Record/Play

It’s one thing to experience a personal understanding of the workings of sub-conscious self. It’s another thing entirely to attempt to articulate the same. I guess that’s the fun of this; trying to figure out how to say things that are hard to understand.

The beauty of this subject; all of us are having the subject experience all the time. As with all illusion, it works in a given way for a given reason. Know the reason and the illusion becomes a tool.

Sub-conscious self processes information at some 50,000,000 bits/sec., all beyond our conscious awareness. Non-conscious self can playback recorded responses learned in its earliest moments; and do so right up to the last collective breath of the being.

This huge non-conscious processor can perform highly complex continuums of action; all performed without a conscious thought, beyond not vetoing said action when you finally do become conscious of it. I know this is a different way of looking at perception and intention, but this seems to be the case.

We select our continuum by consent, not by intent. Intent is learned behavior, not consciousness asserting itself. If the continuum of experience is the water, intent is the filter. The filter deselects elements of the flow that the filter was designed to remove. This is how conscious veto works.

As the visual illusion unfolds, we become witnesses to a movie, all happening no less than ½ second ago and most constructed from much earlier memories. The intent exists on the non-conscious level. Intent is constructed from the individual’s belief system. Intent is not conscious, it’s learned.

Non-conscious self responds to an event with pre-recorded actions, pasted together in a continuum that meets the perceived needs of that event. If one is not prepared for the event, responding can be highly challenging. From such moments unintended consequences occur.

Experience isn’t what happens to you, it’s what you do with what happens to you.

Past blog entries suggest our continuums are initiated in the non-conscious processes of the mind/brain. This theory appears to confound the concept of interpersonal communication. The relationship between the actor and the audience is exceedingly complex; however, it is understandable and it can be articulated through its variables. Therein lays the art.

This is a fascinating truth to know. There are near infinite bits/sec of information out there in all the potential universes. Every second non-conscious self processes at least 50,000,000 bits/sec of information, pruning the trees of what it already knows. These are the communication trees of mind/brain that populate the forests of our understanding.

A woman I came to know in the 1990's, Dr. Jean Houston, wrote a book years ago by the name of “Mind Games.” This book was a guide to what Jean called inner space. I found this book in a spiritual bookstore in Davis, CA in 1976.

The second book I bought that day was entitled “Thought Forms.” It was originally published around 1911. Interestingly enough, both books encouraged release of conscious control and letting the continuum of events unfold with your conscious perception playing witness.

What we do with that collective information is what non-conscious self processes to determine the 50 bits/sec flow of information conscious self perceives and presents as now. There is a huge volume of information kept in our memory trees and we may never be conscious of any of it, if we don’t need it.

Two well functioning eyes can send the brain 10,000,000 bits/sec. Out of all that information gathered from the visual field only 40 bits/sec are applied to what is consciously seen. Researchers have found that to be the speed limits of conscious vision. Can you imagine what's in the other 9,999,960 bit/sec.?
