the argument is that reality is dimensional
that where mind exists it is two dimensional
and where it doesn't exist it is one dimensional
the existence of mind adds a dimension to reality
mind relative to the physical world - the material world - is internal
where there is mind it is the internal dimension of the entity
i.e. in a human being the body is the external dimension
the mind internal
consciousness is internality - internality is consciousness
if we examine the body at any level i.e. biological, molecular - we are only examining
the surface
the mind on the other hand is pure internality
when we speak of human being as an entity - i.e. 'a human being' - or some such non-
dimensional expression - we are referring to a unity -
that which is the unity of dimensions - is unknown
hence - non-dimensional - essentially non-descriptive terms are used such as 'person'
such an entity can only be understood and hence described - dimensionally
i.e. with human beings we speak of their physical (external) health and their mental
(internal) health -
an event that affects the unity will register on the outside and in the inside
that is an event can have a physical and mental impact
and therefore descriptions
the class of events that this is true of is known events
what of unknown events - i.e. events on the surface (body) that do not register in
consciousness?
these events are purely physical - external until they are made - known to
consciousness
until that is we become aware of them - and I'm thinking here of say the awareness
that comes with a doctor's explanation of the test results - so it's not immediate
conscious awareness
all conscious events - internal events - will have some physical (external) co-relate
hence it is possible in principle to identify the fact of thought in body (surface)
activity
