Abstract

This paper explores consciousness through a phenomenological lens, using clothing as a central metaphor. It distinguishes between functional and psychological dimensions of clothing, arguing that identity and social meanings arise from thought rather than direct experience. The study examines how the mind, as a reflective process, creates fragmentation, while the body represents immediate, undivided awareness. It concludes that truth is encountered beyond thought, in a state of direct and holistic awareness.
