[[jung, carl]] quoted in [[demystifying jung highlights and brainstorm]], pg. 69 >Consciousness is primarily an organ of orientation in a world of outer and inner facts. > >First and foremost, it establishes the fact that something is there. I call this faculty **sensation**. By this I do not mean the specific activity of any one of the senses, but *perception in general*. > >Another faculty interprets what is perceived; this I call **thinking**. By means of this function, the object perceived is assimilated and its transformation into a psychic content proceeds much further than in mere sensation. > >A third faculty establishes the value of the object. This function of evaluation I call **feeling**. The pain-pleasure reaction of feeling marks the highest degree of subjectivation of the object. Feeling brings subject and object into such a close relationship that the subject must choose between acceptance and rejection. [[every object is in endless connection with a multiplicity of other objects]]
