next to the" Brain" prop,
I had been working on,
for the M tv game show, "Idiot Savants "in nineteen ninety six,
on the shop floor at Acadia Scenic, in Jersey City across the street from the studio,
I was clandestinely living out of - one eleven first street.
I had no idea at the time, what is on my mind now
My perception of self
My sense of identity
My memories
My thoughts
My imagination
My behavior
My choices
My control
My brain
It is all in your head
The organ of bodily hierarchy as advanced with human exceptionalism,
the thinking champion dominating the individuals sense of agency , self organization ,mastery
Our ability to respond and react to our living environment is governed by intelligence and judgment ,
located in tissue of flesh within the skull. the origin of self centered ego, seat of possession
authority autonomy anatomy
pathways of experience and association
layered meaning branching structure
internal relationships formed and folded with external perceptions
attention intention antenna idea awareness on the end of our neck
floating between our ears, hiding behind our eyes.
directionally designed with top and bottom, front and back
receiver and projector simultaneous signaling sensitivity anticipation generating
reality as conception, understanding ,belief.
The illusion of our original possession, ownership, control of self is a inner freedom of thought.
Private and personal are biological and cultural adaptations merged in deep conditioned existence.
The Brain is the easiest organ to manipulate.
It functions as interpreter of surroundings, with a built in mission to try to fit in, and explore.
That is to say,
territory, habitat, range
acclimation = acceptance
responding to the many changes in the living environment is the key to survival.
recognizing regulars and newcomers to place, spotting interrelationship similarities and differences in group and individual seasonal dynamics among the various beings with their independent nervous systems responding....
are they aware of my presence?
what do they think of me?
what do they think of my work?
accept my sacrifice!
the gift of brain to brain communication is an acknowledgement of understanding .
an organic polarity exists between the positive comfort engage in friend making, mind melding, appreciative interaction. safe and relaxed.
and the negative reaction of one feeling threatened, rejecting advances and restrictions of other brains in the neighborhood, a level of competition and hostility that is encouraged as entertainment industry and real estate that is the social mega-brain of human economics.
the escape, exit strategy is half of the basic dichotomy of response of the foundational brain in the waking working hours.
What the brain does when we are sleeping is it's own business.
challenging our ability to own or take credit for control of the brain experience and it's bonding with,
or rejecting the perceived situational engagements, rewards and pursuits of a singular bodily organ executive manager and accounting for what " it" does with " it's" time off.
People have exaggerated the emphasis of presentation of identity and idea.
ownership and personhood growing out of the eating end of our spine.
The brain is not in charge, it is in front and center, yet backstage.
encompassing a reflex of interaction and accumulating knowledge of the mutual benefit potential inherent in space itself.
