Jason I enjoyed what seemed like your personal attention to what ever we were struggling with. I found it fascinating what other people had to say on the topic, such diversity. I came away with the belief that their is no right way  to understand consciousness, mind and self. In the end we are all entitled to our own thinking regarding self. But that it is helpful if we can stand on the shoulders, or in some case on the bodies (with citations of course) of those who have gone before us. Thanks to you and my fellow classmates  for making it an interesting learning experience and broadening my understanding of the within of me and the without around me.
