Money wisdom #51

"No one has ever seen a thought or image inside someone else's brain, or inside his or her own. When we look around us, the images of the things we see are outside us, not in our heads. Our experiences of our bodies are in our bodies. The feelings in my fingers are in my fingers, not in my head. Direct experience offers no support for the extraordinary claim that experiences are inside brains. Direct experience is not irrelevant to the nature of conciousness: it is conciousness."

Rupert Sheldrake The Science Delusion (2012) p.214
