Subconscious

  I've had different understandings of what the subconscious is over the years. Originally I thought of it as those thoughts and ideas that lay buried within us that motivates us, causing emotional responses or actions from us. When I became knowledgeable of Dolores Cannon's work in Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy, the idea of the subconscious became more equated with the Divine Self of the I AM. The first known use of the word was by the English essayist Thomas de Quincey. In his use of the word, it is argued by Markus Iseli that current usage has it confused with the definition we have today of the unconscious. Iseli claims de Quincey uses the word in such a format that indicates “implicit thought, automaticity, implicit perception, and implicit motivation" ( Source ). What this entails then is thought, action, or reaction is based upon a developed, habitual, and, therefore, known response to how things are supposed to operate. It doesn't matter if it's true or...

Logic Part Deux

  I wrote the following question on a piece of paper the other day: Is logic merely subconscious programming? Defined, subconscious means "mental processes taking place without consciousness" (Source) Consciousness: "internal knowledge," "state of being aware of what passes in one's own mind," "state of being aware" (Source) Logic : "the science of distinction of true from false reasoning" (Source) To reason : "to question" or "challenge" (Source) Etymologically speaking, the question would be a resounding no. Perhaps, more specifically, we should state "Is the current understanding of logic merely subconscious programming?" Hmm... That's an interesting way of defining logic as if one person's determination from questioning is wrong compared to another. To clarify though, it is the act of actually questioning or challenging, not in the derived outcome. We seem to speak of logic today in terms ...

  Dementia has been ever-increasing in the population within the last decade and even affects younger adults, as young as in their twenties. It is a list of symptoms that characterize the more well-known Alzheimer's but also other diseases such as Lewy Body and Vascular Dementia. One of the most prevalent symptoms is that of repetitive speech and actions. As a former CNA, I began my nursing home career specifically in the Dementia Unit. There was one elderly lady in particular who was affected by what is called sundowner syndrome, meaning when the sun went down, her repetitive symptoms kicked in. At around 8pm every night, she would begin fretting over whether or not she had enough beds for all her unwanted guests and where her husband could possibly be at this time of night. There is speculation (which more than likely has much truth in it ) that over-medication may be the main cause of the sundowning. The repetitiveness however is guaranteed. Through channeling, I’ve come to not...
