I suspect that, in these cases, I was conscious to a quite high degree as I performed the act, but either did not commit it to memory, or can no longer recall those memories. Given that some people (though not me) have ‘photographic’ memories, I lean towards the latter.
- kukkeliskuu 2y agoIf we agree that there are levels of consciousness, then fundamentally we are in agreement. The disagreement is just what level of consciousness we call "being conscious". G.I. Gurdjieff uses the terms "sleep", "sleeping consciousness" and "waking consciousness" respectively to refer to states where you sleep or are otherwise unconscious, where you may think you have been conscious but do not remember being conscious and where you remember being conscious. There is a good reason why many traditions that investigate consciousness have seperate words for the two latter states.
