These still exist, but latent. Your knee can see, every portion of the body responds to light. The specialized development of animal life led to and brought about specialization of function. The brain’s necessary focus required more specific, less diffused and more concentrated methods of perception.

The other, older perceptive mechanisms still linger on however. The ego does not and cannot make use of them. Indeed the ego is almost entirely formed by the physical senses method of perception. Other layers of the self biologically respond to the older, more generalized but less limited perceptive mechanisms.

These generic images have been captured and built upon. These images also color physical perception. We are speaking now entirely of your own system. The basic assumptions of which I spoke are thought processes of a subconscious variety, based upon these generic images.

The generic images are like lifelines. (Long pause) They seem to lead into your past, but these lifelines are spirals, and only the limitations of physical perception lead you to think of them in that manner.
