Thinking also rests firmly in the reality of cellularly-attuned consciousness. Thought takes time, and exists by virtue of cellular composition. Consciousness not focused in cellular construc

Consciousness is the state that induces action, though it does not inspire it. You are free to believe what you choose, and what you do attests to what you believe.
