Abstract
In this book, I have tried to present an empirical-phenomenological approach for mapping the structures and patterns of consciousness. By consciousness I mean one’s awareness of one’s subjective experience, including both the processes of being aware and the various contents of that awareness. This includes both the noeses and the noema of phenomenological consciousness (Kockelsman, 1967) and also one’s “state of consciousness” (Tart, 1975), as one’s stream of subjective experience is apprehended over a period of time.
