Yes Wim has proposed that
intellect level is concious and social level is unconscious. This is very
intuitive to me but there is one thing that is still not clicking.
Something can be conscious one moment and then can be unconscious at another
moment but it doesn't change from intellectual to social levels.
Also you said feeling and reason require mental activity.
Well I am conscious of my feelings too and I think it affects
reasoning (example so mad I can't think straight).
I think consciousness like mental activity is both reason and
emotion.
So may it would help "the other camp" to expand on why consciousness is
different.
