Human Understanding (Locke) page 92 (8)

"This is certain, that whatever alterations are made in the body, if they reach not the mind; whatever impressions are made on the outward parts, if they are not taken notice of within; there is no perception." I believe this is a good point Locke makes about the distinction between the mind and the body. The two have to be linked in order to feel. The mind and the body are not so much two different identity's as much as they are actually good friends working together. In order for the body to recognize and perceive any feeling; it has to be registered in the mind in order for the body to understand what is going on and what is happening.
