As brain researcher Mark Kiefer comments: Consciousness is not the “simple result of processing in a single ‘consciousness’ module.”7 There are multiple “modules” or ego states that together make up the “us” that we know as our unique selves. Together these “consciousness modules” form something greater than the sum of the parts, though there is not a one of us who has not and does not tend to take on, from time to time, one of those modules or ego states to the exclusion of the others.
