“The first conscious shock (the effort to self-remember) refers to all efforts, however partial they may be, that aim to establish a presence or a witness within any or all of the three aspects of our being.
With each effort to self-remember, there may be an extremely brief interval in which there is a presence, without reference to what that presence is present to. Immediately following this, one becomes aware of the process of thinking or feeling or sensation-motion that is taking place in the present moment. One then has the opportunity to direct the attention.”
Keith A. Buzzell, Man, A Three-brained Being, (Fifth Press, 2007), P. 109.
