My self is extremely elusive. ‘The illusive mind’
My BodyMind responds to my environment. Automatic and autonomous. That response depends on how safe my social engagement system assesses the situation: safe, unsafe, life-threatening. And I move from moment to moment on that scale of safety. My inner world also comes into play. My conscious and unconscious perceptions. an infinite range of possible responses. but according to as much fixed pattern as possible otherwise I go crazy and fall into psychosis, I lose my ground and am only the reaction without center.
I is a composite response. Fractionated.
‘I’ am nothing more than a reaction
Something observes. That’s not an “I.
Brainwashing? Exactly. So the opposite is also true. We are nothing more than a bio computer. With “something” perceiving itself.
A large part of my identity is in the hands of other people
