Will, Consciousness, Modification

Spinoza attributes Consciousness to Will on the basis of the premise that the attribution to Mind of a capacity to double itself, i. e. Reflection, is self-explanatory.  A more elaborate explanation of the first attribution begins with a concept of Causality as a Modification, i. e. in which the act of Causality spans a transition from a previous condition to a subsequent condition.  Now, there can be a Consciousness of that Causality by virtue of Mind monitoring the entire process.  But that Causality is Will.  Hence, according to the more elaborate explanation, the Consciousness attributed to an act of Will is Mind taking as its object the process that the act spans, i. e. is not an act of Reflection qua a simple doubling of itself.  On that basis, the latter, a common Philosophical concept, is inadequate.
