Would you see sensation and felt-experience as two sides of the same
reality?
I would assume that sensation simply means that our bodies change in
response to our environment as science demonstrates.
I would then assume that these changes are experienced by us as either good
or bad or somewhere in between. Of course, as an individual and as a type
called a human being, we evolve and change within ourselves so that our
responses and values evolve and alter and this on physical, biological,
social, cultural, moral, aesthetic and intellectual levels.
[Case]
I would say sensation is purely a physiological response. The receptor cells
in our nervous system react to input from the environment. A felt-experience
suggest some processing going on; a sorting of the input, a bit organization
going on.
Our perception and our behavior is shaped by our reactions to stimulation
and the results those actions produce on the world. It is a feedback loop of
sorts.
