With thought, comes the need to know. The need to know leads us to create answers when they are not obvious to our form of perception. It is the ability to imagine new realities that make us who we are....

I think pretty much all perceptions are equally as puzzling as emotion, for instance, sight. At first it doesn't seem puzzling because we are so familiar with it. It is too rich and its meaning too apparent for us to question. When we see a 3D image, we know it is 3D because certain parts appear in front of other parts. But what does that mean? They just pop out. But what does that mean? I know why it arises, and I know what it means, but I don't know why it means what it means, aparts from its physical origins. Right now I'm talking about the world of perceptions apart from any physical connection, which might seem like a fantasy to some of you.
When I say 'something more,' I'm never talking about something that could have any effect on what happens, including what I'm saying.
