Background: View, or think back to http://www.ted.com/talks/bonnie_bassler_on_how_bacteria_communicate.html
which is Bonnie Bassler's wonderful TED talk on How Bacteria 'Talk'.
In that she described that bacteria track on both specie-specific and specie-non-specific chemical signals in their environment and, if that way can distinguish, roughly, between ~self and other. Of course, to an individual cell, this detection is very personal in that the structurally coded impressions are in various proportions to types of connections in receptor sites. And yes, it seem quite akin to various neural and neurotransmitter connections. Doesn't it?
Me-you. Self-other. Safety-threat. All not far from the subjective-objective duality or complimentarity.

In the trial theory I am advocating, so the story goes, our cells run the respiration reaction and generate stacks and sequences of the ~six possible states of water molecules being formed in the reaction, reflective of conditions in the surrounds. Now, if one is sensitive enough one can first imagine feeling and then, with some tree-hugging practice, *feel* the various feels that associate with the various structurally coded stacks that are always forming. Go ahead. Try it.
