when it comes down to it, i feel like i'm two seperate entities that are cohesively living together... my mind and body.. and well they technically are two different things living/working together, but I mean in a sense that they have their own consciousness? their own thoughts, goals, and desires? I dont know.. its hard to explain. i know it's just an extension of my imagination.. but maybe it's not. Like sometimes I can feel myself looking behind my eyelids.. and when i open my eyes i see the world that i'm living in.. but i'm also living in an entire world inside of my own body! the tiny individual cells are all working along, doing what they're programmed to do to keep me running and alive.. or i think about the kidney sitting there stressing out..
or i think about the person behind these eyeballs... the nerves that are connecting them to my brain, and then even more electrical signals firing and categorizing what i'm perceiving.. and then interpreting it with a mind that has been cultured to certain ideas/morals/themes/events/situations, etc.. but then i have an overall consciousness that is trying to perceive the outside world too. its overwhelming.. too many ways to look at things.. sometimes theres this mind inside of me that is perceiving the world as i live in- in more than one different way... The most intriguing thing about the human mind is that we can project ideas about the future, and imagine and construct it. and that allows us to imagine scenarios before they happen, and we can weigh the pros and cons, and understand and envision what the outcome and possibilities will probably be. It's a strange thought to think about i think. But that's what keeps us going in some way.. because we have imaginations that have no limit, and when we think and imagine about the unknown, it only drives us to create it and to make it happen.. or that's the way i see it.

i have a thought here, but might be hard to explain... ok, you know when a tree branch snaps, you might think about how much effort it took for the tree to hold that branch up??? Well, in reality it didn't take the tree any effort at all, once it would have taken some effort the branch broke off.... same thing with organs and other stuff that doesn't have a brain... it does what it's meant to do until it breaks... it won't make an effort beyond it's necessity. Alright... I'm sure you won't see a relation to what you were talking about, in that case, just love me for nothing :-) - Patrick
