This is an old post that I have posted again. When I originally posted it I don't think I fully understood just what Lewis was getting at, but now I think I do. Consciousness is complex, multilayered and the exact substance and structure may well be something other than what we think it is, or what and who we exactly are. Opposites are part of the deciphering.
"If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning." - C.S.Lewis
