We can only know in the nervous system what we have known in behavior first.

We have said that consciousness is an operation rather than a thing, a repository, or a function. It operates by way of analogy, by way of constructing an analog space with an analog 'I' that can observe that space, and move metaphorically in it. It operates on any reactivity, excerpts relevant aspects, narratizes and conciliates them together in a metaphorical space where such meanings can be manipulated like things in space.

Poetry, from describing external events objectively, is becoming subjectified into a poetry of personal conscious expression.

Abstract words are ancient coins whose concrete images in the give and take of talk have worn away with use.

The very reason we need logic at all is because most reasoning is not conscious at all.

Our sense of justice depends on our sense of time. Justice is a phenomenon only of consciousness, because time spread out in a spatial succession is its very essence. And this is possible only in a spatial metaphor of time.

It is by metaphor that language grows.
