Life is somewhat ''autonomous''; half the time our brains are processing without us even knowing, our lungs keep expanding and contracting without the slightest effort, we move our muscles seemingly spontaneously, there are so many parts of our bodies we don't know about.... life is like ''auto-drive''...  So now, the philosophical position pertaining to life and its functions --what ''culture'' facilitates this automation? Shouldn't innate knowledge precede existence throughout? Why and how could something exist in a recurrent ignorance of its functions on all levels? This confuses me because it gives out the vibe of ''slavery''... It seems reality demands more of physical work than knowledge ; that matter doesn't need to know itself in order to perform. So ignorance is inherent in life, in fact, living could be seen as striving to close this ignorance, but even at that, the details are unending. In fact, all we know for now is that we are conscious, and even that is up for debate...lol |

I think in some of us conscience awakens and makes us feel that we are actually living and we need a purpose for this life while some of us are like inert bodies from birth to death. I dunno what awakens thay sparkle in some of us but in a way its a luck for all to be alive and to experience such multitude of outter and inner excitors.

And it's strange that most of us dont give a second thought to our hearts and lungs and other vital organs till something goes wrong with them ...

yes cuz we take them from granted. I find it strange that some how our body is separated from our soul. sickness can come weather you are sad or happy, in moments when you really enjoy life.

How can innate knowledge predate existence?

Sentience comes about due to its causes and conditions,as do all things hence they all lack selfhood..no self identity.

you're stuck in the ancient greek philosophy. Move beyond descartes cogito ergo sum.

the moment anyone accepts an objective reality, an eternal truth, they have become vulnerable, manipulable, and eminently exploitable, they have ceased to function as an autonomous, creative, thinking individual, living in an integrated, interdependant, world. Wilson Bryran Key

''You'' are not the atoms in your body, but the pattern of the atoms. Your consciousness is the emergent feature of that pattern, not of any particular individual atoms (...) ''. (the devil's words from the link) is this what you mean Ogdenz?
