I believe its exactly a week ago in camp, I was reading an article on Newsweek regarding how a specific part of our brain is more responsive to spiritual and religious matter.
Apparently this article is not explaining and informing us of this, but rather a writing cleverly explaining that we are in control of our mind. Read the full article here:

Another article worth reading which I also happen to take particular notice of is how "we" have become "Hindus". Read this here: http://www.newsweek.com/id/212155
Be it the neurobiological findings suggesting that the brain may indeed be wired for God, or how the parietal lobe, that detects where our body physically ends and the larger world begins, or how this circuitry can be silenced by intense prayer or meditation thus producing a sense of oneness with the cosmos or God. I think the point is that these findings are making us see on one side, how God has placed that eternity in our heart (or mind).
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
On the other side, I see how people understands that religion and spiritual matters are issues that really matters to them. The danger here is understanding God but not knowing the way to Him.
My point of concern is seen by reading through the second article.
"Truth is One, but the sages speak of it by many names. A Hindu believes there are many paths to God. Jesus is one way, the Qur'an is another, yoga practice is a third. None is better than any other; all are equal."
A sovereign and mighty God I serve. One who is faithful to forgive and love. The week before God has put me through distressing time, on how we have been so compromised to lie, on how we have been so easily to complain and grumble when things do not go well, on how we have been so controlled by whatever our humane mind try to logic things out. So tempted was I that I wanted to hide myself off man and God.
This has made me come to see how the deeds of man had taken a turn downhill towards destruction, with their actions, thoughts and words. Not that I am pessimistic or anything, but I think its only right we keep in mind of the coming end-times, for it is near.
To end things off, we do have the software and hardware for God, its all about making that right connection.
