Overwhelming number of people almost all time of their lives, carried out in such monotonous activity, not demanding adoption of important decisions and abstract reflections on the basis of analytical-synthetic work of consciousness, i.e. understanding of own activity. This activity in work and life is reduced thereby to daily repetitions, forming habits, the exit beyond limits of which is very difficult and turns out not often.
Exactly this factor explains the fact that the days and years merge into one stream, and the person can't remember what happened to him in the summer ten years ago or winter of last year or even a month ago.
Similar life actually doesn't demand self-consciousness in the form of original projection, so as does not bear in itself "ocean" of plans, and is based on habit. It doesn't even require a high intelligence.
Therefore such life can be compared to a day dream, at which self-consciousness is disco
However the person wouldn't be as such, if he "was in a dream" all the time, i.e. he has being used practically only the lowest consciousness and the mode of habits, resembling to the animals.
Any person, even the most humiliated and undeveloped, is able to recall always, maybe, the few, but significant episodes in his life. And he recalls them, precisely because in these times he acted creative: had being taken important (projective) solutions, had been surprised to something unique, had been outraged by unfairness, had being committed the fatal errors, had meetings with unusual people and phenomena, had loved, had suffered.
In such affairs it is impossible to do without self-consciousness, inasmuch is necessary to correlate with self this visible, i.e. to commensurate this visible with own abilities, will, determination, impressionability, and to speak to himself: "And I so could be. And I understand this. And I am capable to be surprised by this (to be indignant)", and to set to himself the purposes on achievement of something pleasant or – the purposes on overcoming of the appeared obstacles, but not to evade from them: exactly this process is the true expression of liberty in the person, i.e. does this being by the person.
In other words, in these episodes the person loses indifference, moves away from habits, tries to change consciously or intuitively though something in itself even to the detriment to the values recognized by him. Of course, these events ca
For this reason, we are interested in reading the exciting novels, detective stories, where continuously something occurs, mysteries arise and are solved, swindlers and villains act, property are made and then it is lost, power is acquired and disappears like smoke, in general, rages fictional life, which so is distinguished from own "gray" existence.
For the same reason all history, described by scientists-historians (though they don't understand of this), seems to them as activity of the figures which are situated as if outside routine . These figures-leaders accept nearly hourly vital decisions for tribes and the people, win battles, lose at the defeats everything, invent gunpowder and discover America, write eternally live cantatas and arias, conduct reformation of religions etc.
Naturally, these scriptures are hard to recognize as the science, the more that is possible to look at the preserved materials differently.
Thus, the "productivity" of individual human life in relation to a radical change of his consciousness, as a rule, is extremely low. This circumstance is understood by individual religious faiths (Hinduism, Buddhism), which do not stopper the journey of soul on one human life.
Nevertheless, religious faiths do not suspect about the true destination of this travel and do not see the true basis of Creation.
Whatever it was, but the periods of "waking up" are the most striking manifestations of consciousness in the person, that means its true free expression, often amazing of himself, and therefore – memorable.
Indeed, this and is true expression of consciousness in life, which along with that "is postponed" in measureless "moneybox" of single consciousness.
2.6. Person as complex manifestation of the lowest and highest forms of consciousness.
It is reasonable also to ask a simple question: what in general does consciousness functionally in a body of the person as a combination of the lowest and highest entities (forms, programs)?
Most likely, consciousness in the form of the lowest essence, first, controls the functioning of own organism, providing its viability and reproduction as updating of own body, and also production of posterity one way or another, including cloning; secondly, it manages actions of a body as if from outer side, namely, according to circumstances which, as a rule, don't remain a long time invariable, on the basis of sensations – at the available set of sense organs – and on the basis of the available reasonableness (opportunities of the centers processing information in the living being).
All this is peculiar also to the person, inasmuch he is a highly developed primate on structure and functions.
This being becomes by the person, as already it has been shown above, recognizing of self in time, that separates it from the environment and forces it to look at self from outside at least occasionally.
And what is possible to see concerning the actions of the subject, which is aware of itself?
With one side, – the person is a being, almost perfect, capable to incredible fulfillments, changing all world around, improving conditions of own life, perfecting itself as the personality, as well as developing and applying increasingly benevolent public morality (Sermon on the Mount of Christ).
On the other hand, – the person is the obvious nonentity compared to the rest of flora and fauna. He fears of both life, and death, as well as – all around, and else – he is afraid of himself.
Along with that he conducts almost all the time of own short life in a dream and in a light slumber of monotonous existence with rare creative "awakenings".
Both the first, and the second is determined substantially by the additional property which somehow has appeared at the person namely – by self-consciousness, which places the person into the mixed – natural and artificial – world, created by him and his consciousness, where nobody will help him, despite all his awareness, except himself and some of his tribesmen.
Consciousness dips this being into the disastrous world with its obvious contradictions so, as throw into water of the person who isn't able to swim in hope that he will swim up.
And the most unbearable for him is the fact that he, unlike other beings in this world, understands all horror of the situation.
Besides, self-consciousness, separating the person from the environment, clearly interferes with his functioning as an ordinary living being, depriving the body of plasticity, organic, perfection in actions and relations. And these remarkable properties have all representatives of fauna, who, without reasoning about themselves, feels like a fish in water.
The person, however, tries to improve work of the body by various means, for example, medicines, gymnastics for more comfortable existence (without diseases) and prolong own existence in time many times, if not indefinitely, despite all the dissatisfaction by it. But all its efforts do not lead to return of natural ideality of functioning of a body during the stay of him as the ape, i.e. up to obtaining self-consciousness. Life time also does not manage to be prolonged significantly.
