Thots

The nervous system, with its sensory organs being at first genetically determined, constitutes the first set of biological filters that distinguishes external reality from our internal representation of that same reality. Furthermore, our genetically endowed biological limitations allow us to understand only a small portion of the true nature of human functionality. This is in part because our emotional development is so evenly correlated to our physical development. This correlation exists not only in a physiological capacity, but also in a psychological one. For example, from the moment an individual identifies with his body, and becomes aware of his surrounding environment, the rising level of emotional cognizance creates an existential need to survive, along with a powerful fear of death. This is the level in which man's emotional and thought processes, as well as his personal will, first begin to develop. For instance, the period in which an infant begins to develop the capacity to differentiate between himself and his surroundings is most often the same period in which the child’s motor skills begin to develop. The child starts to walk and to talk and at the same time, and becomes more emotionally separated from others due to an increased sense of awareness and independence.
