A hypothesis about consciousness
#8
RE: A hypothesis about consciousness
We also conceptualize based upon what we see, feel, smell, hear and taste.,..evcen when we attempt to describe or address things we take to be "beyond" such mundane concerns.  Take, for example, the invisible red thread of asian myth.  

The thing that connected us all, spiritually, to the all..as it were....was something familiar to weavers...string. It was invisible, but apparently red.  Our imaginations aren't quite as unbounded as some seem to think. The possibilities, when you actually consider what it is any given person is conceptualizing, are all mundane and familiar. This isn;t to say that we haven;t got something™ that other animals don;t have...but it may be quantitative, not qualitative..in difference.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
