I found this activity challenging. I have been trying this for a couple of days.


How is the movement controlled?

I have no idea.

Does a thought control it?

The thought seems to take my attention to the action, but not driving the action

Can a ‘controller’ of any description be located ...

Hi
I dont think I am ready yet for these questions.

I can see that my senses are individual experiences, and that my brain stitches them together to create a narrative, which includes meaning, past, present and future.

I can see that I bring together the sight, sounds, taste and feel for the ...

This is an ...

What is known for sure? Color is known and thoughts are known.
What about the content of thoughts, what they describe?

I know there are sensations in my mouth and digestive system, taste and saliva. Sensations of physical contact in mouth.

Content of thoughts, type of apple, how long ...

I can label the eperience i am having through senses, sight, smell, or thoughts to define my experience, but the rest is story.

the labels are not true, But true to me and my experience.

I think i can go with the single layer of label. But anymore, like the smell of the apple means this, or the ...

Yes i see the tree

The tree is a shape with colours. With a permimeter or kind of boundary. If i try and strike it with my hand i will hit a hard surface. It has a boundary.
It has a smell.
If i ...

Does the label ‘GREEN’ have a one-to-one correspondence with ‘reality’? Or does the label suggest something else other than what is here now (red colour)?

Is 'green' associated in any way with the experience of the colour red; or is green just a label that overlays the actual experience of red ...
