"Consciousness is born through the body's ability to perceive impressions arising As a result of body activity." "The entire structure of consciousness with its behavioral control mechanisms is rooted in unconscious bodily processes that sustain the functioning of the living organism."
Alexander Lowen, Voice of the Body
The body is an independent entity, capable of maintaining its own being, growth and regeneration. However, is the body the Self? I can observe it, feel it with my senses, control it to some extent. So we are together - I and my body. If so, then who is the Self that possesses the body? I manifest through it, realize through it, define myself and the external world. I and my body abide together in a common existence, and we recognize each other through touch and inner dialogue. We are.
