"Since it's all about levels of consciousness, wouldn't it be nice if you could share all the levels there are?"
This conversation took the wildest turns, greatly straying from what I expected it to entail. And yet, to claim that it wasn't productive would be an outright lie.
Still, what kind of levels of consciousness did Irene talk about? After all, how I was to climb to the higher levels if I didn't even know what they were?
"The first level of consciousness is all about your own desires. That's what directs you. The second level is all about figuring out that everyone else also has their own desires. The third level is about thinking about what others are thinking. Rather than just being aware that others have thoughts, you try to figure out what kinds of thoughts they have."
Irene reached out for her cup and took a long, lazy sip before stuffing her mouth with the last piece of her cake.
