What Is the Difference Between Black Lab Consciousness and Mindfulness?

There's no, as it was said before, metacognition. No awareness of the mental process. Labs just running from one sense of impression to the next. Literally being let around by the nose. So to understand the difference between this Black Lab consciousness and mindfulness and mindful knowing, there's one very clear way of understanding and seeing for ourselves what the difference is. And that is pay careful attention to those moments when you awaken from being lost in a thought. That moment of transition is very revealing. We get a very clear, immediate, direct, intuitive experience of what it means to be awake.
