We were born more helpless and dependent than animals
Animals stays longer inside and came out more ready to survive
We came out earlier and has to sacrifice our development to pass through the cervix of the mother
But, in the first years of our life, we made tremendous development
Especially, our nervous system development.
During the first years, we cry, scream, yawn like animals do
The world most likely a buzzing experience
But soon, we develop "emergent world" with development of language
Where we started learning name and creating story
At this point, the child has not identified with the story
Life is still a biophysical experience with Names
They call each other by names "Tommy wants to go to school", "Mommy is cooking"
Soon, we start to identify or pronouns our experience with "I", "You", and "He/she"
first, second, and third person.
AT THIS POINT, WE RIDE AND "OWN THE SELF" and call it "I", WE ACT OUT THE "SELF" LIKE A HAND PUPPET. We merged intentional and extentional, we merge the biophysical and mental. We especially attached to I.
Some linguistic called this "Intentional/verbal world" where the outside world as "extentional world"
Where we "intent" in our verbal world or "extent" our hand to the real world
Magically, we continue living in this world, dream-like world
As evidence, we can still see this world with our eyes closed
The visually abled see the same world as the visually impaired
Magically, we project this world to the extentional world
We merge the intentional and the extentional world
Not knowing that we create the story from our knowledge and experience based on what we see
We confuse reports and inference and especially, judgement
We confuse opinion and facts, thoughts and facts
Scientists said that our nervous system create our sensory experience
Our nervous system also create our the story or the world
And we identify with objects in this world, especially that is Mine
Everything is phenomenal, is different than Noumeanal
When we create story, we dispose or set up phenomenal objects
WHen we watch TV shows, we create a story based on the actor's acting skills, lighting, and sound
A good actor are actors that can play the part that is believable to be in our story, that doesn't disrupt our story
Magic show also work the same way, manipulating our logic and the way we think.
So, what's the problem? THe problem is that the real world does not function like our story
It will lead to dissapointment and frustration
It's even probably true that everybody live in their head.
We identify when we MAKE THEM COME TRUE OR MAKE BELIEVE THEM TO BE TRUE.
