I think you can in principle be an intelligent without a body, but in humans, our perception of the world is an extension of the body in space.

I don't think we can be conscious at any level without a material existence. Thoughts are energy (non-material) patterns, but matter is needed to contain the thoughts. Only matter can be conscious (and intelligent). This text isn't intelligent. The brain that considers them is.

Well, they aren't real, as they are just concepts we use to represent reality. They are a way to categorize the difference between the two most exteme experiences of reality: nothingness/pure-contraction/location and everythingness/pure-expansion/change.

Reality is the physical ground truth of the universe. It is the subject of foundational physics. Experience is phenomenology, and generated in brains, as part of an attempt to model reality.

OK, so you are looking at higher consciousness (2nd person aka, emotional, third person aka intellectual, 4th person, aka philosophical) experiences here. I include your "unconscious" physical (first person) experiences that are literally what reality IS, in "experience".

No, I don’t think that we can get our words to mean similar things.

Yeah, that's ok. They don't need to mean the same things. As long as at least one of us understands what the other means. I think I understand your meanings.

I am pretty sure you don’t, and your thinking is so muddled that you cannot know that. The pattern I try to discuss is simple but well defined. Your filter softens the structural order to much that you cannot discern its details any more.

That's a pretty good way of describing the difference between our brains. Yours is very focused on narrow details (masculine), while mine is focused on the broad view (feminine). Bu, you talk in broad-view language, so it takes exploration to understand which detail you mean.

I am constructing a broad view from narrow detail.
