External Or Internal Stimuli and
The Homeless Mathematician
notes that the use of the terms "external or internal stimuli", above, refer to the
corpus of the sentient being. In all cases, the stimuli is the result of a
interacting with a sense organ, of the
corpus of the sentient being.
In this respect, it may be more appropriate to use "surface", in lieu of "external", i.e., "surface or internal stimuli", because, with respect to consciousness, everything is external.
The brain, as an internal sense organ, functions as an empathtic processor for our consciousness to perceive the
Form and Substance
which generates the stimuli. As such, consciousness may experience each
as having both an

Realm of Consciousness.

Physical Realm ,

To paraphrase: "It is what it is." Likewise, the
of each actual

as represented by the empathtic processor for Consciousness.
- From studies of hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, the empathtic processor is understood to have three primary modes for Internally representing the
Form and Substance
In addition, as an empathtic processor for our consciousness, a brain may likewise empathize with
contained in the non-Physical
Realms of Consciousness.
Thus, the transformation of the
Form and Substance
between External and Internal
governs the experiences of our consciousness. In turn, our experiences govern our interaction with other
as discussed in
The Form of Interaction between Two Objects.
