since when is the brain *not* totally unified w/ the body and vice versa? 
[despite Descartes is pumping his fist in the air, "yeah, keep 'em separate! it 
keeps ma dream alive"] I'm waiting to see consciousness/brain/mind existing 
without said body in complete continuous connection... Entering the body occurs 
through any receptive field of the Self, and I'd call it the very definition of 
intimacy when one is expressing energies that are entering an Other's body *and 
changing the neurosensory system itself,* for that effect is to change how the 
Other experiences the world...
