Consciousness is not a fact, e.g., the fact that "there is something that it is like to be." Consciousness is how it feels to think.* There can be no thought without feeling, no belief without desire, no understanding without obedience.

*Note that pregnant phrase: "how it feels." How what feels? It. The body. I think but it feels. Consciousness is how it does its thinking: by feeling. The body feels to think
and, thus, I am.
