Mankind's inexhaustible quest for truth, spirituality, god, and or however else one wishes to refer to the infinite, can be accounted for by what I refer to as my theory of the double mirrors. Like animals, are senses perceive a physical world; light reflects off tangible objects, and into the retina, sending a chemical message that is interpreted by the brain. This reflection causes other chemical functions leading to all of the natural behavior of animals. The chimpanzee sees the peanut and eats it. What makes us different, however, is that we somehow reflect on our existence, analyzing our sense perception from a distance. This ability in effect, provides another "mirror," and combines with the first reflection to produce the illusion of infinity. We are like a chimpanzee living between two mirrors, constantly viewing not only the grass in front of him, but the reflection of the grass and the reflection of the reflection and so on. As a result, we humans do not merely eat the peanut, but ponder why we are eating the peanut, what the world would be like if it were not for the peanut, and how we should properly treat the peanut, etc.. Like the illusion of infinity is produced by parallel mirrors, we construe notions of immortality, the soul, god, and spirituality. If our minds were merely powerful computers, we might still have produced advanced technology but the perception of metaphysics would be unattainable.
