in regards to the first chapter, i t seem to me that the mind/ body has no limit, or maybe some can sense into their mind allot about many things and others allot about one specialty.
A nurtured body is probably more capable.
Speech , sensed through the body channels alters the mind,makes sense to me.
Things that hurt the body reach the mind very fast.
I'm convince, at this point, that the soul is actually one. mind and body.

I want to wait until others read the book, or the first chapter. I;m not for skipping chapters because that suggests a apriori judgemnt.

Regarding the body/mind, if the mind is embodied, then what are the limits of the body? Skin surface in? Do we include bodily fluids and wastes as part of the body? Do we include speech? Do we include things thrown from the body? Where does the body begin and end? These may seem like ridiculous questions but if there is a soul that is co-existent with the body or at one with it, then we need to know the extension of the body, or the soul.

The next one is pretty farfetched-George Eliot's
writing   prefigures the
brain replacing its own cells all its   life, thus
establishing human freedom.
Perhaps we could skip to the chapter on Proust?
