How to Study Consciousness

The way that we interact with Western philosophy or there are just the way that we, we go about it is totally different. I don't think reading it without, without the practice involved really will help me understand consciousness. If you're involved in some sort of contemplative practice that where the goal is over some really long period of time, consistent effort will get me to have certain kinds of thoughts more or less frequently and so on. It's a very different way of doing experiments.
