The Autobiographical Self Has Prompted Extended Memory,

In 'self Comes To Mind' I Pay A Lot Of Attention To Simple Creatures Without Brains Or Minds, Because Those 'cartooned Abstractions Of Who We Are' Operate On Precisely The Same Principles That We Do.

Emotions Are Enmeshed In The Neural Networks Of Reason.

There's That Effect That Is Very Physical, Very Down There At The Synaptic Level, Which Really Means Microscopic Cellular Level, But Also Molecular Level, Because All Of Those Structures Are Operating On An Electrochemical Basis And So The Changes There Are Very Important.

When We Talk About Emotion, We Really Talk About A Collection Of Behaviors That Are Produced By The Brain. You Can Look At A Person In The Throes Of An Emotion And Observe Changes In The Face, In The Body Posture, In The Coloration Of The Skin And So On.

We All Woke Up This Morning And We Had With It The Amazing Return Of Our Conscious Mind. We Recovered Minds With A Complete Sense Of Self And A Complete Sense Of Our Own Existence, Yet We Hardly Ever Pause To Consider This Wonder.
