This may not be very traditional as people seem to thrive to find a truth in life, but does it really matter whether Dickinson is right, or even Descartes? I admit, it would be nice to know whether my brain is creating the world I live in, for me, or whether Descartes view is correct. Whether Descartes is correct or not I like to think about the world from Dickinson's point of view. It would be nice to think that the world is almost magical in that my brain is creating what it wants. My question then is- is my brain acting on it's own? I know that my brain is apart of my body, but it has so much power over me that is it possible that i am in a sense separate from my brain?
