Quantum entanglements may provide the means for this "germ who resides
inside our body" to communicate with the cognizance of the
universe/multiverse.
If a human brain with some 10^15 synapses can do all we observe and
experience, how much could a universe/multiverse of quantum entangled
particles do, functioning as a "brain?"
As an allegory, a cosmic consciousness such as this could function in
somewhat the same way our computer systems function. An individual
computer (human brain) can be "backed up" onto a "master" storage
means. Then, when the mortal human dies, all the "mind" of that person
would still be recoverable, and could be instilled into an immortal
body.
But, to more specifically answer your question...no, a mere 10^15
neuron synapses in our brain is not nearly sufficient for us to grasp
the whole scenario in all its fullness. We have to take these things
on the basis of trust and faith.
Our primary assignment during this mortal phase of our existence is to
explore sin and rebellion to a sufficient extent that we will never,
ever want to go back and tinker with it again, once we have been
promoted to immortal, sovereign beings.
We can explore sin and rebellion by direct involvement, or we can
explore it by observation of others who are directly involved. When
this project is complete, we will all have access to the learnings of
all humans who have ever existed...in our enormously expanded
cognizance.
For now, we see through a glass, darkly.......
