I think our minds talk to our hands the same way as our hands talk to the world around us. We can do the mime artist inside-a-box act, but we actually know pretty confidently when we are inside a box or not.
@szmako There's quite a few theories on the type of illusions we may be I'm pretty confident. I think the main point they are making is the world doesn't exist as we perceive it. Our brains put all of the sensory information together into this "World" that we see. They aren't saying every one is delusional. The universe isn't colors and feelings and tastes and smells. That's just what our mind turns it into so we can make enough sense of it to function in it. We may be a beings dream. Who knows?

@szmako no, if something is conscious it's not really just an illusion. I'm not sure, I can't type well on my iPod and this stuff confuses me :P

To my way of thinking, this video smells like "What the bleep do we know?" or Chopra's quantum woowoo. No hard feelings!

When I'm attacked by a predator in Africa(e.g.), does it only exist in my brain??? Or when I feel like shitting, is it only an illusion??
