Thinking without a brain and the universal intelligence

That slime I wrote a short bit about earlier, don't know if you read it or not, but it was about how clever that slime mold is: it finds the path through the maze quicker than a rat on steroids, and can tell time. Then I read an article about mushrooms being super smart, because the root system is the actual being and it can extend for miles and every cell knows what happens somewhere else. (The stuff about mushrooms being smart is in my new book too). And dumb worms can learn to go towards the light expecting food.

So, it appears there is an intelligence or a way to store and process information without the brain. The Japanese guy Emoto did a bunch of experiments with water: when he put stickers on water samples that said bad words, the water froze in ugly messy crystals, and if the stickers said words like Love, Beauty, etc., the water froze in beautiful crystals.

There was a lot of poo-pooing of the experiment in the scientific community. But then scientists are like religious people, always bitching if something challenges their narrow view of the world. So, if the experiment really went the way Emoto claimed, it would mean that water has some pretty amazing intelligence, and can read not only Japanese, but any language. Although, that seems slightly reaching. But it could be very possible that a person has a subconscious emotional reaction to words and water is picking up that reaction rather than reading words, so the stickers on dishes would only serve to identify that emotion to the experimenter. That would also explain why the experiment wasn't always getting exactly same results - some people's emotions could be messed up, like if they just went through a break up, naturally, the word Love would evoke anger and mess up the experiment.
So, the underlying point of it all is that there is an intelligence without any apparent mechanism like a brain or nerves or neurons. It simply is and permeates all the matter, living or not. So, the Native Americans and Pagans, and Druids, and all the ancient cultures had it right: everything in nature has a spirit. I was convinced enough to promptly convert to a neo-Druid or a pantheist. Although, I can see how it also is possible to say that there is one god, which would mean the spirit inhabiting everything is one. No one knows. But religions worshiping the One God tend to get rather ridiculous, imagining him to be some person, and they don't give nature enough respect, in fact, they side with the greedy capitalists in considering themselves above nature. They even go so far as to think sex evil - the idiots. They make it legal to show vile horror movies on TV and not allow sex! So, naturally, I could never be a part of such a bunch of Hippocrates.
Anyway, I am digressing. So, if there is an intelligence that is quite as smart as the best brain among us, but doesn't need any mechanical obvious means to function, the question arises: where is it and how it works? I suppose it is possible that it is a giant brain the size of this universe, and all the worlds and the planets are it's atoms and molecules. It could also be that this brain lives in another dimension, and that's why we can't detect it - a very likely scenario, since there are supposed to be like 11 dimensions according to scientists. Quite funny, when you think about it, why those same scientists that have no beef with the 11 dimensions, have so much trouble accepting the possible evidence of same. Is there also a possibility that there is a divine spirit in everything? Why not. Anything is possible. This spirit could totally have been hanging around since the beginning of time and maybe longer and could be responsible for the creation of life right along with the evolution. Perhaps without that spirit the evolution wouldn't work so well, because how could creatures without brains learn?
Of course, all that doesn't even come close to the question is there such a thing as an individual soul. Quite opposite, really, it would seem that the spirit permeating everything is one and indivisible. The reincarnation examined within this scenario could be nothing but a sudden access to the information that exists out there in that large brain. It could also be a burst of memory from some cells in the body that descended from that person, that one's brain somehow interpreted, while asleep or under hypnosis, usually.

I was flying again last night in my dream. I realized that I was dreaming, and concentrated to stay asleep as long as possible, since flying was lots of fun. I examined the mechanism of dream flying. It wasn't like a bird would fly, flat on my tummy, waving my arms like wings. Rather it was always like jumping and willing to stay suspended in the air. It required constant exertion of will to stay up and a great deal of faith - staying convinced in that I could fly. I managed to get up as high as the tree tops and flew skimming the branches. The trees were all green, many were flowering, it wasn't Seattle. It was somewhere in the south, some very lush warm place. I flew through the trees, then followed some river canyon to the sea shore and flew along the shore over the water. That was when I woke up, unfortunately.

I wonder if dreaming somehow enables our brain to tap into that other universal brain or spirit, or tap into the cellular memories buried deeply for hundreds, even thousands of years? Sometimes I dream that I'm not me at all, but another person, so could it be that I'm just tapping into that person's experiences through that universal brain?
