To begin proving my idea incorrect could someone please inform the class whether Human Conciousness both in its physical and holistic manifestations can "think" in any terms other than "Cause" and "Effect".

Thinking abstractly is thinking in terms other than cause and effect. 1+1=2 is thinking in terms other than cause and effect. Neither 1 is doing anything to one another, and neither is responsible for causing a 2. Likewise, the two exists as a distinctly separate idea to the two 1s. They all simply exist, in an abstract, non causal space.
Another example might by attempting to observe the mind, and contemplating the 'identity' of the mind. Or imagining/remembering the taste of cheese on the tongue.
