Is there such a thing as consciousness at all? Maybe we're just more or less conscious of different interactions and these tests are really only showing what we find the most difficult?

Bruce Lee said, "You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend."

Perhaps you mind is best left empty and in this emptiness lies life's greatest achievement?

I think it is more important to use the consciously rational mind to filter the water before it fills the vessel. That way you know what you will be getting when you drink from it later.

Perhaps you don't need to be doing that if your subconcious mind is capable of doing the same?

Is your concious 'rational' mind at war with your 'irrational' subconcious - each reaching a different conclusion to the other? Or do they agree?
