Your body is not a machine. It is a nexus of somatic prehensions. It is alive. Talk to it

Morphospaces of embodied cognition
"A feeling bears on itself the scars of its birth; it recollects as a subjective emotion its struggle for exsitence; it retains the impress of what it might have been, but is not... The actual cannot be reduced to mere matter of fact in divorce from the potential." -Alfred North Whitehead

Sensations in these areas could mean that these parts of our bodies are "telling us something" about our surroundings or our situation. If we learn to only live in the head, we will lose awareness of this somatic language. Here is another example this time with the Temporalis located by the ear

For instance, the Quadratus Lumborum located in the lower back has a character structure of "autonomy" with one ego function being "balances ones own needs/feelings/desires against others' expectations" coupled with a psych function of "maintaining awareness of oneself while mirroring others"

On this line of thought I'm going to be ordering this book by @footnotes2plato.substack.com soon! Very excited

Some literature aimed at putting Karl Marx and Alfred North Whitehead into conversation. Marx as a process philosopher makes sense to me, especially given Manfred Franks insistence on the Schelling influence. I'm interested in seeing how Whitehead's God and Marxs Capital intersect

The article discusses the tyranny of the eye in sense perception. Process and Reality lays out a methodology to critique how Western philosophers have taken for granted certain somatic assumptions and their consequent epistemological limitations. Just picked up this book on the history of sight..

This is a fantastic article. If what Whitehead says of the human body is true (an amplifier in the terms of electromagnetism) then showing how consciousness is distributed at least across the body is important. Exploring the transduction problem and highlighting of the ENS over the Brain is great

Read Chapter 10 of Alfred North Whiteheads Process & Reality this morning - ending part 2. What a stellar conclusion to this section of the book. The metaphysical contradiction between stasis and movement has always stumped me. His Concrescence scheme clears up a lot of the problems I've had
