Notes on consciousness

My ability in language is inept to talk about this, partially because there is a general lack of common words to communicate with.

I often talk ofb a stream of consciousness by which I mean the pure inner dialogue. Many of us if we ever took the time to feel it have a conversation in our heads. Be these thoughts or voices there is a conversation between two or more, be it the speaker and the listener or the speaker and the other speaker and the listener. Or more perhaps.

This one bit is little understood or talked about. No part of my formal education helped me truly consider this, this basic part of my being as essential to me as my organic self: my consciousness.

Perhaps this hole in common knowledge will be fixed one day. Knowledge and understanding of the internal experience of reality in an empirical or truly scientific way is the undiscovered country. Strict and accurate communication about our internal experience of reality is not known to me.

I've laboured on one bit: the internal conversation. Something common yet so rarely acknowledged. There is so much more.
