Conscious with Unconscious

What comes into mind when you were given the word conscious and unconscious? I guess it's an easy question and answer.

What comes into mind when I ask what is the correlation between conscious and unconscious? It's an everyday life query that people are usually oblivious of.

Sometimes you would encounter a state of mind where this two matter conflicts each other or go along with each other. Based on my understanding, this is how it goes...

Example 1: Someone who had an education being offered a cigarette would definitely say no... but what would his other part of mind have to say: hey cant you at least give this DEADLY drug a chance? Next second you know it, smoky grey clouds filled the air and your life belongs to the tobacco industry from then onwards.

Example 2: This is the part I told you about your favourite food; sushi!! (Wait... that's my favourite food). The 1st time when your tongue comes in contact with this delightful sensation, you'll experienced 'heaven' and this memory would be placed with the door next to love. The next time when you step outside a Japanese restaurant, your saliva would flood the whole stretch of roads. Though you may not recall any past images, subconsciously you will relate this with the 'heaven' you come across in your earlier age.

In contraire, there would be the bad experience known as trauma. If you swallow some pills and some get caught in your respiratory pipeline, choking would be inevitable. Even if you survive, you most probably ended up having nightmares. This kind of phobia can only be overcome by yourself but friends would always be helpful and some may be drive by their personal partners to rid this evil that haunts you timelessly.

Example 3: This is the 'objects relations' theory i'm going to talk about. This is much less concerned about struggles between parts of mind, and much more concerned about how people understand and represent their relationship with other people. The "objects" in this case are representation of people. This is how you experienced and remember when a particular action is done by others.

A clear example of this would be the 2nd love relationship you're having. Experts say that couples would usually recreate the normal feeling they experience in their 1st. This is the reason why some are unable to start a new relationship when they had the worst outcome of their 1st unless those relationships can be created in some fashion that neglect this dynamics.

So this sums it up the topic I shared today.

Innocent
