Hora del Este, Nueva York
En Tres aserciones sobre el cuerpo, Gendlin dice que nuestros cuerpos son heredados de las plantas. Las plantas, sin tener cerebro ni sistema nervioso ni los cinco sentidos, crean sus cuerpos de la luz, del aire, del agua, de la tierra. Nuestras sensaciones corporales con significado vienen de esta capacidad de las plantas de sentir lo que necesitan y recibirlo del entorno.
