Kindle Notes & Highlights
When the sensation of movement neurally binds with the expectation of movement, it’s as if the brain understands, “I touched my hand.” If there is no expectation to bind with the actual movement, the brain understands, “I didn’t touch my hand. Something else must have touched it.”
On the other hand, if I am strolling through a meadow on a quiet day or soaking in a hot tub in the evening, life is easy and my sense of self softens and fades. There is little challenging me for the moment, so a sense of self is not needed.
