But what about the beginning and the end? What gives the egg/seed the sentience?
[color:"yellow"]
The function of the form of course.
A motor becomes a fully functioning motor through form and energy supply.
Sentience is just another function of form and energy.

Are we just chemical instinctual beings or do we think in an entirely different fashion? And at the end, why can this sentience not pass into another state, perhaps energy, or perhaps something science is yet to uncover? I believe there exists more dimensions than we can perceive. Could our souls be playing in these extra-sensory dimensions?

I am sorry I do not mix science with fiction, or perhaps I am not really sorry for that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
If a picture was not solid, then how can it retain what it memorises in space for a long period of time?
When you say that you remember something, if you were gas now what are you after five seconds and where are you and how do you contain rather than being contained?
To build up information relative to a time frame, there must be a solid identity that remains constant during that time frame to contain such information and evolve it.

I don't quite get that. Why must energy travel in such a specific medium.
[color:"yellow"]
Travelling is one thing and standing is another.
If you agree with me that when you listen to a tune composed by Mozart and continue to remember it, then it must have interacted with what stands inside your mind. The form that was information In-Formation had to enter your mind in the form of travelling waves through ears and nerves but to stay must imply standing inside the water vapour of the water of the microtubules of the nervous cells of your brain.
That is what was meant by energy being trapped by gas trapped by liquid trapped by solid (plastic/ elastic) referenced by a bone skeleton/ skull.

And also on that, how does energy traverse the vacuum of space? Energy travels in waves, but a wave is essentially a variation, and how can you vary nothing? Some theories include a medium known as "ether". Ether has negligible, if any, mass and volume, hence we do not notice it. But it provides a means for energy waves to travel through otherwise vacant spaces. It would be needed for energy to travel between the atoms of physical substances as well! If souls were energy, could they reside there?
[color:"yellow"]
Energy traverses the nano-space between atomic subcomponents as variations in a primedium of primordium.
Primordium is a continuum not a granular medium but primedium may be granular due to the primordial vortexes. The subject is really immense and beyond chat forums so I have to draw a line here.
However, a soul is an abstract concept rather than a material entity. It is like the word table or car because its function depends on form rather than the material forming it. Not all wood is a table and not all tables are wood.
Only through form does a table become. Take its material apart and you should realise that it is not a table any more; burn its would and realise that reconstructing it is practically impossible.
