Beings being conscious of consciousness Wake Up and Think Clearly

Welcome friends, enemies, neutrals, and kind mothers. This episode is an extract from the almost 6 hour conversation that ran from around 7 AM to almost 1 PM on a saturday morning, May 22, 2021. This was a meditation conversation on the knowing about our knowing. What we do naturally all the time, except when we take a break from it. It's been called consciousness, awareness, mind, states of mind, mind(s), chitta, primary minds, mental factors, mental arisings, thinking, feeling, talking inside, visualizing, dreaming, affecting. 

Here we have an example of  Beings being conscious of consciousness? How would you define consciousness? 

If we consider a definition of consciousness as that phenomena in which a sentient being experiences knowing, then what is involved in this knowing?  Is there some kind of input and processing, and some way of producing enough output to allow for communication with other beings with consciousness?

This day, Saturday May 22, we had Luis Del Pino appear, and I invited Justin Shenryu Williams because I saw that he had messaged me on Facebook Messenger. And he joined up.  

Also showing up and contributing are Mike Taylor in Winter Park, and Domenic in Toronto.
