For example, when I am absorbed in the flow of experience, enjoying what I am doing, my body is in the background, as that through which I experience the world – it is the lived body, der Leib; and time, too, is in the background, that in which I live, think and act intuitively. They do not obtrude, as things, objects of experience – that is to say, not subject to the Gorgon stare of the left hemisphere.
