Sensing

The wind we cannot see we sense on skin;
put on, take off a sweater.
The light we do not feel, except as heat,
but see with human eyes
we also measure by thermometers
as by assigned degrees.

Then what of mind? Does mind exist as “out there?”
Brain is certainly physical,
but mind is not.
Mind is a complex concept created by our brain
that is verified by other brains which provide support. 

Conceptualizing, thus, is understood as communal action. 

What makes our concepts real
is verification by the active minds of others,
is empirically proved,
and, thus, accepted as something independently existent,
though were all minds gone, so too
would be conceptual existence.  

But then ask whence concepts come?
Is has to be from experience, 
things seen that are also independent:
the “facts of things”
and the ways in which they relate.
These we build up as we experience.

Just as math is tested by experience, 
it is also used 
to understand what it is we experience
which is proved right
only if consistent with experience.

Only then does experience become real. 
All “reality” we experience as “conception,”
and, to that extent, all we experience is “ideal”
but is also may be judged as “out there,”  
by the constant testing of what we experience.
