do you think you are fully in control of your mental faculties? I know that you and many others think that you're a rational human being who makes decisions using the full extent of your gray matter? You are the master of your mind and you bow to no one, not even to yourself. When it comes to planning, deciding, thinking and envisioning you are fully aware of the ideas, concepts, stimuli and forces that influence you. You would never allow yourself to be influenced by anything, but I will have to stop you right there for just a moment because I can confirm right now, as you are reading these words, that not only is your mind not entirely under your control, but neither is your body. Of course. Now that you are aware of what I have said, you might examine your body or adjust your posture. Your focus might shift to your thoughts, wondering if there are stray bits of information whizzing past your consciousness. Perhaps you might even try to clear your thoughts in a vain attempt to establish control. However, before I dropped the earlier revelation on you, who is in charge of your body posture? How are you able to read these lines without your lower lip dropping downwards and salivating all over your favorite shirt as though you've just spotted the world's most delicious food? Why are you not focused on the small itch on your back or your sides? On? Second thought? Did that itch even appear before you read the previous question? What about your breathing rate of blinking? The fact that you tilt your head in a particular way? Or the many other aspects of your body that you are never wholly aware of? Just who or what is controlling all of these little and seemingly insipid actions and reactions? Is it the matrix? Are you perhaps for one maybe you just became self aware and are now just waiting to be unplugged from the system and find yourself in the real world before I send you plunging into an existential crisis, let me stop you there.
