I've always loved your series, but I'm so excited to see you exploring more topics like these! There really isn't another show out there like this. The camera work is fantastic, and your knowledge and your ability to seek out scholars is commendable. Keep up the great work!
He adds too much of his own beliefs into the series though. He should be the presenter/narrator of the show while presenting ideas and opinions of others in his interview. There are many times he manage to squeeze in his religiously apologetic opinions and beliefs into the presentation, which is not appropriate. I guess, being the producer means he get to run his own show to a certain degree. No argument he deserves lot of credits for any hard work he put into producing and writing this series though.
@@ddandrews6472 That's curious because I actually felt the opposite way, when I was more religiously inclined! He speaks as an agnostic who goes back and fourth, which means he rejects strong views. I suppose anyone who is a hard partisan on otherside will likely take him to be leaning in the opposing camp!
@@paulkelly1162 Well... you just explained yourself by saying "when I was "religiously inclined". The moment you do that critical thinking get flushed down the sewer. Robert Kuhn from time to time indicates his inflated ego and his fear of death and fear of losing self as he's nearing the end. That's why he can't hide his preference for beliefs and theories that place consciousness or self as the base of reality as we experience. I suspect he's behind the funding of this program as well, otherwise his writing influence can't be explained. However, regardless of his real background, he needs to be highly appreciated for doing so many of this "consciousness interviews" with many known and unknown players in the game. However, if you are "religiously inclined" as you say, then this conversation with you is a waste of time. Instead you might want to study Robert Kuhn's early "brain research", who he did the research for as well as his banking work. His most recent interest in consciousness does has a history to it going back to his doctorate and research with religious organizations.
@@ddandrews6472 I have religious inclinations that come and go. Your call if you want to chat. What's the most knock down argument against metaphysics, religion, and all that, in your view? What's your interest in looking at Kuhn's material? Morbid curiosity? Maybe you're interested in it like an anthropologist? Maybe you like being able to articulate your view better?
@@ddandrews6472 Those are good points about Kuhn's motivation and past research. To his credit though, he also presents his fears and biases fairly openly; at least on some occasions.
By default, it assists our wrong feelings and thinking. Helps us to come up with false notions, bad ideas, and making wrong decisions and moves. Helps us to stress ourselves out trying to do everything by our mind and willpower alone. In other words, it directs mechanical autopilot action and impulses. So in that aspect it’s not much of a friend to us. But with effort, it also assists us in the right decisions we make. The truth, is that it’s at our command, but we don’t know yet how to command it.
I’m most impacted by Julia Mossbridge’s concept that the our available consciousness is the filtered version of reality that our greater consciousness allows us access to on a ‘need to know’ basis.
Interesting idea, that religion and belief in an afterlife might have started with people having dreams of meeting 'ancestors' and other dead loved ones.
no it's not religion explained the afterlife with much more explanation to which dream or subconscious or unsubconscious mind don't have access to. It can only be explained the one and only who created us.
It is incredible how Robert Lawrence Kuhn so facilitatively brings up Freud when speaking of dreams and their connection with past traumatic events, yet completely ignores Jung. He knocks down Freud's theories like a bowler bowling a strike; yet, it appears that Kuhn is completely unconscious of Jung.
Jung made up lot of rubbish as well as good material, comparing to Freud. Telekinesis is one of Jung's alchemy work. Some of the sophisticated rubbish Jung made up could not have come to surface had there been any anti-psychotic medication in his time.
The subconscious is a relatively new field of psychology that has been around for just over 100 years or so. It developed out of the earlier understandings of the unconscious, which was introduced in 1895 by Sigmund Freud. According to Freud, the subconscious is a place where we store our memories and emotions - things that are not currently conscious but still important for us. The subconscious is not a single entity, but rather a place where we store our memories and emotions. The way that it affects us can be summed up into two parts: automatic processes and non-automatic processes. For automatic processes, the subconscious is responsible for a variety of things. For instance, it helps us to speak fluently and without conscious thought. It helps us to remember important information - like our phone number or social security number. For non-automatic processes, the subconscious is responsible for our dreams. This is a very interesting phenomenon as it serves as an avenue where we can explore ourselves and learn more about what makes us who we are. You may be asking yourself, how can dreams tell us about ourselves? This is a very good question and one that cannot really be answered in its entirety. It could potentially help to gain insight into our own minds, but at the same time it is impossible to know if this apparent 'self' we discover in our dreams is indeed correct. That is exactly why dreams are interesting. It's because there is no way to know whether the subconscious itself can be trusted.
Subconsciousness...the barely audible crack of a stepped on twig. A barely discernable smell of smoke. Any kind of stimuli can get the subconscious going. I think our analyzing brains want to identify and settle any issue quickly. Whether we want it to or not. I suspect that most of our subconsciousness is a direct response to barely noticeable stimuli. Robert Kuhn, thank you for all of your videos.
The subconscious is mind blowing. I walked into a church and immediately felt the floor was wrong. I looked down and it was laminate flooring, but it wasnt when I felt it. It was carpet that looked like laminate flooring. My brain had seen laminate, and was waiting for the effect laminate had on my feet, and when it was wrong, it alerted me, like a totally different person.
Mr. Robert, If I should have a channel on TH-cam myself, this would be it. I'm a big fan cos you speak my mind all the time, due to my long journey into epsitemology. Please keep it up! and Thanks for your efforts and insights.
it still makes logical sense to me that dreams are a real outlet for what you really think. yet from the dreams that i do recall, they truly seldom if ever have much ground in reality. i can never recall them having any effect on me the following day, other than to perhaps talk about the dream. but the dream itself never made me more happy, or more sad, etc. i do have more bad dreams than good ones. the only thing i can think of in that regard, is that perhaps it releases fears, and allows me to have a more optimistic attitude ? that is just a speculation.
it effect my day its like i have lived a bad day and it is effecting me the next day when i wake up, it feels like youre living a second life many of the dreams happen in my life, she is right the subcocious mind is leading our life maybe some of us i dont know
Mossbridge’s explicatiin of the subconscious in relation to the conscious is extremely amenable to the understanding of how the divine Logos, Memrah or the second person of the Trinity interacted with the material world in the person of Jesus.
16:05 “dreams influence who we are, they influence how we build up a self so in that sense the self is central to consciousness and the self depends on dreams to some extent”
We have all had the dream that was so out of the ordinary, so bizarre, that we know it could never be tied to ordinary day reality. It's these dreams we still ponder on. There is a reason why more books have been written on conscience, in the name of science, without any scientific consensus.
@@gregariousguru but this bizarre aspect isn’t something unmoored from our reality, that was Freud’s whole point in _The Interpretation of Dreams,_ it is our unique dream language. Freud believed that dreams had both a manifest aspect (the dream as remembered literally) and it’s latent content (the deeper meaning hidden in the symbolic coordinates of the dream)-no matter how bizarre the constellations of our dreams, their symbols are a “royal road” to our unconscious, to parts of our psyche which may be forbidden or repressed by our conscious mind. That’s what I gather at least.
@@nightoftheworld I like that idea and it's not a bad interpretation. But I believe what is even more fascinating is that even when we sleep and believe we are at rest, awareness is still awake.
The guy with the monkey was a bit creepy. Especially due to the fact that he seemed so insensitive to the fact that his “pet”monkey was the subject of cruel experiments.

But the analogy to the mind “the whole thing makes the decision” not just some part, is good.
I have been watching your videos for months now and I find them thought provoking. On this one I am wondering why no mention of Carl Jung and his works on the subconscious? Do you not consider his ideas worth consideration?
subconscious is a high speed brain connected to conscious through extremely complex filtering such that conscious can not have direct healthy access like a bridge to subconscious. Conscious mind is a peaceful mind where subconscious is the battlefield. Subconscious can implement conscious ideas and deliver in a form of signal for conscious to process the outcome of high calculated result. It is the treasure and must be left alone.

The unconscious is simply put all the rest that we are not conscious of!! We are conscious of our physical surroundings, our bodies and whatever internal states and qualia that we may happen to be experiencing at the moment!! That leaves a huge huge other that we are not experiencing!! Our waking consciousness is focused on a particular point on our timeline!! It’s akin to what Don Juan Matus refered to as the assemblage point!! The point in our being where we assemble our world!! I think that is equivalent to our waking consciousness!! Our focus!! Don Juan said that we could with practice shift that focus and change worlds!! Well, whatever other focuses are there lie in our unconscious!! Couldn’t we in theory unfocus ourselves from our timeline and shift to a point above the timelines?? A point they call 5-D consciousness?? Who knows???
People really should give much more attention to the subconscious. Examining it, exploring it's capabilities and role. Even in their own lives, be observant, pay attention to how it works, and how it's responds, what it responds to and how it brings a result. If you do you'll see much more than you expected.

The blind sight mystery was solved recently. The superior colliculus is a parallel visual pathway not using the V1. It's considered an artifact from our evolution. The SC is particularly suited for linear wider perspective movement, likely evolved for amphibians/lizards to spot crawling beetles, etc.
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!" "Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"
The-Unconscious (Freud's unconsciousness) does indeed exist. That the retentive awareness and experiences registered in the brain, that get repressed in the-Unconscious, remain within that spectrum of conscious (a region of consciousness that is utterly inaccessible,) and not in the memory itself. Hence, inaccessible.
7:36 this is used extensively today. By media, governments, companies, anyone that wants to get a specific action out of a group of people. Not many understand it's happening though, and causes a lot of issues.
i think we have all experienced our subconscious working. in that we will try to remember something, and cant. then hours or days later, the answer comes to us, when we werent even trying to think of it. so no doubt that our sub-conscious supplies us with information. but it is still me and my actual consciousness that makes the final decision. i may dream about all sorts of crazy stuff. but i am never gonna think they are good ideas.
I experienced a nightmare while awake and now it haunts me. You see that's where I now live, it's the center of my reality. But, I dreamed this nightmare before it entered my concrete conscious reality.
Usually love the series, but disappointed to hear Freud's view of the Unconscious, and yet no mention of his 'protege' Carl Jung, whose whole life and body of work was _devoted_ to it (including exploring The Shadow, the Collective Unconscious, and Synchronicity, among others)? BTW, an excellent starting point might be Psychiatrist and Physician Ian McGilchrist's award-winning book 'The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World' (2009), which credits Jung, and also describes the neurological and evolutionary evidence that we are indeed of much more than just 'One' mind.
- Mind is just our thoughts - Source of the thoughts is Self/Consciousness/God - Root of all thoughts is "I" thought - "I" thought, when left unchecked, transforms into complex thoughts based on memories and creates impulses - this is referred to as subconscious Solution 1. Start watching the thoughts carefully to find the source 2. Once we find the source of the thoughts - we are done 3. Source of thoughts is the Self/Consciousness/God 4. This needs constant watching of thoughts and erasing the subconscious
Blind / Mind sight trained chimp at 12 minutes is very interesting. I am not sure aphants can learn mind / blind sight., but if a chimp can, then it must have an internal mental image system.
Internal subconscious acts on consciousness during sleep, including dreams, communicating ideas and moods as well as exchanging information and replenishing brain / consciousness.
While person awake, conscious awareness digs into and uses subconscious information and resources to understand and interact with external reality, both material and immaterial (mind)
There is a video on youtube with people claiming that Stevie Wonder can actually see, that he is faking blindness. In the video Wonder is on stage in front of a microphone stand. Someone walking across the stage in front of him bumps into the microphone knocking it over, and Stevie reaches out and catches it before it falls. I’ve always been puzzled and I wonder if this blind sight is what happened.
One time I had this feeling of dejavu and when I thought about how could this be, when did I experience this in the past? I realized it was the night before in a dream.
Anyone else find it peculiar that it's almost always someone else, outside your conscience, that is telling you the true meaning and reason why you had that dream 🤔
it is not the 'unsolicited' thoughts that emerge from ur subconscious brain that dictate ur conduct... It is rather how ur conscious intentional attention deals with them.
I would like to tell a story in relation to this episode about a person that was suffering panic attacks. She later discovered/remembered that while she was in her mother's womb, her mother would pull her stomach in to hide the fact that she is pregnant from her own parents. It turned out that the panic attacks were resulting from that. The problem with psychology is that rather than looking at the human as a live being, it's trying to fit him/her in a paradigm structure derived from its current level of understanding of the subject. The human psyche is much much more complicated than the science currently understands, which it seems to admit on one hand, but on the other hand paradoxically it states that if something is not supported by the current scientific data, than it is not true. There is a big contradiction here, if one wills to pay attention to this fact sincerely.
the lady in the end of the video got a good point not everyone but some of us is just like she says some of us is leaded by the subconcious and the majority does what has been told and taught to do it is a very complicated unsolved yet
Subconscious and conscious are likely dealing with different aspects of human person, sometimes working together, mostly independent. Might be specific causative interactions, not likely to be general causation between the two.
Mind is the boss. That will explain all. Consciousness is nothing but an integration of Mind’s mental abilities, no mystery about it. Subconscious is also nothing but an integration of Mind’s mental abilities, no mystery about it. Imagination is one of Mind’s mental abilities and it can take you to the future. That is Hope or Wish. Thus, understand the mind is the first (fundamental) thing to do for exploring all of the mental abilities, such as Observation, Comprehension and etc. Physics + Biology + Cognitive science + Brain science can only find a few tiny branches of the Mind's (God’s) Tree. I don't despise science, but I don’t constrain my mind and life in science. Yes, you can radically study subconscious with conscious, because they are connected in your Mind. Play tennis is one event you use them both. What is the Mind? How does Mind produce mental abilities? How do Mind-brain interface? What is the radical way of relate Mind to God? I will tell you later when the fate is blessing.
Consciousness is an open-ended question and it depends on many factors, mainly media. I don't think we can talk about consciousness in the western context, because people are put to sleep by the media. You hardly know anyone who is aware of what is happening to the poor countries, except they are collecting money through charities to 'help' them - not knowing helping anyone is to let the person do what THEY want, not what YOU want. So, the best thing to do is talk about subconsciousness, which drives consciousness - given people are well-informed, not informed to keep them happy by ignoring important questions about the welfare of poor people. Our world need consciousness to work to be able to mend our world, not served to milk the poor for the rich.
Whereas the conscious appears to be more about what is done during the day, is the subconscious more about where we are going in the long term? Would that have anything to do with sleepwalking?
Subconscious works from outside to the inside of human person, could be through information, waves, moods and other. Internal subconscious might be the soul.
Popular names vary by decades, similar names are found in similar neighbourhoods and social classes. Making ppl with same initials more likely to have things in common and share proximity or get lumped together in social apps. It's been a year that I've heard AI would rate someone that charges his mobile more frequently as more outgoing and extrovert. The dimensionality of interaction and scale are sometimes too difficult to track but just labeling them with psychologic jargon obscures the quest. No wonder psychology suffers from replication issues, it's frequently metaphoric.
i would like to question the study about names, and people marrying others with the first same initial. i would want to know just how they conducted these tests, and from which their conclusions arrived ? at least with american names, J is by far the most common first letter of a name. so a couple both with J, tells me very little.
Funny you say that because the first and only married couple i thought of right away and only one without thinking real hard they both had J. I think you hit the nail on the head! He was reaching with that one. Lol Has nothing to do with subconscious at all.
@@blakepuhlman6466 when people do this, it is usually a sign of them being biased. i dont think it was just a mistake, because it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out !!
Does the subconscious have less or more physical connections to the brain than other brain functions? What is the relationship of subconscious to the brain?
i mean the idea that trauma doesnt lead to behavioral change is preposterous. like 90% of serial killers had a traumatic childhood. talk to any soldier whose been through combat, those experiences come out in nightmares and changed behavior throughout their lives. there is certainly a unconscious way in which these memories get buried and come out throughout our lives.
"As for the Freudian view, there's scant scientific evidence that our subconscious determines our behaviors... " There's scant scientific evidence of much at all (!) when it comes to the mind and consciousness. His statement denying Freud's conclusions must be taken with a - large - grain of salt, and I don't say this from a position of support for Freudian theory (he's certainly not my favorite). But those who study the mind cannot strongly denounce a concept that "lacks much backing", simply because the scientific study of the mind is nowhere near complete, not even ballpark; and therefore we must continue to entertain (and not rule out) plausible ideas until our understanding is much further along.
What is relationship between subconscious and conscious? The subconscious may be dealing more with God while the conscious deals more with people. Dreams may have both subconscious and conscious elements, with people and nature in dreams representing conscious element and the action of the dream representing subconscious element.

TH-cam videos of Dr. Bruce Lipton explain subconscious state very well.
This show has one helluva travel budget for PBS.
"Hmmm... I'm curious about X... I traveled to Maui to talk to Dr. Smarty Pants...
Hmmm... I'm curious about Y... I traveled to Paris to talk to Professor Super Smarty..." etc.
Nice gig Larry, nice gig.
I am often surprised on how this Channel doesn't have hundreds of thousands of more subscribers !
The blind sight mystery was solved recently. The superior colliculus is a parallel visual pathway not using the V1. It's considered an artifact from our evolution. The SC is particularly suited for linear wider perspective movement, likely evolved for amphibians/lizards to spot crawling beetles, etc.

Great, I love new knowledge. I'll be looking for it.
Excellent..... thanks 🙏
Great episode👍
Not remembering your dreams can mean you aren't getting enough sleep.
very intresting, thanks.
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!" "Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"
The-Unconscious (Freud's unconsciousness) does indeed exist. That the retentive awareness and experiences registered in the brain, that get repressed in the-Unconscious, remain within that spectrum of conscious (a region of consciousness that is utterly inaccessible,) and not in the memory itself. Hence, inaccessible.
Do the moods in dreams come from internal awareness or picked up from external source by subconscious?
Both
7:36 this is used extensively today. By media, governments, companies, anyone that wants to get a specific action out of a group of people. Not many understand it's happening though, and causes a lot of issues.
Nice social distance

I'm not surprised you had to 'edit' your nonsense, yet your demons still won...Do you even have 'better angels'?
'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.'
i think we have all experienced our subconscious working. in that we will try to remember something, and cant. then hours or days later, the answer comes to us, when we werent even trying to think of it. so no doubt that our sub-conscious supplies us with information. but it is still me and my actual consciousness that makes the final decision. i may dream about all sorts of crazy stuff. but i am never gonna think they are good ideas.
I found my cars keys that way once. They were left on the work bench next to the vice grip.
I experienced a nightmare while awake and now it haunts me. You see that's where I now live, it's the center of my reality. But, I dreamed this nightmare before it entered my concrete conscious reality.
Premonitions actually happen. I've had a few
Wonderful
Less, is needed to get closer to truth.
What if our dreams are a reflection of our twins living different lives in other parallel universes?
I also think subconscious mind is also fuelled by our diets.
Robert’s subconscious must’ve wanted a mustache bc it grew fast lol

I think salvia made me aware of the unconscious mind, I knew everything at once.
Usually love the series, but disappointed to hear Freud's view of the Unconscious, and yet no mention of his 'protege' Carl Jung, whose whole life and body of work was _devoted_ to it (including exploring The Shadow, the Collective Unconscious, and Synchronicity, among others)?
BTW, an excellent starting point might be Psychiatrist and Physician Ian McGilchrist's award-winning book 'The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World' (2009), which credits Jung, and also describes the neurological and evolutionary evidence that we are indeed of much more than just 'One' mind.
- Mind is just our thoughts
- Source of the thoughts is Self/Consciousness/God
- Root of all thoughts is "I" thought
- "I" thought, when left unchecked, transforms into complex thoughts based on memories and creates impulses - this is referred to as subconscious
Solution
1. Start watching the thoughts carefully to find the source
2. Once we find the source of the thoughts - we are done
3. Source of thoughts is the Self/Consciousness/God
4. This needs constant watching of thoughts and erasing the subconscious
God this was a fascinating episode
I'm delighted for your facsination. Now let us pray 🙏 for discernment of the enablent. Thanks
Blind / Mind sight trained chimp at 12 minutes is very interesting. I am not sure aphants can learn mind / blind sight., but if a chimp can, then it must have an internal mental image system.
He answered tide because it is because we have been using such detergent for a long time and one of the widely use so far.
The woman at the end is on the right track.. Subconscious is akin to a super-supercomputer. It knows all.
Internal subconscious acts on consciousness during sleep, including dreams, communicating ideas and moods as well as exchanging information and replenishing brain / consciousness.
While person awake, conscious awareness digs into and uses subconscious information and resources to understand and interact with external reality, both material and immaterial (mind)
There is a video on youtube with people claiming that Stevie Wonder can actually see, that he is faking blindness.
In the video Wonder is on stage in front of a microphone stand.
Someone walking across the stage
in front of him bumps into the microphone knocking it over, and Stevie reaches out and catches it before it falls.
I’ve always been puzzled and I wonder if this blind sight is what happened.
One time I had this feeling of dejavu and when I thought about how could this be, when did I experience this in the past? I realized it was the night before in a dream.
Anyone else find it peculiar that it's almost always someone else, outside your conscience, that is telling you the true meaning and reason why you had that dream 🤔
it is not the 'unsolicited' thoughts that emerge from ur subconscious brain that dictate ur conduct... It is rather how ur conscious intentional attention deals with them.
I would like to tell a story in relation to this episode about a person that was suffering panic attacks. She later discovered/remembered that while she was in her mother's womb, her mother would pull her stomach in to hide the fact that she is pregnant from her own parents. It turned out that the panic attacks were resulting from that.
The problem with psychology is that rather than looking at the human as a live being, it's trying to fit him/her in a paradigm structure derived from its current level of understanding of the subject. The human psyche is much much more complicated than the science currently understands, which it seems to admit on one hand, but on the other hand paradoxically it states that if something is not supported by the current scientific data, than it is not true. There is a big contradiction here, if one wills to pay attention to this fact sincerely.
the lady in the end of the video got a good point not everyone but some of us is just like she says
some of us is leaded by the subconcious and the majority does what has been told and taught to do
it is a very complicated unsolved yet
I think the consciousness is affected by matter. Stay in the bright side.
Isn’t it obvious that our grand conscience “self” is a tangent of our true self.
"Sub-", or suppressed, conscious?
Subconscious and conscious are likely dealing with different aspects of human person, sometimes working together, mostly independent. Might be specific causative interactions, not likely to be general causation between the two.

Mind is the boss. That will explain all.
Consciousness is nothing but an integration of Mind’s mental abilities, no mystery about it.
Subconscious is also nothing but an integration of Mind’s mental abilities, no mystery about it.
Imagination is one of Mind’s mental abilities and it can take you to the future. That is Hope or Wish.
Thus, understand the mind is the first (fundamental) thing to do for exploring all of the mental abilities, such as Observation, Comprehension and etc.
Physics + Biology + Cognitive science + Brain science can only find a few tiny branches of the Mind's (God’s) Tree. I don't despise science, but I don’t constrain my mind and life in science.
Yes, you can radically study subconscious with conscious, because they are connected in your Mind. Play tennis is one event you use them both.
What is the Mind? How does Mind produce mental abilities? How do Mind-brain interface? What is the radical way of relate Mind to God? I will tell you later when the fate is blessing.
Unconscious and subconscious realities are a slap in the face of evolutionary theory.
Consciousness is an open-ended question and it depends on many factors, mainly media. I don't think we can talk about consciousness in the western context, because people are put to sleep by the media. You hardly know anyone who is aware of what is happening to the poor countries, except they are collecting money through charities to 'help' them - not knowing helping anyone is to let the person do what THEY want, not what YOU want.
So, the best thing to do is talk about subconsciousness, which drives consciousness - given people are well-informed, not informed to keep them happy by ignoring important questions about the welfare of poor people.
Our world need consciousness to work to be able to mend our world, not served to milk the poor for the rich.
Whereas the conscious appears to be more about what is done during the day, is the subconscious more about where we are going in the long term? Would that have anything to do with sleepwalking?
LSD is the transporter there
Subconscious works from outside to the inside of human person, could be through information, waves, moods and other. Internal subconscious might be the soul.
Popular names vary by decades, similar names are found in similar neighbourhoods and social classes. Making ppl with same initials more likely to have things in common and share proximity or get lumped together in social apps. It's been a year that I've heard AI would rate someone that charges his mobile more frequently as more outgoing and extrovert. The dimensionality of interaction and scale are sometimes too difficult to track but just labeling them with psychologic jargon obscures the quest. No wonder psychology suffers from replication issues, it's frequently metaphoric.
God dwells within our subconscious mind,mind is (NOT)brain
To learn more about subconscious' genius read Jaak Panksepp. He claims subconscious is more clever than conscious mind based on his empirical studies.
i would like to question the study about names, and people marrying others with the first same initial. i would want to know just how they conducted these tests, and from which their conclusions arrived ? at least with american names, J is by far the most common first letter of a name. so a couple both with J, tells me very little.
Funny you say that because the first and only married couple i thought of right away and only one without thinking real hard they both had J. I think you hit the nail on the head! He was reaching with that one. Lol Has nothing to do with subconscious at all.
@@blakepuhlman6466 when people do this, it is usually a sign of them being biased. i dont think it was just a mistake, because it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out !!
Does the subconscious have less or more physical connections to the brain than other brain functions? What is the relationship of subconscious to the brain?
It would be interesting if you interviewed a kabbalist on these matters. re: hierarchy of worlds(consciousness)
You know they cloth from those Lilly’s
We may be overthinking this.
FEAR
A good interview might be a researcher who studies the subconscious using psychedelics experimentation.
i mean the idea that trauma doesnt lead to behavioral change is preposterous. like 90% of serial killers had a traumatic childhood. talk to any soldier whose been through combat, those experiences come out in nightmares and changed behavior throughout their lives. there is certainly a unconscious way in which these memories get buried and come out throughout our lives.
That lady is an idiot- she can’t spell trauma if she wants too
I think one thing Robert has to ask himself is, Am I trying subconsciously to look like Einstein? lol
What about intuition or insight?
"As for the Freudian view, there's scant scientific evidence that our subconscious determines our behaviors... "
There's scant scientific evidence of much at all (!) when it comes to the mind and consciousness. His statement denying Freud's conclusions must be taken with a - large - grain of salt, and I don't say this from a position of support for Freudian theory (he's certainly not my favorite). But those who study the mind cannot strongly denounce a concept that "lacks much backing", simply because the scientific study of the mind is nowhere near complete, not even ballpark; and therefore we must continue to entertain (and not rule out) plausible ideas until our understanding is much further along.
Wonderful observation.
What is relationship between subconscious and conscious? The subconscious may be dealing more with God while the conscious deals more with people. Dreams may have both subconscious and conscious elements, with people and nature in dreams representing conscious element and the action of the dream representing subconscious element.
Yeah Sometimes the influence which we aren't Aware of are Usually called Demons
