The first position may be the result of a conscious choice, switching on (in the internal dialogue: “Start thinking! Remember what you wanted!”), Or it may be the result of a habit, turning on impulsively and working automatically, according to one or another template, once appropriate, sometime not.
“I think always and always remember my plans, because I do this all the time, because this is my habit.” Or: «I don’t care about your interests, because I’m tired.»
The human consciousness is multilayered: the first position can itself be triggered by both the first and the zero position of perception.
First position and zero position
The difference between the first and zero positions is not that in the first position there is no automatism, there is no moment of pattern and habit — all this is or can be in the first position.
