Impressions from the outside (through
hearing, touch,
sight, taste, smell or telepathy) strike upon us, and we react to them
after they have penetrated into us to a certain depth. These processes
are called afferent and efferent by some psychologists. There is a
point, however, where the afferent ceases and the efferent begins, and
in that I am or you are.
