Physical analogs of Dasein's hetero-genius-y: an meditative parallel

Please consider this thought experiment;
if you do I'll give you a stranger with candy, inside of your mirror:

Ever wonder HOW?

That wondering is "subjectivity," which bases itself
initially off of
some "object" or physical world, no doubt.

Bear with me.

Ever wonder how:

inks, emulsifiers, detergents, paints, and adhesives

actually work?

_____

I find it fasinating...
these three general encyclopedia entries provided me with a pretty decent idea.

(note: you'll need to have an idea about the difference between a solution and a suspension)

Emulsion:
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Emulsion
Colloid:
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Colloid
Surfactant:

I later realized the meditative potential of these/this objective-subject/ metaphoric parallel.

_____

Learning here about how physically immiscible substances can work together

helps to clarify those murky half-suspensions and half-solutions of the mind,

helps to clarify the immiscible substances of our awareness': the antipodings of mystery and truth.

Learning how physical
inks, emulsifiers, detergents, paints, and adhesives
actually work
is perhaps a good metaphoric meditation on how the mind works;
because,
to learn how non-physical or mental/spiritual/emotional
inks (lexicons), emulsifiers (mnomic-meme-ings), detergents (conscience/thought-clearings/meditations), paints (synesthesia/mixing-of-the-dissimilar), and adhesives (identification)
actually work
is what good metaphoric meditation on how the mind works
is all about.

Please tell me what you think (or in other words) HOW your perceptual suspension of this article goes into yoUr cognitive solution(s);
does the metaphor join the etheric colloid that is your pondering intellect, Dasein?

Or is it just another tasking explicit?

Or not?
