I tried to imagine what it would be like to think like one of you, so I laid down and listened to sounds. I heard my saliva swishing in my mouth. I felt my arms and legs and thought, 'this is a mass of biology.' Born, growing, someday it will be dead worm food. 'I'm doing it' I thought, 'interesting.' I thought about how I could exist this way and then I realised I am self-aware and how observations of such things involves brain power and mindfullness beyond biology, and I was using that dimension of self, I became aware of other and felt a regard for other and it's/their well being. 'Oh know,' I thought... now I am slipping into consciousness, next I will be thinking of purposefulness, then meaningfulness, what next... 'rats.' said I, 'I have failed at my task of thinking like a soul less person. I don't mind failing at such things though.

No one has ever accused you of being lite on imagination.

BTW interesting away of getting around my questions.
