Self-Selection Part 2: Brain Work, The Quality of External Sensations

Humans are designed to live here. We may not always know, for example, what something does, but we always seem to know what it is, or, at least, something else that it is “like” either a lot, a little or “sort of like.” How does all this work so well, so fast and so accurately? Are we so identified in our expectations that this system functions “under the radar” of our Instinctive Centers?

This paper refers to Ouspensky’s book In Search of the Miraculous and papers in this series Self-Selection Part 1, The Creation of Conscious Man, and Brain Systems for nomenclature, both papers listed in this series.
