A superior podcast! The interviewer understood the material and was well prepared, a rarity in the vast majority of interviews. She knew the correct questions to ask.
Superb job! Superb job, Madame Interviewer. WHY? Because you stayed out of your guest's way. And when you did speak up, it was concise and to the point. Less you. More Mark=Much, MUCH more appreciation of you by listeners!
Roni, congrats to you for starting the Bigger Picture Podcast! I wish you much success, being female gives you an edge. 🤩 We women must band together to reveal our innate powers. Google's algorithms bring me videos of Mark Solms ever since I listened to his description of solving the hard question. "How and why consciousness arises." I understand the mechanism and have used it many years (without knowing how.) I bring repressed memories from my unconscious memories into conscious memory. Something clicks and an emotional conflict gets resolved, freeing me from sadness - or whatever emotion has been repressed because of the emotional pain caused by abandonment, for example. I've been analyzing my dreams decades; dreams are utilized with childhood memories and psychoanalysis to lead us to self understanding. And with newer understanding of attachment theory, and other research since early 1900s (🤣) psychoanalysis has evolved 100% from Freud's hypotheses! If folks only knew about the relevance of personal unconsciousness - their lives would be vastly happier. I look forward to newer videos from The Bigger Picture Podcast - now subscribed.
Thank you Kirstin! I’m so happy you enjoyed the episode ♥️ It sounds like you are on the right path in making the unconscious conscious 😊 Please let me know if you have any guest recommendations or topics you would like me to discuss!
@@ronifouks It would be awesome to have Andrés Gómez Emilsson talking about precisely making the unconscious conscious and how the process of solving emotional conflicts works on a physical level! He has a lot to say about attention!
I've been following Prof. Solms' speeches. And this is absolutely one of the best. Questions asked are very to the points, inviting his concise answeres, answers that are interesting while informative. Excellent.
I'm so glad to have found Prof Mark Solms and his knowledge of the brain and how it works it has confirmed what i was only imagining should be the case , it's like finally putting a face to the name of consciousness .
Well, what can I say! Brilliant moderation, brilliant performance by both interview partners. I have enjoyed this podcast tremendously. ...and I have learned so much! I love teaching (and learning) and Mark is a fantastic teacher, understanding the secret of making complicated subject simple. Well done both of you! (PS I hope Ann Rynd is only in the bookshelf as part of the learning process)
SSRIs are useful only as long as folks are mostly unconscious. I used Wellbutrin many years to allow me to focus on my work, allowing me to earn a living. Then, I stopped lying to myself about my significant other. When I admitted to myself that neither of us were able to truly communicate, I wanted out. Then I became depressed - Wellbutrin did not help me. I was forced to confront myself! This drove me to another psychoanalysis; this time I had to design an analysis that worked for me - not one that met the ridiculous protocols of the various schools of thought for National and International Psychoanalytical Societies and Associations!
Science is all about building on research little by little over long periods of time. We don't throw babies out with the bath water. Freud gave us the building blocks that many have added onto, including Mark Solms, in important ways - including Roni Fouks (The Bigger Picture Podcast) for introducing current research! 💕
I agree - they can be a helpful tool in specific contexts, but they never fix the problem. The most important thing is being aware of what we need - and to make the necessary changes in our lives 🙏🏻
Only ignorant individuals think that human emotions are the source of consciousness because such emotions are merely subjective interpretations of the same thing Ex: Different people have different feelings about the same story, or policy of a new government. Some may like it, some others dislike it, while many other people are simply inddifferent to it. The reason why people have different interpretations of it is that their different emotions or emotional reasoning determines how they interpret the same thing so differently Consciousness is awareness of the existence of the external world or the surrounding environment. It comes from interactions among different forms of matter. But it exists in only some forms of matter, which were created to have active and immediate responses or reactions to changes of other different forms of matter in the surrounding environment. Human beings, other animals and the vegetation on this planet are examples of such forms of matter, Other forms of matter which do not have any sort of consciousness or awareness of the surroundings were not created to have any active and immediate responses or reactions to external influences. Some typical examples are rock, sand, earth, water, metal, wood, human -created objects, such as TV, fridge, computer, motorised vehicle, train, airplane, and so forth. Such forms of matter exist passively, and are always influenced by other forms of matter If you are getting nearer and nearer a deer, it will become aware of your appearance, and runs away because it has consciousness of your existence, or it is aware of another form of being approaching it, and interprets a human as a threat to its survival.The reason why it fears human species comes from the fact that humans have killed many of them, and human killing behavior towards them have been recorded in their memories. Such consciousness or awareness can comes from only interactions among different forms of matter in the surrounding environment. That's is merely an example of experiencing interactions between 2 different forms of matter for you guys to understand that consciousness is accumulated experience in interactions among different forms of matter Without any interaction with any other form of matter through the 5 senses or the peripheral nervous system, human beings would never ever have got any central nervous system, including the brain for you guys to interpret what you guys see, what you guys hear, what you guys taste, what you guys touch, and what you guys feel about to have any sort of awareness or consciousness of the observed in the surrounding environment If you are getting nearer and nearer or approaching such objects as a table in your house, a flower-pot, your computer, they will obviously have no response to your appearance because such forms of matter do not have any consciousness or awareness of any influence in the surroundings. But if you are approaching a dog or a cat, they will obviously have some sort of response or reaction to your appearance because such forms of matter have awareness or consciousness, and it depends on how human species have treated theirs how they will respond to human existence. It means that their consciousness of the existence of human beings is their accumulated experience in interactions with human species What have made all of you guys so fundamentally misunderstand and mistake human emotions for consciousness are human ignorance of the structure and mechanism of the universe, which have created all forms of matter in the universe, and human wild imagination It requires profound knowledge of both natural sciencs, including all branches of physics, chemistry, mathematics, especially astronomy, biology, computer science, as well as such social sciences as sociology for you to understand objectively or correctly such concepts and notions created by human extremely limited knowledge
I'm working on a theory of dreams That makes me think they are not what they seem Strange yet familiar But they feel so real Where do they come from Where do they go Some are like old friends Some like familiar foe Some a bit of both Some shock Some shame Some are just insane Where do they come from Where do they go Many are those who claim to know It's God speaking some say He's pointing the way No, no, comes the counter claim Dreams come from worries, fears and uncried tears Perhaps Perhaps not Maybe those who mine the brain will strike it rich With a new reality show Who wouldn't watch another's dreams With commercials and a proper viewer caution of course Okay, Okay Let's get real The very thing I tell myself when dreams disturb my rest With past tears Future fears Or longings unfulfilled Where do they come from Where do they go My theory is that dreams Are nightly thought streams Flowing without our knowing Leaving only silhouette shadows Cast by the dawning light
What I find strange is how people have NDE’s or dreams that give them information that know other person could have known about.such as seeing a relative who had passed without the person experiencing the NDE to know. Verdical NDE’s ect. It’s certainly a big web of investigating.
Dreams give humans insight into their unconscious mind. It's astounding to me that folks are unaware that they have unconscious feelings. This is what Freud is all about. If we desire true self understanding it is only possible via unraveling whatever our dreams give us. And each person will have dreams that picture her or his emotional wishes or conflicts in technicolor. We simply must learn the symbolism expressed in our dreams. Yet, emotions and feeling are contained in our dreams as well. Start writing your dreams down, because only then will you become proficient at remembering them. I read Freud's Interpretation of Dreams at age 17, without understanding one word - yet I intuitively knew its importance. I understood that I needed to discover my dream world. I've spent my entire adult life analyzing my dreams.
Where do dreams come from - the fundamental question! I don't know because God is not in my life. How was life created, and intelligence? I believe that perhaps Energy resulted in "the Big Bang" and that evolution created mammals, insects, etc. Why are dreams possible? IDK, yet through psychoanalysis my level of consciousness increased with my level of uncovering/unraveling my unconscious, Maybe there is a God who wants humanity to be the best form of ourselves possible. It's my belief that the question of Consciousness begins at birth. At that point we all are on a spectrum of Consciousness. As we discover our paths to self observation and self understanding, we begin to unravel our personal conflicts that are stored in our personal unconscious. As we begin to understand ourselves we become more Conscious. To me, psychoanalysis, after many years, led me to a high level of Consciousness. Psychoanalysis is the Wests' path to Consciousness, with Enlightenment being the ultimate goal. I do not know whether or not life is ongoing, yet maybe each repeating lifetime brings us to higher Consciousness by striving towards becoming more empathic, compassionate humans. Could this be possible? Personally, psychoanalysis has allowed me to understand why my childhood was dysfunctional, why I could not concentrate during secondary school years and why I was not prepared for adulthood because I was an emotional basket case. Will Jesus allow mankind to understand personal issues - or does he/she give you the ability to forget your misery as long as you are willing to wait for his return to save everyone and bring perfection into our world? Life is complicated; we all make mistakes and usually become unlikable to ourselves, striving for material happiness. Is this really mankind's purpose in life? 😅🤣😂🙂🙃😉😭

Evolutionarily, as well.
I'm working on a theory of dreams
That makes me think they are not what they seem
Strange yet familiar
But they feel so real
Where do they come from
Where do they go
Some are like old friends
Some like familiar foe
Some a bit of both
Some shock
Some shame
Some are just insane
Where do they come from
Where do they go
Many are those who claim to know
It's God speaking some say
He's pointing the way
No, no, comes the counter claim
Dreams come from worries, fears and uncried tears
Perhaps
Perhaps not
Maybe those who mine the brain will strike it rich
With a new reality show
Who wouldn't watch another's dreams
With commercials and a proper viewer caution of course
Okay, Okay
Let's get real
The very thing I tell myself when dreams disturb my rest
With past tears
Future fears
Or longings unfulfilled
Where do they come from
Where do they go
My theory is that dreams
Are nightly thought streams
Flowing without our knowing
Leaving only silhouette shadows
Cast by the dawning light

😅🤣😂🙂🙃😉😭
If feelings are fundamental, then all life forms, including for sure insects, that eat and run away must be conscious.
You’re making unverifiable assumptions here…
@@christopherhamilton3621 why do you think it is unverifiable?
I think Mark maybe wrong about single cell reflexes and choice as the starting point of conciseness.
