“Internal mental experience is not the product of a photographic process. Internal reality is in fact constructed by the brain as it interacts with the environment in the present, in the context of its past experiences and expectancies of the future. At the level of perceptual categorizations, we have reached a land of mental representations quite distant from the layers of the world just inches away from their place inside the skull. This is the reason why each of us experiences a unique way of minding the world.”
— Daniel J. Siegel, completed his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and his post-graduate medical education at UCLA, The Mindful Brain: Reflection and Attunement in the Cultivation of Well-Being, W. W. Norton & Company, 2007, p. 166-167.
