If mind and consciousness are distinguished, you could say that mind is ontic and consciousness ontological, in that what defines the latter is that in regard to it being is always at stake. Hence, not merely the temporality of protentions and retentions, or of prehensions etc., but the peculiar topology of historic and originary time are proper to consciousness, as well as the force of creative will. Qualia are quintessentially ontic, witness marks only the beginning of a turn towards to ontological. It also implies that there are undisclosed potentialities of consciousness, yet to be elicited by possible refinements of what serves as mind.
