I don't really believe in levels of conciousness. I think it's just another attempt to categorize people. Mental states are rarely stable, and so someone could be in the state of fear one day, the state of anger the next etc. Perhaps it gives some people more direction to their PD, however I prefer not to attach myself to a particular category. I am an irrational human being, and my mental state changes invariably. Although not too invariably, I don't have a personality disorder.
