Mind, on one side a concept engine finding actionable summaries of raw experience by evolutionary learning, requiring a system of goals but no consciousness, on the other side, feeling, goals, values or valences, what could be summarised as will, and requiring consciousness which is somehow integral to value assignment. Witnessing is not the same as this, is pure consciousness independent of the vicissitudes of mind. The two different appearances on consciousness in this are quite different, one being dark and embodied and wild, the other bright, detached, inhuman - and yet they necessarily are the same consciousness which does not suffer division. Consciousness whose nature is detachment is also somehow deeply interfused with life, the very opposite of detachment.
