Review:

Interconnected boxes made up of interconnected boxes made up of ..., LOTS of them, neurons, pretty much the same everywhere, spinal cord works by itself, "I-function" one of the boxes ... What did it make you think, wonder, worry about?

Gladys M. Baskerville	Dimner Beeber Middle School
Patrice J. Braxton	Fitzsimons Middle School	Can one actually move head to another body?
Karen Cohen	Abraham Lincoln High School
Robert A. Cole	Dimner Beeber Middle School
Sylvia Cooper	C.W. Henry Middle School
Christeena Mathews	Philadelphia High School for Girls
John Dalton	Abraham Lincoln High School	Is the "I function" synonomous with consciousness or consciousness/unconsciousness? Are I-function box borders different in different people?

I suspect that this type of person is ignoring all the possibilities that his/her brain is generating, and therefore, this person is limiting their own evolution. This type of person wants limits set on the world so that he /she does not have to face their own fears/desires/di ...
