I write books about nature, endangered animals and psychology. They all have a desire to understand what it was like to once be alive on the planet, what is sounded like, felt like, looked like and what the experience of living was all about. I rejoice in the sensations of the world, but I enjoy knowing what lies behind the everyday miracles that we take for granted. Sometimes it is because they have something to hide. Maybe they are afraid of intimacy.
Little boys make eye contact less often than little girls in studies.
In different cultures, making eye contact with people of the opposite sex is taboo. It is interesting that when people feel guilty, they have trouble making eye contact. The senses are a part of consciousness just like reflection and our ability to think about ourselves and our lives. These all evolved because they gave us the ability to survive in different climates. I think of the senses as being part of the great panorama of consciousness.
