Earlier I said I have direct perception to my thoughts but it is more accurate to say that I have perceptual access to my thoughts.

In the view of Descartes to think is to know that one exists. But the question is to exist as what, as mind or as mind in body? In some ways dualism is correct. There does seem to be these two separate “things”. I will argue that one is an illusion. I will argue that one relies on the other.

The way we have access to the mind is important. I believe without the body we have no mind. I believe this because of the evidence, not because of blind faith.
