Something "Other"

Antonio da Correggio


A machine cannot remember itself, at best it can have a connection to the outside world through the lower centers and an instinctive awareness of its surroundings. The act of self remembering is when something "Other" than the machine kicks in or connects, and how can that happen?


I put it to you that when you are not present and suddenly that familiar connection occurs, that it is something outside the machine that "arrives". At this point you can make a right effort and try to prevail and sustain the state for a little while longer.
