"consciousness as a ‘transcendental field’ that “can be distinguished from experience in that it doesn’t refer to an object or belong to a subject”. In itself this transcendental field is nothing more than a “pure plane of immanence” that is constituted as a transcendental field by the production of the transcendent entity that is ‘consciousness’. The pure plane of immanence – the great ocean of becoming – cares nothing for consciousness and only becomes a ‘transcendental field’ when it produces consciousness as an effect. Beneath all the currents of thought is the ocean from which they arise and into which they fall back, an ocean of becoming that has no concern with anything other than its own becoming. Consciousness in effect becomes a sort of self-defeating capacity when it is used to fulfil life; it is a detour, which we must consciously step back from. We, of course, have in principle no ability to know beforehand quite where or how this might be carried out – hence the need to employ an experimental approach."
