Unconscious: Part One – Your Brain is Hot

Unconscious: Part One – Your Brain is HotThis is the first part of our mini-series exploring ideas of the unconscious mind, in which we compare the conscious, subconscious and unconscious states, using Carl Jung's theory of psychodynamics from 'On the Nature of the Psyche' to allude to functions of the material world, as well as Freud's five characteristics of unconscious symbolism. We also ask, what do you really want to do with this jar of pesto?It has been more than 100 years since Freud tried to solve the puzzle of why he fundamentally desired to slaughter his father and penetrate his mother in service to Venus. Jung and others developed Freud's revolutionary insights into what is basically the practice of psychoanalysis today. The purpose of which is for an individual to integrate their unconscious ideas into consciousness. Not to accept who they are, but to become who they are. To enjoy life as an integrated self, newly able to feel a semblance of will and meaning.So why are we not all enlightened beings by now? Why are we still mostly the puppets of genes inherited from prehistoric fish, values internalised from cultures and parents that find truth so disgustingly repellent? Why is the unconscious mind still such a mystery? This unfalsifiable obsession of just a few individuals who call themselves therapists, or, "the rapists?" How can we know what is unknowable, and what would make you want to?But it's not all fishing for scary penis envy and displaced diarrhoea. The people who come out of psychoanalysis know the only thing they can possibly know for sure, that their conscious experience feels better after the process of integration. So if you have a drip of curiosity to discover that which is the core of your being, the controller of your life, so that you can use this knowledge in consciousness to become a person and not a puppet, unleash your only semblance of free will, then come with us into the dark, enchanted forest of the unconscious.Ludicrous epic music credit:Legends by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Hosted on Acast.
