Comments on: How Body Maps in Your Brain Help You Do Everything Better The Quantum Method for Manifesting Your Dreams Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:06:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Stuyvesant Town Resident http://www.dreammanifesto.com/body-maps-brain.html/comment-page-1#comment-123694 Stuyvesant Town Resident Mon, 26 Apr 2010 01:00:25 +0000 http://www.dreammanifesto.com/?p=1979#comment-123694 Nice article.... There's seems to be an assumption, however, that our brain and are senses are correct with regards to: what we are and where we are in the universe. It seems that assumption here is that we are, indeed, separate from everything else. Instead, I would say it certainly seems that way because of how we are designed to perceive things (via your body map descriptions as an example.) To illustrate what I'm saying, our perceptions tells us there is color "out there" when there is not. I understand color as our perception of the various frequencies of light that reach the retinas of our eyes. That is, there is no color 'out there' – outside of our perception. And sounds are similar in that they require a receiver in order for certain waves of molecules to be perceived as sound. So, I think we have to be open to the idea that, by using our mind and our senses, we are actually constructing our reality. And that does not make it objectively correct or even real. Nice article….
