Over the years there has been a lot of theories over our consciousness. |

I think there is something that can be called 'subconcious', the fact that the name exist and even things that can only be explained by it, like the subconcious reaction to feromones and the subconsious seeing of subliminal messages. |

“What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'” -Hume
I'd say the subconscious is the part of the mind that comes up with thoughts before they are translated into language in our minds. |

Quick post, I want to say more later. I want to say that we have multiple subconscious processes. |

i think in order for this discussion to actually have any sort of meaning, it's important to agree upon the definition of 'subconscious'. |

unconsciousness, subconsciousness, consciousness, and "superconsciousness" are all a continium (operating simultaneously IMO). |

First... some basic philosophy which might help us in our thinking... and elucidate somewhat how we think and the errors that can occur if we fall into some very common misunderstandings. |
|
Think of the subconscious as a stream of thought, our conscious selves only scoop out a few buckets of it and put it into language in our heads. The rest of it is there, but it is sublingual, and we can't be aware of it or express it to others until it is put into words. |

I tend to think that the terming of "sub" conscious is actually a little misleading. I think that these background analyses and such are above our normal conscious stream of thought, and the simple fact that we do have to focus or put our attention on these "sub" processes points to the idea that we are "raising" our awareness to the point where that "sub" consious is now conscious. I also say that subconsious and unconscious are two separate ideas. Subconscious still denotes a process of thought. Unconscious denotes no thought process at all. There are some things that we do "uncounsciously", such as reactions to people swinging their fists at us (if we have any martial arts background). Those things have been practiced so much that any hint of that movement which should trigger the reaction does trigger it. There are also subconscious reactions, like thos of catching books and papers as they fall to the ground and such. We haven't been practicing those things, but some of us are still able to do them quite well, and sometimes, we don't even realize what we're doing until it's already happening. |

LDs: 4 (0 WILDs/ 4 DILDs)
Here is a very interesting article that Zen Vortex pointed out to me. It may not address the subconscious perspective head on, but in a round about way I think it has information affiliated with what we are discussing. |

I can't vote for anything either .. |

Howetzer, Could you please tell us how we should vote in this poll, It is very confusing. |
