Of course not but you ignored that the CNS can still 'think' it is there.Dontaskme wrote:You've avoided the question.
Is the severed arm aware of itself?
Once again you are mixing and matching this term 'awareness' what do you mean when you use it?You said the body is aware, if that is true, then the severed arm will know it has been severed...don't forget the arm is now detached from the CNS...how is that arm aware now it is detached from the rest of the body...?
The body is aware of itself, how do you think you it notifies itself of an injury?
Try the experiment of noticing whilst sitting if the body moves itself to get comfortable before you become aware that it has done so. The body does such things all the time to keep balance without you being aware of this.Here, is it seen that parts can never be aware, there is only ever wholeness aware of it's parts.
