04 POST The spoiler, the subconscious

The subconscious is the attic, the storage of the past, memories and habits we do but do not take note of anymore, habits of perceiving, feeling, thinking, or doing.  It is full of other things, things I never seen, but Ant and Bee did.  Emotions I do not remember, but Macho and Cuddles do.  Thoughts and solutions I am unaware of but  Geru is mulling around, and actions I did or could do but do not realize or remember.  The subconscious is memories but much more.  Why am I not conscious of them?  Consciousness is limited.  Me has much more potential than I am aware of.  Lets look at it.

Ant and Bee see a lot more than I do.  They see at maybe 144 frames a sec.  But I only experience say, 12. Oh dear me, macho remembers more then I do, thoughts too I can't see them all, or memories of things I have done.

It is like these big little cameras and projectors that take in a lot.  But I see, feel, think, or remember them all YET I have to make sense of it all or it is just meaningless.  Until I process those sights and sounds, those feelings, those thoughts, those actions, its all a blur.  And processing takes time, about 12 frames in one second.  If I can process at least 12 frames a second life becomes animated.  Any slower and its just meaningless flashes or frames. Like listening to a foreign language I do not know.  Any faster and time will have to slow down to include it all.  Oh, no, then there are those other widgets and their bad experiences.

Next post is Macho and Cuddles and the motley crew, Dragon and his cohorts Spidie, Raccoon, Crow, and Coyote.

07 POST A Different Type of Nightmare.

To some the nightmare is not sleep but that they can not sleep. Insomnia can be a living nightmare. Mom and dad warned be not to have kids, that incessant bawling or racket that never ends. In the middle of the night you say, "Its your turn to get up, why can't you hear the screeching, how can you sleep through it?"

And that my friend is one difference between men and woman. Check out blog three, the battle of the sexes. The biological and learned differences between men and woman or between any two humans.

 OK, I am awake now. Who is looking at all those widgets that each want their own way and making choices of which ones rule the day or the moment so day time does not become a nightmare of overwhelming sights and sounds, or awful emotions, or haunting thoughts, or mindless activity? I has to do it. But can I? How can I?

Next Post  is conscious manipulation of widgets, or at least the start of it.

11 POST How to Choose your Consciousness

Ok, Ok, how can the You or the I or the Mr/Ms Do make better choices?  The answer is simple but complex.  It is basically how you choose and arrange the conscious moments or frames.  How you arrange the external and internal stages for your drama affects other subconscious frames and moments.  There are so many subconscious frames that can pop up into conscious memory, with or without rhyme or reason, or so it seems.  But the reason and rhyme is how you, your Mr/Ms Do, organized the composite of conscious moments, frames, and memories of sights and sounds, fears, interests and loves, beliefs, thoughts and concepts, and actions and habits... habits of perception, emotions, planning and thoughts, and skills and addictions.  They tell the subconscious frames which pop up will be taken notice of, or taken seriously. Dreams are more free to be ridiculous,  awaken moments are better monitored by memory of what should be, decided by past, present and future widget formations.

Let's say you encounter a mad dog who indicates with teeth and growls than he wants to bite you if you move, you are trapped.  Mr. Do, (I), the Hero wants to save the day.  But he is not sure how.  Ant tells him to study the dogs fur, or dental structures.  Bee says to watch the whole body and its movements. Macho yells run for your life.  Geru at this point yells NO the dog will chase you and bite you in the butt as a dog in the past did. The old memory pops up and you shudder in fear.  Cuddles wants to show love and Geru yells, NO you will get bit in the process.  Rabbit wants to kick it and Geru again interferes with the idea. Turtle's advice is to NOT MOVE and Geru concurs.  Spiedie denies there is any danger, Raccoon wants to take the dog home for himself, Crow yells kill it, and Coyote and Dragon proceed to prepare to follow Crow's idea.  Fire comes out of Dragon's mouth as Coyote draws his sword.  With the littlest involuntary movement of your body the dog bites you, (myself), in the pant leg as Cuddles yell's not to hurt the dog.  What are you to do.

Now imagine that each widget is a pet of a child and they and their child owners are all situated around the Mad Dog.  They all have ideas what to do.  The pets reflct the character of their owners and are protecting their owners who would be the many different Mr/Ms do's decisions in your head.  What a complicated situation.  The many possible actions and outcomes is endless.  I will use these characters later.

Back to just you and the widgets.The situation dictates what will work.  Well, myself (you) had moved involuntarily and got bit.  Geru took note and told I, (Mr. Do), moving will not work.  So trial and error and the widgets tell I what to do or not to do.  It is still I's choice.  If the owner is near just wait and yell for help, if isolated from others and you have food feed it and leave carefully, if others and medical help is near I may go ahead and try and love it.  If nothing else works I may just cry.  Now no widget suggested that, Myself does that under duress.  Or I may wait and when the advantage pops up go ahead and kick the stuffing out of it. Sorry, I do love animals.
