Consciousness is defined as
energy received by structure.
Intelligence is defined as energy transmitted by structure.
Structure is defined as energy in transitional state.
Timothy Leary, Exo-Psychology.
Once a structure begins to recognize its own structure,
then it can become conscious in a way that was not possible
before it was aware it was a structure.
As we discover inside ourselves how we are built, so we can build
outside ourselves simulations of ourselves.
John C. Lilly, Simulations of God.
For double the vision my eyes do see,
and a double vision is always with me,
with my inward Eye 'tis an old man grey;
with my outward a thistle across my way.
William Blake.
