realization*
At eight years of age we realized that our brains were an object and that the process of our 'consciousness' was a 'purely' physical process. This realization was accompanied by the understanding that we could no more trust our ability to retain and process information than the fragile systems for its collection. At the time we could not understand how such a dangerous realization could have slipped into our young hands. Later we realized that the process of living is essentially a process of suspension of disbelief, of rejecting information which is complex or invalidates the system of perception which revealed it. Nothing we have learned subsequently has been as painful or disorienting than this realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization, realization* _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
