Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
Looking more closely what I mentioned earlier, I notice there's less of a sense of pressure and more of a sense of temperature (difference).

Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
When I first place my hand on a surface, eyes closed, there's a spontaneous "pulse" of a mental image which wanes quickly.
The tactile boundary does seem to be in the same place as the visual experience. If I try to move it by imagining a sensation where there are no fingers, I can't.

Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
Yes, looks like there sensation gets called boundary, and that it's a gradient which gets gradually less perceptible the deeper into the skin I follow it.

Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
It seems fuzzier than I originally thought, but I still consider the sensation itself a border..

Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
There's temperature, pressure, but felt only on the side that is facing the surface (not on the back of the hand). Whenever I place attention on the hand, a subtle mental image appears, associated with it is sensations of the skin..

Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
I get the impression of a boundary; it's partly mental imagery. I feel like I can deduce the amount of fingers and some general shape of the hand from the tingling I perceive on the skin is.

Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
Sorry for the delay; super busy week and no notification again.
Well, at least the sensation gets interpreted as boundary... I guess that in sensation there is only sensation.

Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
Can it be known how tall the body is?
- looks like perception of tallness is a visual inference.
Does it have a weight or a volume of the body?
- Weight is inferred by the amount of pressure against what's beneath the body, volume by boundaries that are given by sensations on the skin.
In the ...

Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
For the previous exercise, touch sensation seems to be a major factor; I feel sensation in the skin of the hand but not in the bed it lays upon. If I have thick jeans and my hand on my thigh, the bare hand seems more "body" than the trouser-covered leg.

Re: A logical mind seeks freedom and joy
I find it hard to consider the body as just an experience with a label. Any advice on that?
