    It's true that we cannot assume this.  We can, however, perform an
experiment:  is it possible to be aware (conscious) of something (our
surroundings, ourselves, both...) while having no discernable thoughts?
These two points are central:  that we have not exhausted the possibilities
of empirical study in this realm;  and that the distinction between con-
sciousness and other psychic processes bears investigation.
