In the "Consciousness in the Study of Human Life and Experience" articles, longer passages in interviews where the participant sincerely tries to make a sympathetic investigator understand her are considered as showing part of the participant’s current consciousness in her life (part of her "consciousness-and-‘I’"). The present article argues that a critical element in such passages is that the participant is involved in trying to make herself understood "with her (whole) ‘I,’" "her whole self." This represents a particular kind of (spontaneous, nonverbal, "inner") engagement of the single consciousness-and-"I." The article argues using an example that "being involved with one’s self, one’s ‘I’" in the higher aspects that one is pursuing in one’s life is a fundamental type of phenomenon/experienced reality which is sui generis, and represents in the unfolding of the person a factor in its own right.
