Sorry, but I'm not with you on it and have never heard of someone who thinks like that. I can see where it would be kind of helpful though.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896006691904225007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-64449081101907328502010-09-03T05:31:08.386-06:002010-09-03T05:31:08.386-06:00Marissa- that's a great line.

The brain is amazing.<br /><br />I've tried several times (often prompted by your posts) to imagine how the world would be perceived with different senses (like bat sonar) or a more dominant sense (like a dog's nose). Or wit ha different sense of time - slow like a turtle, fast like a swallow, long like a Sequoia, short like most insects. It's unsettling, yet also alluring. I can see why reincarnation is an interesting idea.<br /><br />Eh, let's go ride bikes.KanyonKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954169751206336705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-75049274784623396502010-08-30T13:34:57.742-06:002010-08-30T13:34:57.742-06:00Informative post, and then in the last paragraph, ...Informative post, and then in the last paragraph, you made me feel like I did when I walked out of inception.

I've always been fascinated by the brain, the mind and the Self-- especially other people's sense of Self, how they see the world around them and themselves from inside their minds. <br /><br /> And thanks, Kristin, for the link to the NPR story! Very interesting stuff.KristenThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187723351100391708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-38862719816170829212010-08-30T10:20:45.894-06:002010-08-30T10:20:45.894-06:00What a great post!
