'I' am growing more aware that there are many more thoughts, feelings and moods (TFM) in the unconscious parts of the mindbrain than there are in the conscious and self-conscious parts.
Fair enough, this is a
subjective impression; but there is hard evidence in terms of a
continuous stream of TFM passing through the attention centre.
The TFMs come from the
unconscious, capture attention for a while, and then they are gone.
Where do they go? Do they go back into the unconscious in a modified
form or are they like flames when a fire goes out? … I have not
figured that out yet.
There are 'Aha' moments
when the answer to a question suddenly appears - eureka. And, at
their best, musicians are in the groove, athletes are in the zone and
poets take dictation from their muse. This is normally linked to a
non-egoic (self-less) state of mind which is expansive, awe-some and
creative. It is called flow.
My mindbrain seems hard
wired to make sense of random noise (patternicity eg to see
constellations in the night sky) and to reckon that every action has
an agent (agenticity eg to believe that droughts are punishments from
the Gods).
These days I get my
jollies through leaving the unconscious agent to 'see' patterns. And
the patterns
manifest as short
stories (text) and doodles (graphics). My technique involves avoiding
distraction and busy-ness so that the mindbrain becomes peaceful in
the non-egoic way - and text and graphics emerge.
My blog is testament to
unconscious activity – text and graphics. This blogpost exists to
demonstrate that of which it 'speaks' graphically. A good picture is
worth a thousand words. Do they say anything to you? They are divided
into five main categories:
- Faces single
- Faces groups
- Faces abstract
- Abstract
- Scenes
