We are made up entirely of particles that hold either a positive or negative charge. So one could say we are nothing but electricity.

there is not definitive proof of particles with a neutral charge. sorta. kinda.

Not so, neutrons have no charge.
Edit:
And I thought everything was made of string?

Ah, a very good, insightful and thought provoking question. As a Buddhist I contemplate the question of the 'deathless' or 'Not I'...'Not me' concept often in fact I have been contemplating this very question only yesterday Buddhists often overlook this concept in favour of less difficult observances.
In answer to your very good question, it is without doubt that I do believe that there is no spoon...no question for if I didn't believe it then my entire existence is chaos, static and pointless and I would die within seconds. Let me explain...
The spoon is an analogy, a story to explain a very important and difficult Buddhist concept which is the concept of "Annatta" which is Sanskrit for "Not Self" a difficult concept to grasp because we all think we know who we are...we are wrong...
Our awareness or consciousness is in fact 3 parts all fighting for control of our Mind. 'We' are not even aware of it, the 'me' is hidden and very rarely has an input, so 'we' are not even here most of the time.
As well as this the entire structure of the Universe is fluid changing all the time in constant motion and a state of flux or change. Our perceptions at each moment change so our 'reality' is in constant change as well, so that from moment to moment our reality is different.
Is there a spoon...no...but that may change....
Peace from a Buddhist

Yeah, I was going to point out the neutrons. our brains work by changes in concentration of ions so I guess in a way you could say that but we're far more than just electricity.

Sorry dude - neutrons, neutrinos... there are quite a few.
I love that moment in the lift though when he whispers to himself 'there is no spoon'
The science in those movies was rubbish though. Bioelectricity combined with a form of fusion LOL

Yes, there is no spoon. There are only groups of atoms in varying stages of activity...if you will. If we could see the truth of reality, past the fleshy prision we are in, moving mountains would be no more difficult than lifing our fingers.

ah not electricity... more like tiny units of pure energy, the particles have to be made up of something
:P

Yes. Everything is energy in one form or another. Consequently, we impact the energy around us and due to our sensory abilities and means of processing the sensory information we receive, we are the ultimate creators of our reality.

You just reminded me that I need to go to Wal-Mart and buy more spoons.
