Anosognosia

Anosognosia  is a deficit of self-awareness, a condition in which a person with the disability is unaware of having it.

The term is from Ancient Greek ἀ- a-, "without", νόσος nosos, "disease" and γνῶσις gnōsis, "knowledge".  Thus: "without disease knowledge".  Anosognosia is not related to global mental confusion, cognitive flexibility, other major intellectual disturbances, or mere sensory/perceptual deficits. 

confabulation is a memory error defined as the production of fabricated, distorted, or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world. People who confabulate present incorrect memories ranging from "subtle alterations to bizarre fabrications", and are generally very confident about their recollections, despite contradictory evidence.

agnoia implies having no spiritual or vertical direction at all, i.e., being lost in the cosmos.It is defined as "lack of knowledge," "ignorance, especially of divine things," and "moral blindness," 

Sturgeon's revelation is an adage that states that "ninety percent of everything is crap."

A similar adage appears in Rudyard Kipling's The Light That Failed, published in 1890. "Four-fifths of everybody's work must be bad. But the remnant is worth the trouble for its own sake." 

Sturgeon's law: "nothing is always absolutely so". I might rewrite that as: No thing is always absolutely so."

Voegelin: "an analysis of the phenomenon of consciousness has no instrument other than the concrete consciousness of the analyst. The quality of this instrument, then, and consequently the quality of the results, will depend on what I have called the horizon of consciousness; and the quality of the horizon will depend on the analyst's willingness to reach out into all the dimensions of the reality in which his conscious existence is an event; it will depend on his desire to know."

In other words, either we are open to the transcendent object or we are actually enclosed within our own genetic, neurological, cultural, ideological, and/or philodoxical horizons. There are only two possibilities, but if you keep thinking through your limited horizon you'll realize there is only one. Break through that glass ceiling!

"The resultant consciousness is a ceaseless action of expanding, ordering, articulating, and correcting itself; it is an event in the reality of which, as a part, it partakes. It is a permanent effort at responsive openness to the appeal of reality, at bewaring of premature satisfaction, and above all at avoiding the self-destructive phantasy of believing the reality of which it is a part to be an object external to itself that can be mastered by bringing it into the form of a system."

The introspection illusion is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly think they have direct insight into the origins of their mental states, while treating others' introspections as unreliable. In certain situations, this illusion leads people to make confident but false explanations of their own behaviour (called "causal theories") or inaccurate predictions of their future mental states.
