Well....that would get into 'What *are* emotions?' Are they some
sixth sense? Are they beyond the five senses? I don't know. What
about endorphins? We can, already, trigger specific endorphins.
Specific endorphines can make you feel turned on, or give you wam
fuzzies, or ...uh...chilly pricklies (?), as well as a general feel of
well being, contentment. Endorphines are chemicals. That's all that
I take SimSense to be; triggering chemicals in your brain, in a
particulat pattern of series, which simulates the feel/taste/smell and
such.
Next, we do know that astral projection, while is, by definition, out
of the body, the brain records, or at least registers this. No, i am
not talking about the mages remembering the experience, but what about
when things get dicey in the astral? What happend to the meat-bod?
Look in the novel Night's Pawn. In there, Church is gettin
transported from one location to another (I think it's in Texas near
the Azzie border). The mage goes Astral during the firefight, and
when she encounters another mage during the fight, Church sits by and
watches as her body twitched/thrashed about, grimacing and grunting.
What causes the reaction? Even if it is a small reaction, the brain
sends the body info, via electrical pulses and such, saysing, "OK, now
move that leg back and forth a bunch," or whatever. There *are*
things to be recorded....the brain is obviously getting info from the
Astral bod, hence the reaction to the action in astral, so, why
couldn't it be recorded?
