Do you gnow?

The living, experiencing body relates to its environment by projecting its experience as an external world, by presenting it as separate from and outside of oneself. We can only mention this from a third-person point of view, because of course we do not experience this projection as a projection, but rather as the external world itself. Thus it is true to say that we have no knowledge of the external world, since all we have and all we are is the lived body. From a different but equally valid point of view, it is true to say that bodymind constructs an internal model of the external world, and that model constitutes knowledge of it.
