When you close your eyes and try to
think of the shape of your own body, what you {{U}}(36) {{/U}}is quite
different{{U}} (37) {{/U}}what you see when you open your eyes and look
{{U}}(38) {{/U}}the mirror. The image you feel{{U}} (39)
{{/U}}is a bit different from the one you see. And if{{U}} (40)
{{/U}}lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any
particular size or{{U}} (41) {{/U}}. When you move, when
feel the weight of your arms and{{U}} (42) {{/U}}, the 'felt' image
of{{U}} (43) {{/U}}starts to become clearer. The image you create for
yourself is rather{{U}} (44) {{/U}}: some parts feel much{{U}} (45)
{{/U}}than they look. If you use your tongue to feel a hole in one of
your{{U}} (46) {{/U}}, it{{U}} (47) {{/U}}so large; you are
often{{U}} (48) {{/U}}by how small it looks when you see{{U}} (49)
{{/U}}in the mirror. But although the 'felt'{{U}} (50)
{{/U}}may not have the shape you see in the mirror, it is much{{U}} (51)
{{/U}}important. It is the image through{{U}} (52) {{/U}}you see
your physical existence{{U}} (53) {{/U}}the world. If the 'felt' image
is damaged{{U}} (54) {{/U}}any reason — if it is cut in half or lost —
to feel a pain or find your nose in the dark becomes{{U}} (55)
{{/U}}impossible.
