Question: Can you feel yourself thinking!?
When you have a good think about something like a philosophy question then can you sort of feel your brain stretching and squelching as it puzzles out dilemas and ideas!?
Does that mean you are feeling your brain working - as in literally moving and processing!?
Does that mean that people who dont like philosophy type questions and thinking dont like their brain working and moving in that way and people who dont like more structured and perscribed thinking get a sore brain if it isnt stretched and moved in the ways it likes to work and process!?
So back to my origional question can you feel yourself thinking!? - ever said this is hurting my brain!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow! I never really thought about it before!. If I think about feeling inside my head to see if I can feel myself thinking, then I kind of do feel myself thinking!. But it's all in my head!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
since i have to think about feeling what i am thinking, i would say that i can think myself feeling!. but i guess i could feel myself thinking if i were to think about the feeling that i was feeling when i was thinking!. or i could think about thinking about feeling about thinking!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
You are not your brain!. You are consciousness!. Your brain and body are for perceiving the physical world!. If you feel something, you are perceiving the world, that's not thought or consciousness from which the Universe is created!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Thinking is the only feeling that you can feel!. Because if you think about your aunts death it will give you a feel, if you think about a cinema you feel it, If you think about food you feel it, etc!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
When new connections are made, it does have a physiological effect that can be perceived!. I'm just not sure it's been documented, though I believe I have perceived it as heat and have even experienced sweating as a result!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
It is mind-expanding, not brain-expanding!. What!? You want your skull to bust wide open!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
