Under the Water of My Mind

By Mike Garofalo

Under the Water

of my mind

an unconscious Sea

of Memories

guide me through time

 

Keep me on a course line

send me some signs

become conscious at times...

freedom may a fiction be

controlled by unknown destinies.

 

Bring the Unconscious,

Sub-Conscious, ego, and Id,

Collective Unconscious figured in—

Over the waves of Consciousness

the flotsam of Unknowns are adrift.

New Ways of Explaining Perceptions

What counts as "a perception" or "perceptions?"
These authors argue for an expanded notion of perceptions grounded in our lived human experiences in temporal body-mind frameworks.
