Shiny Green Beetle "It was odd, of course, to feel that 'I' was not the same as these arms and legs 'out there,' as this wholly objective trunk and neck and even head. It was odd; but one soon got used to it. And anyhow the body seemed perfectly well able to look after itself. In reality, of course, it always does look after itself. All that the conscious ego can do is to formulate wishes, which are then carried out by forces which it controls very little and understands not at all" (p. 52). Huxley, Aldous. The Doors of Perception. 1954. Harper & Row, 1970. https://archive.org/details/the-doors-of-perception-huxley-aldous-1894-1963-1954-new-york-harper-97800608017/mode/2up
