Why Did Descartes Separate Himself From God
the Bible (revelation), but dared not publish his Treatise on Man
(1664) while alive to avoid being accused of heresy: He voted an unpaired “teardrop,” the pineal gland, as the seat of the soul, reached by light through the eyes as its windows, and energizing the nerves to move muscles. Thus did Descartes separate himself from God, “a substance infinite,” and join body and soul, only to be misinterpreted as separating mind and matter or child and Mater:
“I think, therefore I am.” catatonic. Rigid but not stiff like the autistic (which see), inelastic
(waxlike positions, when modified under physical pressure, are maintained as modified before, even after release), concerned with what might eventuate, warded off by stereotyped gestures or
mannerism
