Hi Cynthia-- Now I must go back to Chapter 1 having spent time with Chapter
7!! But it is a pleasure and I will do it. Until then, I postpone an answer
and may be incapable of providing a good answer since I am so uncertain of
the meaning of the word "consciousness" for LSV and for LSV at different
points in his life.
Perhaps David K who has been reading his 1926 essay on this topic will
help. For me, the link to what David was writing about in the note to which
I responded earlier is the "withness" of consciouness. For the moment I have
been thinking a lot about p. 285 last paragraph from the bottom (English
edition on xmca web page): "In consciousness the word .... is absolutely
impossible for one person but possible for two."
The last paragraph is worth as much meditation as we have time to give it.
Concerning question 2, I think that until you get to chapter 7 and return to
chapter 1 this question is too difficult to deal with. And perhaps even
AFTER you have cycled through several times!!
