The Self Is A Perpetually Recreated Neurobiological

A Conscious Mind Is A Mind With A Self In It.

It's Very Interesting To Think About The Distinction With Mind, Which I Just Made In Very General Terms, But It Can Be Made More Profound When We Think That There Are Many Species, Many Creatures On Earth That Are Very Likely To Have A Mind, But Are Very Unlikely To Have A Consciousness In The Sense That You And I Have.

How Can You Have This Reference Point, This Stability, That Is Required To Maintain The Continuity Of Selves Day After Day?

So, You Can Define Emotions Very Simply As The Process Of Perceiving What Is Going On In The Organs When You Are In The Throws Of An Emotion, And That Is Achieved By A Collection Of Structures, Some Of Which Are In The Brain Stem, And Some Of Which Are In The Cerebral Cortex, Namely The Insular Cortex, Which I Like To Mention Not Because I Think It's The Most Important, It's Not.
