This specialization [evolution of the consciousness] must be corrected by recovering once again a generalized apprehension which does not reject any experience - be it color or the sense of the self - whereby the organism lives. For the organism which begins to dismiss actual experiences because these disturb the simplicity of its explanations is headed for that ever-narrowing awareness which ends in presenting itself with a world in which it cannot live - a world not only without sanction but without meaning.
