Codified existense within a Medium

Is it weird that so much of identity is superficial?..... The worlds of fashions and beauty define ourselves as our bodies. An exterior medium that houses us, grounds us to the earth and equates to our conscious reality.... What would it be like to be without our body? Without sight, sound, touch.... just pure thought. Is pure thought even possible.... the only explanation I can think of is emotions. However, emotions always have a humanly context. Emotion is not a sense... it is an earthly phenomenon that occurs internally. It is culturally learnt but unpredictably dependent on personality. Personality is a strange term to think of... It materialises itself through gestures and words. But where does it come from? Ideas? Are the matrixing together of memories codified by cultural/genetic processing. Intelligence is a reaction of the cells within our body, linking of knowledge- The act of creation--- an ethereal scenario occuring deep within our consciousness completely out of conscious control and beyond our empirical exterior world. We are placed in this world, we define it and are defined by it, encased and conditioned. What is it to imagine an experience outside of this body, without earthly desires, ailments or sensation. Inconceivable. What interests me is how music appears to communicate a pure sort of energy, it moves in a language intuitively formed within. Aesthetically appealing to our corporeality and magicly transcending emotions and pure ideas to our inner, enclosed realm of uncoded thought. Energy flows throughout all matter, spreading and sucking from one physical presence to another. It is my opinion that music is the medium that describes this sense of action and movement best and translates it to pure thought. The earthly translation that loses nothing to coding.
