    Can you explain to me this consciousness/agency part? I'm afraid my english
    ain't good enough to translate /agency.

    I agree on this one. Adding, though not in a piling way.

    GJ thinks that..:
    If you come in contact with a new pattern you have three options. Three
    reactions that are hard to influence. Especially if you have never had any
    insights about them.(pre-moq) If you come in contact with a new pattern the
    following can 'happen' to you:
    1) you drop a level (for example: from intellectual to social, compensating
    intellectual skills -patterns- with social ones)
    2) Imitate succesfull patterns (aquiring skills by copying from others)
    3) go Dynamic (get 'into' the new pattern and create new succesfull ways)

    The 'struggle' you refer to might be option two and three mentioned above.
    For example: Language - a pattern - is hard to learn. But allready with
    little bits of aquired info from a language one can make jokes with language
    (DQ). Learning a skill can be very hard if you are not able to laugh about
    it. Lift it to DQ. Maybe your ironist comes close to such a person who
    continually switches to sq and DQ every step he/she makes to learn a new
    skill.
