Perhaps it's an interference pattern unique to each being. The brain developed as a way to navigate the unseen of the unfelt, underlying cosmic soup.

It could explain why some people are more spiritual and feel like we're all connected (I'm not one of those folk), or why drugs like ayahuasca or DMT cause you to short circuit and see beyond the veil.
