I'm skeptical of the idea that in us exist two ( or more) discrete nonintegrated brain states . Separate states that exist contemporaneously and have the capacity to exert control over the "other" states either randomly or directed by yet another state that cedes control. But I do think we can view thoughts as coming from different aspects of our integrated and complicated makeup. We can isolate certain thoughts or thought patterns and label or identify them as "coming from" different metaphoric "state", ie rational or irrational, reasoned or emotional, conscious or subconscious. I am way more comfortable and get AV from a metaphoric pov.
