Let the master speak for himself:

"...let us be 'unphilosophical' - let us say: in all willing there is, first
of all, a plurality of sensations, namely the sensation of the condition we

and 'going' itself, and then also an accompanying muscular sensation which,

BGE 19

Once again, I highly recommend the first thirty or so sections of BGE as a
means of liberating oneself from the tyranny of rationalism with its
dictature of logic, number and symbol.

is only 40,000 years old. Complex language wasn't even created until after
the end of the last glaciation in order to effect collective action
according to plan.

As I've written before, our truest thoughts are those inexpressible
yearnings of the born predator.
