Human Body/Reality Browser

The Human Body as Reality Browser

What a piece of work is man. How noble in reason. How infinite in faculty. In form and moving how express and admirable. In action, how like an angel. In apprehension, how like a God. The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust. Man impresses not me."

- taken from Hamlet, by William Shakespeare

The paradox of existence; existence IS, while it also DEVELOPS/UNFOLDS. The SPACE/TIME Continuum IS, while within this continuum each STATE is interrupted by an EVENT, which leads to a new STATE. The human species resides within the boundaries of existence, and is therefore subject to these 'laws'. If mankind uses his memories, associations, traditions and stories as a basis of comparison whenever a new EVENT occurs, one should also take a look at WHERE these memories, associations, traditions and stories are stored and where they find their ORIGIN.

A story is, in fact, nothing more than a series of EVENTS and descriptions of STATES. As is language. Both body-language and verbal linguistic communication are based on the constant Q & A of existence, and from this point of view, the human body can be seen as the ultimate reality-browser; a puppet which can be used to traverse the limited dimensions of space/time, and to tell stories... to 'act out' on the stage of the world... As is explained in "Is this a dagger I see before me?", we are that which we think to be we are, and thus it really is the thought that counts (from one to twenty-six, in this case). What happens in 'real' life is just as much a story as are those stories that have already been written down. It's just a matter of perspective.
