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

[The summary discussion of both papers is combined.] Self-selection answers the puzzle not only of how we know “What is this?” but also accounts for the incredible dynamism we employ as we initiate center activity to process our models of reality. Can you recall the last time an optical sight entered your modeling system in a state of complete incomprehensibility? 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?

These papers refer to Ouspensky’s In Search of the Miraculous; The Creation of the Conscious Man, and Brain Systems for nomenclature, both papers listed in this series.
