Having defined and emphasized on the mind's eye, I put an angle of view, which is a metaphor of the ego feeling in the first person and can provide the research of forming and representing mental content some kind of prescriptive objectivity, at the issue of epistemology. In this premise, the discussion topics are the mechanism of forming the consciousness, the relationship between the thought and language, the loading model of semantics of conceptual content and the representing of non- conceptual content. Expatiating on the forming mechanism of ego feeling with the help of emotion and feeling, I combine the issue of restrictive and the order of representation with it, to prove the effectiveness of the angel of view. And at the same time, I try to make the question of the relationship of the thought and language clear that the language is the stuff of thought. Also I try to give a refined model of the semantic loading of conceptual content, explain the effect that a distance caused by mismatching of semantics can result in adding, subtracting, and mismatching the content. The most important thing is that the evolution of non-conceptual content theory has been clarified before I demonstrate the inevitability of non-conceptual content with the method of both detailed examples and theoretical analysis. So that I can propose the possible model which represents the non-conceptual content creatively is a model shell typed that seems like a tree. The demonstration in the whole paper is under the research achievement in neurobiology, cognitive psychology and other relevant subjects, which means I can stand on the shoulder of giants to hackle their study in detail and make my own interpretation, then give a cognitive chain of the issue that how to form and represent mental content.
