The key to the gates of comprehending the universe, and the life, we as humans have been experiencing throughout the ages, is molten in the heat of recognising the existence of the determinism which rules the universe, and formed in the mold of understanding the ways through which it works and changes.

Humans have always been displeased with their lives on earth, and they have always longed for a perfect and eternal utopia, since they have always dreaded that their death and demise would be the end of their existence.

Pessimism caused by a sense of realism has its own different dimensions.

Thoughts

It is a well-known fact that it is possible to use the state, or the amount, of the chemicals inside the body to extract information about the health of the person, their personality, and other critical data, at that particular moment in time. It is also known that these levels can change, and the external, or internal (in the sense of the iterative behaviour of the body), factors and influences can also be a cause for the increase or decrease in the state of the chemicals.

It is also possible to mathematically model this variation in the chemicals, and study the ways in which it can be influenced, formed, and guided to use it as a means to describe, predict, alter, and create similar systems which are capable of demonstrating human-like behaviour.

The currest state of the mind is a result of the changes in the body, or its surrounding, in the past time(s). These past events are stored in the brain, the same way the memories are, because that is basically what they are. So the mathematical models used to analyze the process of recalling memories in the brain for pattern recognition might also be useful in constructing the networks through which our bodies function(*), and different aspects of our personalities are shaped and defined.

(*) The body functions can be influenced by the so-called "mental" states of the mind (in fact, these states are the chemical state of the body), so they should also be involved in the process of modelling.

Statement

The issue of trying to associate every single happening with a more spiritual, or deeper, meaning and essence while in all honesty, the chain of events could not have a more deterministic and simple sequence of patterns, has been the cause of many people's, implicit or explicit, suffering throughout the ages.
Many of the concepts held-high by different groups of people in any group types (cultural, economical, continental, regional, etc.) have nothing special and extraordinary to them. The predictability of the ways in which they can be achieved, caused, and controlled shatters the image of them as the absolute positively-valued beliefs, traditions, thoughts and guides to live by, and makes them as ordinary as the leaves changing colors at the beginning of the fall, the infant's cries at the time of hunger, and the force of attraction caused by gravity on the surface of the earth. (Of course, the sensitive nature of these phenomena, and the fact that they can change under different circumstances cannot be ignored, but is irrelevant to the point being made.)

It is, indeed, very amazing that these all work the way they do, and help create the "civilization(s)", and assist in guiding and forming the "life" that the humans have been living throughout the history. However, not being able to observe the widespread imperfections, the incompetence of the created networks, and the down right shitty states in which most of these phenomena behave, react and procreate(*), is just a simple sign of an extremely naive perspective which is very common among the "intelligent" animals.

(*) - These issues are direct or indirect results of the simple, and mostly lacking, patterns and sequences through which different processes act, react, create, destroy, behave, etc.

The reason the physical body, and the feelings of pain, and other "abnormal" feelings, in particular; are not felt and sensed by the central control unit of the body (i.e. the brain) under the influence of certain drugs, is the fact that the balance, or whatever level considered to be the normal level, of one (and often two, or three at the most) certain chemicals and substances inside the body is pushed off the edge (in one way or another) through of a very broad distribution of the after-effects of the change in processes by which it is achieved (which could be a change in the initial amounts of the chemicals present or a change in the form of the process), which is propagated throughout the whole body in an amazingly efficient and fast manner.

More On The Nature of These Processes:

They are time-variant, and changing, in both increasing or decreasing directions (obviously more towards the decreasing one in the case of the particular feelings mentioned above). They can be modelled by first, second or third order, at the most, differential equations.

The level of the each and every chemical determines the current state of the brain (many of these levels can be ignored since they do not change throughout these processes, so their rate of change is zero). The changes in the levels alter the current state of the brain in their own distinct ways, which are obviously different in any individual, but similar in groups of individuals.
The details of the propagation can be traced down to the smallest scales since it might be possible to model their natures in different ways on different scales, which adds to the complexity of the whole process.

The infinitely large surface area covered by the micro- and nano-level veins and pathways throughout the whole body makes this all possible.
