Quote:First, here's a question:
Why doesn't a book or a table, for example, have the ability of self-perception like we do? Or to put it differently, what is it that makes a certain collection of inanimate matter be able to come to life and then perceive itself (such as the material in our bodies) whereas many other objects around us do not have such an ability (i.e. self-perception)?
It is your belief that "inanimate objects" are inanimate without self-perception. Inanimate objects are composed of matter where is your proof that there is no self-perception? I'm aware that the common thought and belief is that an object is inanimate but there is no proof. Are reality is based on five absolute senses and some say six inclusive of mind. Do you ever ask yourself is that space around you truly empty?
