In every moment there is a complementary dialectic between conscious and unconscious; the latter not only in-forms the former, but will lend it more or less "weight" or presence.</i><br /><br />I seem to recall, in some one or other of the articles that have come out in the past couple of years about how we don't really have free will, one of the arguments being that brain activity registers before a conscious decision is made. As if the unconscious is some kind of genetic puppet master pulling the strings of our conscious mind with some sort of devious plot of its own, which we are powerless to thwart. More generally, though, I think people often portray the unconscious in terms of an unknowable adversary, instead of simply part of the continuum of the self. <br /><br />It's helpful to see it described the way you do.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-16399183276680451472015-05-13T12:28:18.753-07:002015-05-13T12:28:18.753-07:00That nasty smell in hell is probably from the smok...<i> That nasty smell in hell is probably from the smoke from all those lights being extinguished in the muck, like a cigarette in stale beer.</i><br /><br />I figured it was decaf -- smells about the same, but you're probably right.<br /><br />Paul does warn not to quench the Spirit. <br /><br /><i> ...the special lines of his own direction -- which again, are not simply random points in reality but are the expressions of his individual personality, the shape of his soul</i><br /><br />I fit somewhere.
