Is your consciousness more than just being aware? All human beings have consciousness, although there are times when we forfeit access to our consciousness. It is the ability to comprehend the form of the self. Does consciousness fit into one of the 3 faculties of our soul? The idea that made-up stories can have meaning is uniquely human. We take the question of consciousness in a lot of directions and cover a lot of ground in this episode.

Principles of Nature is a work by a theologian/philosopher from the 13th century named Thomas Aquinas. It is primarily a glossary of terms. He is going to define of a bunch of philosophical-jargon terms so that when you read anything else that he ever wrote you know what words he's using, and you know what his philosophical premises are about these words. In this episode we cover the first nine paragraphs of the 40-some-odd paragraph work. We also focus on defining five specific terms from these paragraphs.
