Thank you for taking the time to respond, Julian Giulio. We agree on a lot of things. This article is just part of a very large book that I am publishing on Medium, called “Tranquillity’s Secret.” Take a look at these articles for my thoughts on the subjects you mentioned in your response:

This Visceral Feeling of Self

Searching for Happiness? Then You’re Doing It Wrong

Mapping Concepts To Reality

(I recommend the whole book, of course, but these reply to/support what you have written.

Thanks again.
