Consciousness

There is no indexicality of consciousness. It merely persists through the gorges of cognition, bound by motivation and limited by its current state. The subtlety is the key.

“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.”  ― Max PanckCommonly misattributed to SchrödingerConsciousness is it’s content. You are memory— "@mykola r"Attributed to a "Gnostic bot" on a Discord server. R. 26. Maí, 2020.Why would consciousness be limited to our limited understanding of it?--- G. Eiríksson (Jan, 2021).Conciousness is the appearance and quality of nothing
-- person on discordConsciousness is a person's awareness or perception of something, commonly used to refer to being aware of one's surroundings. Since humans are not merely external creatures, but are also internal or mental creatures, consciousness also refers to awareness of internal things or happenings, such as perceptions or feelings. Indeed, the human understand what is outside of it through his consciousness of how it is represented inside of him (often said to be "in the brain", "in the neuronal system", "in the heart", most commonly). This meaning of the word consciousness dates to at least the 1630s, as "internal knowledge," from conscious + -ness. Meaning "state of being aware of what passes in one's own mind" is from 1670s; meaning "state of being aware" of anything is from 1746. 
The philosopher Eric Voegelin identified two structures of consciousness as ordering principles in various cultures. These are compact and differentiated consciousness: Compact simply means that consciousness contains aspects which could be, but have not yet been, distinguished. Self-reflection reveals aspects which we had not previously recognized. Examples: “myth” is a compact symbolization of truths later differentiated as “philosophy”. “Common sense” is a compact form of reason which can be differentiated into logic and virtues of prudence, experience, etc. “Compact” is not more primitive than “differentiated”; symbols of each sort can be evaluated as to their adequacy in representing truth.— «Advice for those who want to read Eric Voegelin»"Consciousness-raising" is a phrase traced to 1968 by etymonline.com
Misinformed consciousness has been referred to as idolism or false consciousness. Idola specus (singular Idolum specus), normally translated as "Idols of the Cave" (or "Idols of the Den"), is a type of logical fallacy whereby the peculiar biases of individuals lead them to errors.

----People don't actually have consciousness until they are 30 years old. Those former years are all false memories.
