“There is a mode of intentional cognition that is to ordinary thought as the sun is to a matchstick. It organizes multiple domains of meaning, relation, application, and visual metaphors simultaneously. This is the natural mode of the human intelligence assets. But they have been hijacked, and thus, function primarily in matchstick mode. Appropriately, and perhaps mercifully, in that mode there is no awareness of these matters. The only leak is dreaming.”
