Voici 2 exemples de prise de conscience.
Une prise de conscience, c’est comme un
changement d’orbite : ça requiert du temps, une impulsion initiale, de l’énergie entretenue, et l’état d’arrivée est sensiblement différent de l’initial.
Dave Droar résume très bien l’origine de cet état pensé de conscience, par opposition à un état passif :
This is an inevitable consequence of consciousness. A being with a mind, conscious of itself and its existence, experiencing a reality, needs to organise the data that it receives from its senses. Simply observing and recording does not allow for consciousness. It is what we do with that information that allows us to think. In order to process and store the vast amount of information received, the human brain attempts to identify patterns in the data; looking for the patterns behind what is experienced. This is asking questions of the sensory information, and requires reasoning. By definition a conscious mind seeks to know. Knowing something requires more than just data, but intelligence or reasoning applied to that data. To attempt to obtain knowledge we must therefore question the data our mind receives; thus, consciousness questions.
