consciousness in which thinking and awareness separate. Awareness being the conscious connection with univeresal intelligence. It is presence, consciousness without thought. Instead of being lost in our thinking, when you are awake you recognize yourself as the awareness beind it. See Edkhardt Tolle. Also the fallacy of I think,therefore I am as espoused by Descartes. The thinker and the I am are not the same and Sartre saw this. The consciousness that says I am is not the consciousness that thinks. When you are aware you are thinking, that awareness is not part of thinking. If there were nothing but thinking in you you would not even know you are thinking. Again see Eckhardt Tolle's A New Earth...Awakening to Your Liffe's Purpose. In summary, Awaken.
