Past, Present, Future

I have been thinking. In a universe of conscious beings: The Past and Future are symbolic. The Present is symbol-manipulating, or symbol processing. Hence, it is non-symbolic in the sense that it is not a mere symbolic structure. However, it is deeply involved with symbols, processing them constantly. We are aware of the Present. What of symbolic activity of which we are unaware? It seems to pop in from nowhere: the activity of the subconscious. Is it symbol processing in the Past...or even in the Future? And we are a unaware not because it is somehow separate from us, rather the "Code of Awareness" we use to "Be Aware" of the Present does not exist for actions in the Past or Future. Sorry. Sometimes I feel the need to use this blog as a notebook. Carry on with what you were doing.
