Now, to address your question. To me it is clear that knowledge that we are
going to sneeze, or are engaged in sneezing, is just as much a perception as if
we reflectively decide to take the kids to the zoo? So what is it that you
are looking at here Bernard - You’ve got me interested?

I think that what you are homing in on, is not so much an attempt to
distinguish a difference between a sensorial awareness of the fact that we are about
to or engaged in the act of sneezing, and the awareness of deciding to take the
kids to the zoo, but simply pointing to the different causal objects which
stimulate such responses, and the different reactions which ensue in regard to
the contrasting causal objects - i.e., the irritated nasal sensors on the one
hand, and the kids on the other.

Jud,
I am attempting to distinquish (in your view) the sensorium of the autonomic
system which is largely unconscious and that of the common sense perceptions
that are not.
sincerely;
Bernard
