You are on to something. A logical consciousness of using words is
severly limited. The perspective is weird. There either is
limitation of constraint or there isn't, and what does that mean? It
is like OSHA making 10,000 rules to insure safety and then within
days forgetting the purpose is to ensure safety and focussing only on
the rules, regardless of effect.
I used to try to "think" myself out of problems with "consciousness."
I have discovered that what we call consciousness (control,
limitation, rationality, logic-at-all-costs), rules made out of words
was leading me nowhere. Feelings that come first and are explained
by words work well and change in every situation and use common
sense. Feelings derived from words and rules are always cockeyed. I
don't know if you know what I mean, or it it matters. It is hard to
explain.
I found that when everything I thought of felt derived from a logical
conscious progression I was "in trouble."
