The Self-world
"The Self-world"
by ben yosaf aperitif
The way to understand one's concepts of the internal life of the mind is to ascertain the distinction between the interior and the outer of one's personhood. We see that the body is a extrinsic materialistic property, fungible, plastic, identifiable in permutation of shape-- ostensibly identifiable in the realm of sight. The mind, on the other hand, cannot be seen and it is of the world of the unseen.
This creates a sense of duality in the two modalities of substance constitution of which one is able to ascertain in selfhood. The two are not, however, singularly distinguishable, in the overall equation of the human person.
The mind is the control-center of the person's selfhood. It runs the body, in totality, when one take into account the unconscious and semi-conscious processes of the mind.
The mind is located within the interior of the person, and, in its unconscious processes, it run the likeness of organs, valves, and the heartrate.
On the inside of the human, then, we see is where the mind is located. One can refer to and think of the mind as 'achromatic nimbus plasma,' this conceptual placeholder of which I have minted. By this nomenclature I have created, one is able to identify the ethereal and extension 'matter of the mind.'
The mind-- the inner cognitive selfhood.
The body-- the outer corporeal selfhood.
It is in the place of the full, holistic life the mind lives. The person meanders and moseys and ambles onward through different settings and circumstances in her life, and in this, she coordinates her movements and strategies in the world of her 'mental life.' (When one runs, her body becomes more agile and fit.) The person controls how she acts through the mind; the body channels movement and an array of spiritual manifestations throughout the time in life... The person's mind/body interconnection, herself, always stands in relation to her settings and her circumstances.
Hence, 'the self-world' is the existential modality of the individual, where she thinks, extends outwardly, and walks through...
