Neurons And Psyches II

The Day Of Their Return, 20.

A reference to Chereionite psychology and neurology makes me think of philosophy. Most of this post is philosophy but at the end it connects with the Chereionite, Aycharaych.

When both cause and effect are objective, then we empirically observe both the cause and the effect and also the connection between them whereas, when the cause is objective but the effect is subjective, then we observe only the cause. I see you hit your thumb with a hammer and also both see and hear your response but cannot see or otherwise observe your pain. Anything that we might identify as the connection between cause and effect, like the transmission of impulses from your thumb to your brain, remains an empirically observed process and therefore cannot explain the qualitative transformation from objectivity to subjectivity.

We empirically observe subjects because every subject - that we have encountered so far - is an organism with a central nervous system, not some invisible entity residing within or behind the organism. What remains empirically unobservable is a subject's inner, subjective or psychological processes - sensations, perceptions, experiences, observations, thoughts, feelings etc. These processes are neither the subject himself, the organism, nor any of the objects of his consciousness, his environment and its contents, but his interactions with those objects. The inner processes are not invisible objects. They cannot be detected with scientific instruments as if they were sub-atomic particles.

So what does Aycharaych, the universal telepath, do? I do not think that he observes anyone's thoughts as if from outside, an impossible task. He must experience the thoughts as their thinker does, including that other being's understanding of his own thoughts, then afterwards remember the understanding.
