   I got a different meaning from it.
   
   It kind of reminds me Saul Steinberg's cover for the New Yorker that is supposed to represent consciousness
   
   
   
   In Steinberg's image, the point is to illustrate the meandering nature of our consciousness.
   
   However in the picture in your OP, I think the meaning is that the true nature of our consciousness reasoning is far less ordered and sequential than we are naively lead to believe by our experience, more akin to a battle for our attention, for what wakes us up to itself.

   I couldn't read much od the OP because phone, drugs and ADHD but in "The sense of an ending" By Julian Barnes the character of veronica Ford whispers "Now sleep the sleep of the wicked" while hes sexually frustrated at her parents house and I like this line but COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND ITS GREATER MEANING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE STORY. Now I'm gonna google it. Thanks Larry I will read your thread when I'm more focused
