Conscious thoughts are the thoughts we are aware of. These thoughts are responsible for our awareness of what is about us and the choices we make with our minds and act upon. Our conscious minds represent what we think of when we ask ourselves, "Who am I?"
Descartes, a French philosopher in the 15th century pre-catastrophe, wrote, "I think, therefore I am." What do we think with but our consciousness?
Typically, we identify ourselves by our conscious mind and the thoughts that arise within it. But is that all that we are?
