And then, much too much to be known and surmised about qualia aka experiences
Luce Irigaray
Wandering to the Source of the Intimate
"Another era of speech is opening. In which it lets itself put in question with a view to dialogue, dialogues. It is no longer only speech which allots to the subjects, from what is hidden in its interlacings, the task of realizing an appropriate denomination., giving to them and taking from them the word by a gesture alone." on the next page, "The subject then accepts being unsheltered."
Near the end of her "The Way of Love"
"The light that someone radiates is not necessarily perceived as such by the one who gives it to be seen. Perhaps it grants the peace that whoever dwells in oneself experiences. And, with it, the joy. A proof that mortals are destined to light, but a light often visible through the effects rather than in itself. And which lights up the night while letting it rest in darkness"
also see her earlier, "Speculum of the other Woman" much to consider, digest, act upon, humbly shrink from

Vittorio Gallese, University of Parma, The Hand and the Architect: gesture and creative expression
"The ultimate meaning of any building is beyond architecture; it directs our consciousness back to the world and towards our own sense of self and being. Significant architecture makes us experience ourselves as complete embodied and spiritual beings." 2014

"Midway through the journey of our life, I found myself within a dark wood. For the right way had been lost."
Dante Alighieri
"The past is not dead; it's not even past." Wm. Faulkner
Edith Stein
"The world I glimpse in fancy is a non-existing world because of its conflict with my primordial orientation. Nor do I need to bring this non-existence to givenness as I live in fancy. The world I glimpse empathically is an existing world, posited as having being like the world primordially perceived. The perceived world and the world given empathically is the same world differently seen."
"Is it essentially necessary that the mind can only enter into exchange with mind through the medium of corporeality?

Other very recent posts: how we perceive the truth; the need for empathetic citizens; and, how music affects the brain. (each about thirty minutes)

What brings us together and separates us? Shelters from the storms?
"In the kiva, Jared observed that the village men 'like your
uncle, your maternal grandfather, your father' are charged with the duty of
passing on knowledge about the Hopi world to youth that is often expressed
through song: 'They give you a lesson about the song, the story behind the song…mostly
(describing) nature – the clouds, the fields of corn, everybody being happy.'
Sekaquaptewa (personal communication, May 25, 2004) confirmed this, 'the words
[of social dance songs] paint images of a beautiful world, prosperity, with the
rains bringing all of that so that people can feel good about seeing this image
as something they all would want.' "
