Thread: The sub conscious

What is the subconscious? One often sees statements about a person talking about their own subconscious, as if it were something other than what they are. However, as Plato correctly intimated about the ancient inscription, Know thyself might be taken two different ways, and one of them violates the very foundation of logic, relation to self is altogether inadmissible. A = A.

We can learn about our emotions, we can learn about reasoning, however, as we are not different from ourself, we cannot directly know ourself. We are not, nor ever can be, aware of ourself. Therefore, it is us that are subconscious.

Emotion we are conscious of. Reason we are concious of, but ourselfs, impossible.

The same is true when people tell me that someday their spirit is going to Heaven. I then ask, if your spirit is going to heaven, just where in the hell are you going?

Relation to self as being inadmissible is the most fundamental concept one can use, mathematically it would be,
A - A = 0. This is a simple transform of A = A.

Russell and Whitehead created a work on logic, which contained the so-called Theory of Types, which was no more than the multiplication of words because the authors could not refrain from violating A = A. Some day, it will be not a study in logic, but of pathology.

As far as psychology goes, Plato gave the correct configuration in a myth, while Freud could not even speak correctly.
