The background consciousness is not merely some forma condition of possibility, it only seems that way when approached via a certain philosophical corridor. It is also dramatic and archetypal, the mother consciousness, the father consciousness, the sister, the brother, the king and queen and all the rest of the arcana. As such as persons, they are not there for the sake of metaphysics but as a demand for full acknowledgment, to hold the gaze of that which is far greater than you. This is what you flee from.
