This illustrates the _____ of consciousness.

Answer 1

Answer:transience

Explanation: transcience of consciousness is having the ability or tendencies to changing your mind at times. The consciousness of man is usually unified(shows unity) but some factors can distort this unity.

Most times pain, sadness, noise, happiness and other factors can distort the unity of our consciousness ( mind). When your conscience is not stable that is changing every moment or bouncing off, it measures our consciousness is in a transcience state. A transcience consciousness does not last, it is usually short. A transcience consciousness makes one lack concentration on what he or she is doing at that particular moment because the thoughts of that person is waving or swinging consistently. He or she may be at school but his mind may be at home or even think about other things like what she will eat later on, what she will wear to the party,what is her boyfriend currently doing this making her lack or loose concentration on what she is doing at that moment.
