The Projecting Brain

General Semanticists have long known that "The brain is an organ that locates its experiences elsewhere." We feel body parts outside the brain. We hear near to far -- all outside the brain. We see way out there -- way outside the brain. All of these experiences are neurological processes going on inside the brain. We dream - and experience events that the brain places outside itself. We hallucinate at times - with brain activity projected outside of itself. Moving our point-of-view outside the brain is a simple adaptation of the normal projection function of the brain. The movie running in the projector is projected outside itself onto the two dimensional screen far from the projector. The brain doesn't have a screen or a light beam, so it projects "virtual" light onto a "virtual" screen in three dimensions ranging from inside the body to as far as the stars we see. The experience of seeing happens inside the brain, but the brain builds that picture all around itself, from here to infinity.
