Consciencia

"...with symmetrical relations alone, there cannot be consciousness in human beings. ... The mode of being revealed in consciousness… requires, as an essential feature, the use of asymmetrical relations. Consciousness cannot exist without asymmetrical relations, because the essence of consciousness is to distinguish and to differentiate and that cannot be done with symmetrical relations alone".
(MB, 1975, p. 96)

"...we can consider consciousness or asymmetrical being as spatio-temporal".
(MB, 1975, p. 109)

"...consciousness can only contain highly 'asymmetrised' symmetrical pieces…"
(MB, 1975, p. 113) 

"As symmetry is always wrapped in asymmetry, some of the symmetrical being is directly apparent to consciousness".
(MB, 1975, p. 113) 

"Consciousness… is really a deceit wich replaces indivisible being by happening!"

(MB, 1988, p. 199)

 

"...our consciousness is intimately linked to or dependent on the perceptual distinction between things". 

(MB, 1988, p. 233)

 

"Pure symmetry is totally incompatible with human consciousness". 

(MB, 1988, p. 234)

Somos capaces de vivir la realidad interna de nuestro inconsciente en sus aspectos indivisibles, pero solo podemos verla con el intelecto.

El modelo fisiológico de la consciencia está constituido por los sentidos (visión, oído, tacto, gusto y olfato). Esto la hace apta para captar fenómenos espacio-temporales.

La consciencia es analítica, sólo puede enfocar una cosa a la vez, separando a cada cosa de la otra.

In itself this propositional activity or establishment of (symmetrical) relations cannot enter consciousness because consciousness cannot contain as discrete elements the infinite possibilities of elements that may exist within the class and cannot contain them if they are not discrete elements, distinguishable from one another and which stand in relation to each other in some form of order.
