Analysis of Presence of mind and body.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Presence of mind is something kept
Through pleasure focused on the self.
Presence of mind is something shared
Through pleasure focused on another being.
Presence of mind is something kept
When you are protecting yourself from fear
Presence of mind is something shared between one who protects you from fear.
Presence of mind is something kept when listening to inner thoughts.
Presence of mind is something shared when focusing on outer thoughts.
