Unconsciousness

 

Hello guys! Welcome to today's episode

         Last week I'm sure you were able to understand "the Conscious state" of the human mind is! A quick refresh, that you are reading this article is a conscious effort. I can say reading is one peak of Consciousness because it takes effort and requires some level of attention to reading something. The opposite of the Conscious is unconscious. And as consciousness is the awareness of yourself and your environment the opposite could be the lack of awareness about yourself and your environment.

         Unconsciousness is a complex mental activity that proceeds without Human awareness. The things that happen to you when you sleep or things that happen in your environment whilst sleeping to you as a person is an unconscious activities. But! That things happen during your unconscious state does not mean they can not be remembered. You can still remember the dreams you had last night, and you can recall a few background noises you heard whilst asleep this could be an interesting part because to some persons when they sleep they feel some things happening in their environment were happening in their dream-like for example; your mum was scolding your sibling probably directly behind your room but your sleeping self imagined the scenario in your dream. This is because things that play out during your unconscious moments come in like echoes in your mind, and an echo could be a sound that comes faintly, and that reminds me of the thin line that exists between the Conscious and the Unconscious  See you next week........

The Conscious Mind

 Hello guys! Welcome to today's episode 

                You know as a person that you either are a male or female, you know that you are a product of 2 individual adults you know as your parents, you know that you were given birth to on a specific day, you know that you are in school, you know the subjects being taken in class, you know different topics in a different subject, you know the name of your instructors and what they look like physically, you know you siblings by name each and you don't have a problem mixing them up, you have grown to make friends and have come to know each by name.................... Things like this and many more are what make up your Conscious mind.

                  Your consciousness is your awareness of yourself, memories, feelings, sensations, and environment. The awareness of yourself and your environment is your consciousness. Consciousness is an individualistic and not a collective concept; meaning your consciousness is subjected to you. Your consciousness could start from perception and move to Consciousness but not all perceptions get to the level of becoming part of our conscious thoughts. For things to become part of our consciousness it has to be given attention. So that learning, seeing, perceiving, or being exposed to things doesn't mean those things automatically get to your conscious, not everything you see nor learn of gets to your conscious, for things to get to your conscious you have to pay attention.

After this the unconscious

See you next time!

A Short Practice II

 

Hello guys! Welcome back

       I've had this habit of archiving details since I was young. I remember engaging a friend in a conversation quite a long time ago he was lamenting that he was on the verge of losing his contact and I just consoled him and moved on. I changed my phone 4months ago and I loosed my recent contacts because I didn't back them up. My WhatsApp chats inclusive.

   It didn't affect me a bit because I have structures I know to regain those back. I've heard friends lament about losing contacts, chats, and likes, and here is what I think;

 Your mind can house many kinds of stuff at the same time but the real problem comes when you'd have to remember. There are times we overestimate the tendencies of ourselves like procrastination on what to do or thinking less of something we ought to be intentional about because we feel for our mind to know than it can remember. Some people feel burdened in their minds and also get overwhelmed with situations because they have not come to understand that the mind is on 3 levels; 

      

        The Conscious

        The Subconscious

        The unconscious

 From next week I will talk about this concept one after the other!

A short Practice

 

Welcome back, guys! 

         So a few days ago I was amid a few house chores and I was packing some ceramic plates inside. The plates were much so I had to divide them into three batches, I had packed the first 2 batches in, and when I was about to pick the last batch up it just dropped in me "what if the plates fall off from my hand" it was a raining day so there was an alternate thought "what if I slip off and get injured by this plates". Immediately following knew that was my adversary picking on me and I just waved the thought off immediately picked up the plates and moved on.

  As I entered inside I could not even explain how the plates dropped from my hands and broke. I just stood there staring at the ground as I ran into an unconscious state. Everyone around was busy asking if I was okay but I cared less because I knew it was all my fault. I had allowed my thinking abilities to deceive me into causing damage! Of course, I wasn't injured but I wasn't just happy with myself. I had been studying mindsets and I knew right there and then that was just a practice for me. Of course, I have experienced such before but it didn't strike so much as this.

Your mind is molded after the patterns you give it to and it gives way to physical doings. Such that before a behavior is being exhibited it first being played out in your mind. You must have heard motivational speakers say that if you want to be rich first be rich in your mind. A lot of people have had wrong patterns built in their minds and the realization comes in very late because those patterns were built as a result of what they have been exposed to.....

Habitation!

 

Welcome back 

    So last week I was able to bring to your consciousness how we are who we are based on the things we saw, the things we are seeing, the things we are told, and the things we are being told from time to time. Biology had made us understand a few things, two of which I will like us to examine here:

1. We are human beings with a brain: This belief explains the fact that we are humans different from every other creature because we have a brain, and we are being tagged as the most complex of God's creatures. Scripture established that we are created in God's image not just in his image but also in his likeness; meaning God made us like himself and this is why how growth processes are very detailed and every bit of event that happens matters. Our minds are not just made up of the conscious alone because some people believe that as long as they don't give their attention to something it won't get to their mind. Hmmm, you don't just have a conscious mind, you also have the subconscious (I will discuss more on this in my next post). We are detailed creatures, we exist by pattern and it takes a lot to get some things into our awareness.

2. Habitat: Take a fish out from the water it can die within 3-4min, put a cat in an ocean it will die within the same time frame as well. The water is not a dangerous substance at all in fact, water has many other advantage to the one it can kill just that these two animals can only survive in 2 different environments. We know a human being can survive just on the land but also the mind also has specific habitats it can grow and function adequately. Some levels of exposure can make a mind whilst some can mar a mind. Some level of exposure at a particular stage of development can destroy an individual whilst in another stage, it's s great weapon of making. 

Anticipate my next post where I'll be discussing the conscious and the subconscious

See ya!
