Researchers have, for the first time, coaxed human stem cells to become sensory interneurons – the cells that give us our sense of touch. The new protocol could be a step toward stem cell-based therapies to restore sensation in paralyzed people who have lost feeling in parts of their body. (1)

We want to sense. We want to touch. And when we cannot, we create that sense. We believe we are liberated by our senses. But sensing, touching, means exactly the opposite. Sensing is about being somewhere and getting specific interactions change you. While on the other hand being means exactly the opposite. Touching means being connected with specific things which affect you. Things which set the context of your existence and its boundaries. But existing means being; affecting the universe around you instead of being affected by it.

We are free spirits. Imprisoned in a cage.

And we started loving this cage. Feeling safe whenever we touch it…

Look at the light. It is everywhere. Does it “sense” anything? Catch a photon. Make it “sense” (interact) with your measuring device. Does it feel “liberated”? Seek liberty in nothingness. Seek infinity into zero. Start counting and you will enslave yourself. Start sensing and you will immediately lose connection with everything…
