Interesting. SO you're saying your whole body participates in the thought process. (What is the I that thinks) not (What do you think you are). I assuming that the thing that thinks must be the part that manipulates information - anything the "I" side of the sensory boundary.

The much bigger question is "What is the Matrix?" and more importantly, will the second film be good without wrecking the first one?

John, I am certainly not saying that the entire body participates in the thinking process.

The 'I' is more than just the part that thinks.

When 'I' go to the store, it is not only my mind that goes.

If a fireman loses his legs saving lives, is he a lesser man than he was? On the contrary, I'd say he's more of a man than he was.
