Missing in action: Where is the mind?

You ask if your ear captures or makes sound. It seems to me that the experience of sound depends on "objective" conditions (like the falling tree) and the "subjective" experience of sound (reflecting neurological processes) . In other words your "ear" both capture and make it.

Thought generator, or perhaps thought receptor. Or perhaps both.

But I wouldn't say random. I don't know if anything is truly random

I think emotions and feelings are of a seperate sense than the things we think of, yet, they are of course inextricably wound up in a sort of subjective embodied experience. So much so, that those distinctions can tend to blurr (I would also add that how aware one is within experiencing these feelings and thoughts may be a factor in articulating the way we define what the differences are... that is of course if one is looking for those differences). However, I'm not sure why there would be a reason to call one thing the other.

So, what have you heard? Your mind both capture and make it.

I am in your head, I am a safe house of the mind. cheers to fuckin with ya.

I'm trying to relate reality to the mind as an empirical oddity upon which we recieve and transmit various information. The idea of things in them selves needing no justifications set the tone for arbitrary attempts for reason. Hence, not knowing all the variables yet trying to make things defined. It is problematic if the problem is uncertain and if you view uncertainty as a problem.

Are you a computer?

Have you figured yourself out yet?

By the way, you use too many emoticons (since we are giving each other feedback)

Thank you for that, So you think there should not be emotion expressed during conversation, Are you sure your not a computer?

I didn't say that, it was just an observation. And no I'm not a computer. This is the last time I'll be replying to you...

But i guess the ultimate test is time itself.
Time is the ultimate ultimatum...

Where as the mind can't help itself be 'framed' in this socioeconomic and cultural context,

We've been framed.

but will it last?
Hell yeah! Forever in the mind.

I don't know and frankly I don't think about it (and if do I ignore it)

What are you thinking about?

so I try to keep my mind open and discern the information as it comes to hand.

SO! You take hand outs.

So trial and error it may be,

May be?

but it must resonate with your sense of reason for it to be

Or not to be...

something worth holding on to.

And what would that be?
