Is There a Dynamic of Consciousness?
The word, I mean, this is the interesting thing about language actually, is that language quite obviously is an interface to truth. It's so fascinating that individual words can have so much ambiguity and the slight, the specific choices of a word within a particular sentence could have such a difference in meaning. And so you have to be both precise and help them avoid getting stuck on some kind of side road of miscommunication, loss and translation because you use the wrong word. So we can imagine a dynamics of consciousness, not in space and time, just abstractly; it could be cooperative for all we know or very friendly.
