I am a therapist and sometimes I have to work on helping people develop the basics of being conscious awareness. To be conscious means it is always like something to be you: Take a table- it is not like anything to be a table. So when I ask my clients “what was it like right now to. Remember that/say that/share that with your spouse, etc., and they tell me it was fine. I felt nothing. I tell them you are not a table. We want to get as far away from being a table on the consciousness spectrum as possible! Some people have never had anyone help them to not be tables! Tables also are not aware of their internal monologue. They just need a little help..people that is, not literal tables…of course. 🤓
