You?
All these things do have one thing in common, however—they were generated through the brain. John’s brain
enabled him to become a school teacher, and it is through his brain that he feels awe when standing before a powerful
painting. A symphony of sensory input and memory within his brain gives rise to his reaction to freshly fallen rain. It is also
within his brain that he stores his definition of what it means to be a man, twenty-seven years old, and African-American.
In some sense, you could say that you are your brain. Or, at the very least, the brain is the instrument through which you experience all reality. And it is through it that you interact with reality—in every motional reaction, in every choice that you make, and in every dream that you dream. Everything you
ever have been or will become is because of your brain.
