in my post before the one about the black hole and such, I explained some stuff about how the occipital lobe makes it look like there is more about the counsciousness, But there are some pretty interesting theories about it:
1: you have three states of being, unconsiousness, the preconsiousness and the consciousness. in the way they are related to each other is: if you're reading a book, you know what you are reading but to recognise it your unconsiousness gives the memories to recognise the words to the preconsciousness, the preconsciousness relates the memories with the visible words and if they match (sometimes not, like misreading and a problem like dyslexia) it sends it through towards yourself (your "ME"/ your consciousness) so you can understand what is written there.
2: your consciousness does not exist, it's merely an illusion and your unconsciousness makes that illusion.
personaly I prefer the first one.....
and now my next post is about the Piramid of needs from Maslov
