It means that all that I have lived, experienced, and done «in my
body» — and that is everything I do, experience, and live — is so much a

But when you analyze your brain, you will find inside it a set
of nerve cells that form a large complex: one that can distinguish among a large repertoire
of states in a way that its

other set
of nerve cells, more
than the entire
body,
than any crowd
of men,
than the
world itself.»
