took a history of philosophy class so I am familiar with the concepts and concerns that have occupied, plagued, and entertained the greatest of minds throughout the last three millennia or so. One of the greatest debates has been the question of the body and soul. Plato believed that our souls existed before this life and came down to inhabit our body and St. Augustine of the Catholic church believed the soul to be our life source of light and knowledge I find it fascinating that with each of these philosophers theories we find shreds and bit of what was revealed to Joseph Smith concerning our eternal natures. Eventually as scientific knowledge developed and people began to rely more on what they could test and observe philosophers began leave the debate of the soul up to religious professors and today the question has changed to finding the connection of the mind and brain. Neuroscientist have developed theories of this connection by watching which part of the brain 'lights up' during different mental activity. However most of there finding have only reviled which areas govern sensation and perception but have little to offer for cognation. ( At least that is what my limited studies have found.) I find it amazing how the brain and body work together to monitor and sense the world around us. Sensory nerves transfer physical stimuli into neurotransmissions which are sent from neuron to neuron is a lighting fast chemical and electrical rely to the brain. The brain then transforms these messages into a cognitive experience that we evaluate and understand with our mind. It is a very fascinating thing for me to study. Now most of my ideas come straight from my thinkings and have little scientific value because of my lack of research and experimentation having said that I would like to purpose the idea that the brain works in a very similar way as does our sensory nerve cell. Nerve cell convert physical stimuli into neuro/mental messages and I purpose that the brain then converts these messages into spiritual knowledge to be processed by the spirit inhabiting each of our bodies. In essence the brain is the spirits liaison to not only our body but tot he physical world around us. In my readings both of scripture and prophetic commentary and scientific research I feel that there are two basic building blocks that make up all matter. I'm talking about the stuff that makes up the sub atomic particles that we think we know about. For simplistic reasons I will simply call them dark and light matter, or depending on what point I am making physical or spiritual matter respectively. According to Joseph Smith spirit is matter but is just more refined and undetectable to human observation. Also from the Doctrine and Covenants we know that spirit is light. We know from the accounts of the creation that there exists 'matter unorganized' from which the Lord created the earth. It is interesting to note the the first thing created was not light and dark or rather the light was not introduced to the dark. First the world was organized and light waters separated from the land. Further notice that life forms such as plants, animals, and finally man were not created until first light had been introduced? Dark matter can exist independent of light matter but life cannot. Life is contained in the light spiritual matter and the fullness of life is the hybrid combination of the two. Perfected life is when life is completely sustained by the spirit, an experience that we do not yet have but are promised through the Atonement and Resurrection of Christ. So why am I sharing this? The brain works and the only organ which bridges the gap between the two matters. I find it interesting that the neurotransmissions travel through the nerve cells as an electric pulse but bridge the gap between cell using a chemical reaction controversy in the brain as it communicates with different areas of its self it only uses electronic pulses. These pluses seem to 'light up; the active part of the brain. The only chemicals used in the brain are by the adrenal system used to regulate the emotions and functions of the body. Which tell the body what to tell the brain. It may be bold of me to assert this idea but I believe that the brain uses light matter to communicate with the spiritual entity which is responsible for our cognation, reason, and moral grounds. I believe that the question of how the body connects with the body and how the brain connects to the mind can be answered with the idea that the brain is a relay or sorts  which communicates our physical experience to our spirit and forwards its commands to our body.
