479741 2006-08-21 01:52:00 In my youth, I would have defined consciousness as that split second between opening my eyes, and asking myself "where the *cough* heck am I?"

It is a instant and total awareness of self, with startling clarity, possibly enhanced by shuddering recognition that there is an alien lifeform lying close by. :yuck:

Your mileage may have varied.

We get glimpses as you know,but as a rule we seem to prefer the scattered mind.

Which may be a step in right direction.
