Knowledge of One's Self

In the "Knowing Our Minds" article by Alex Byrne made me realize just how limited we really are to our perceptive of others and ourselves. When we judge someone else, we use our senses to analyze the situation and hope we are judging the situation on truth. With judging ourselves, we believe that what every we experience throuhg this first-person perspective is truth. How scary is it to think that whatever method we use to judge ourselves is completely different from the way we analize everything else. This conciousness that we use to judge and know ourselves does not have a logical explanation. Are we not just billions of cells interacting wiht one another through chemical interactions ? So where does this concious come from. This concious that gives us this perpective of how to judge things around us and how to judge ourselves. Is it part of a control feature that is secretely imbeded into our brains so that we function a certain way. Is it part of the authorative control or is it a gift from God?
