An existential labyrinth

Or

Cabinet of curiosities

• The perception of pain


• The primary emotions from happiness, joy, anger, and disgust

Idea that we can leave our body behind and just exist on another plane. As selves, personalities, inside constructs we have built but all that time our bodies are the space actually creating our reality.

Could do meditation imagining not just no language, but also no body, what would we know without a body. What would we share, talk about, think
