As one
In the past you were pressing the bits within the vulva region too firmly. At other times too lightly. You realise now that you were not positioning your fingers accurately enough. After all these years you finally discover that you have been doing it all wrong. You now know what rhythm works best. Now you sense the joy, the pleasure, the delight first hand. Exactly as she. A first-person experience of what it is like to be a woman.
Whilst connected, you learn that she does love you in many ways, but some things bother her far more than you realised. You ransack the memory banks for truth. The affairs were more of a damp squib than action that led to damp sheets. She has quite a lot of money hidden in a bank, a bank that you often walk by but have never entered.
You understand her childhood trauma, how it affected her and how she exaggerates some aspects and plays down quite a lot. You now understand where the sense of entitlement comes from. She had it easy on the whole. It was not all hard work and perseverance but unlimited generosity that she benefited from. You can see how she blames herself for that traumatic episode and fathom that it was careless, but not her fault.
She herself has memories of her generosity that she showed others. These enlighten you. Whilst connected you decide to test her thinking system. You transfer a puzzle from your mind into her mind and set it to work. It struggles. However, answers to other puzzles spring into clarity most rapidly. She has a wealth of information and like you, lots of clutter.
Welcome to the era of the thalamic bridge.
Two people can be joined and share consciousness. When you are joined, you can each taste things how the other tastes them. You can see how others see. You had suspicions that this partner of yours saw red objects a little darker, a little pinker than you. Now you know for sure how she experiences various colours.
This is not a concept from the future. This is today. Possible; a proven capability that has existed long before the year 2026. Some conjoined twins can do all the above, though not always as a male experiencing the mind/body of a female. Many conjoined twins can use each other’s mouths for a sense of taste. Some conjoined twins can use each other’s eyes to see. And much more. They can have both a personal sensation of consciousness and a shared sensation of consciousness. Consciousness is after all, not a thing as such but a system, a sensation, an experience.
Your partner and you by means of the thalamic bridge, can detect the level of salt, pepper and thyme in the sauce entering her mouth. The sound of the crunch of the crisp upon which the sauce is spread dictates how crunchy the crisp appears to be, more so than the resistance to the biting force of her teeth. The sound matters.
Consciousness is a multifaceted system with inputs containing feedback loops. One example being when the imaging area struggles to render with sufficient brightness, it instructs the pupils to open wider.
Wavelengths of light are converted and rendered in colour to aid contrast. To see berries amongst the leaves. For some, sounds and taste are rendered in colour too. Synaesthesia. This is significant. It is not just images from your eyes that lead to colour being rendered in the mind’s eye system. Many types of Input can invite rendering.
Brown is rendered from a mixture of wavelengths. A colour not found in a rainbow. Colours we ‘see’ are imagined entirely. They are all relative with masks and filters added by the rendering machine to help you understand what is before you. Some saw a gold dress. Others saw a blue dress. The difference lay in how each of our rendering machines assumed and thereby adjusted the ‘colours’ we were presented with internally.
Tales surrounding thalamic bridges help us uncover the nature of consciousness.
Any suggestion that our thoughts, feelings and experiences are personal and will always be personal is misleading. It is akin to saying that one can disconnect a computer from the internet making it private and once private that it can’t be reconnected.
For once I am not going to point you towards my book to understand the rendering system, the mind's eye etc. What I suggest instead, is to spend some time looking at optical illusions for they tell us a lot. This one above demonstrates that brown can be rendered differently in our minds depending on what colour surrounds it.
