Body minds. I'm interested in the wetware below our brain stems... what does my fingers think of being in a slave labor situation for my brain as I type these words out? Our instincts? This is no republic, yet occasionally there is something that can vote us out of office temporarily and we don't even notice until we're making out with someone we don't even like or saying something we didn't intend to. This is life, and we are in control, most of the time. Or are we fooled by just how many unconscious vetos take place ever hour of our lives?
I had the vision today of a crucifixion. Tissue, cells, blood and bone giving way to shaped iron, then little splinters of wood, cell walls all in alignment, the actual internals all dead of each one, giving way to this iron, and blood cells flooding into the dead broken tree cells, tinting microscopic portions of the wood red, and once again alive with red and white blood cells, trying to die and become a clot.
There's no point to this imagery that popped in my head, but is it my mind that manufactured it? Or the unruly sea of subconsciousness every thought?
Is the concept of a body mind a Santa Claus, just a figment of one's imagination given power by believing in it, or something "intangible" but "Real". What makes real intangibles real then?
