A Thought That Thinks Itself


In an early post on this blog, I pointed out that human consciousness has two aspects: temporal and atemporal. The temporal aspect never changes; ”I” am the same person from birth to death. The temporal aspect reflects all of the changes that take place in my life. The temporal aspect is generated in my brain, while the atemporal aspect is independent of the brain—a thought thinking itself. In this post, I take a closer look at human consciousness, particularly the atemporal aspect.
