"Every bit of experience and behaviour has a very rapid, pre-conscious history. For example, every perception is preceded by a host of subliminal prehensions of sensory information that are unconsciously assessed and holistically combined. Subliminal prehension is itself preceded by unconscious consultation of extrasensory prehensions that are also assessed and holistically merged. Subliminal prehensions guide and orient the development of conscious experience. Similarly, extrasensory prehensions orient the appraisal and use of subliminal sensory prehensions. All of these prehensions are assessed within the context of the particular and general objectives of the person whose mind is doing this constructing. Extrasensory prehensions initiate the constructive engagement with reality. They come first, hence they are our first sight."
