1.2.6 [chapter 1, section 2, para 6]
2 The Missing Head
6. No. I am certain I am not shut up in the gloomy interior of any object, living my life there in its interstices. I have the experience of being at large in the world. I have the freedom of the universe, which is the material of my life. Between it & me I can discover no peep-hole or window-pane. Emphatically I do not have to sift the evidence to detect a world: my very being seems to consist in embracing it irrevocably. I am concentrating now on the ink marks I am making on paper, They are present to me; there is nothing also now but this paper, this blue & white pattern — no screen here (where I imagined I had a head) upon which a pattern is projected, no aperture, through which it is glimpsed. There is only the paper & its pattern. My head, my eyes, my brain — all are a myth. It is incredible that I ever believed in them.
