>Where does this inexplicable, inner SENSATION of blue come from, if there's no source of 450 nm light in the image?

bundles of association.
take red:
>blood-> violence
>someone blushing
>dawn

all these prehistoric feelings get wrapped up in a bundle of which we conceive of red.
we´re just a shitty computer with lots of bloatware

Ok let´s take this thread in another direction.

I thought like 2 hours about this stuff cause i couldnt sleep and came to this conclusion:
>1.there is a static self made up on the sum of your memories/experiences shaping your character through which you filter incoming stimulus
>2. there is a dynamic self which is just pure experience in the now. these experiences depend only on the outside actions to your consciousness and get filtered through your static self

where to go from there??
the concept of static self is the thing i hear in psycog and philsophy discussion about the self.
the dynamic self is the stuff spiritual teachers talk i guess and sounds a lot more interesting to me.

how make i sense of this dynamic self?
is this the spark which started with my first conscious experience and severed me from the rest of the universe and went on from then like a wall clashing through the sum of my experiences of my life growing my static self into my personality?
it sounds pretty much like the reason to me on why i am locked in to being only myself and only experience my life and not others right now.
