As soon as they separate, there is only one level. The
other is nihilized. It becomes primary.
But in fact this separation is unknown, because at this level there is no superconsciousness, except primitive totemism, or objectivisation.
When they do overlap, then too, they become indistinct, because they can only be experienced unitarily.
The idea is that early primary objectivization requires the knowledge of a con-scious invention, hence the
requisite idea of ‘consciessness’ per se, is a sine quo
non of human development.
Needless to say, this development is not attributed to a
will to or not to go on with it, is but an existential requirement to escape the oft hazardously challenging circumstances of early man.
The same with superconsciousness, it is not convenience alone which pushes the need to go on,
but a realization formed long ago, that if consciousness merely threads at a certain level, it will actually start falling backwards.
There is no reified status quo, implicit in consciousness,it is this superconscious effort, to factor in more and more possibilities into consciousness which creates the super consciousness. Therefore,
in a sense, the separation is more a product of denying the gravity of staying still, by viewing
consciousness as an objective as an object,imputed
within it’s own object, or vice versa.Consciousness, need not at all be a product of being conscious, or even of having existence as it’s predicate. While not
implying of any kind of separation or overlap, they function to the real requirements of life.
I would prefer to see it more in terms of saturation,
or lack of, rather then in terms of degrees of overlap or lack of.
