Subject: [K-list] Unconscious/Subconscious

Hello Martin,

<< I would agree, strictly in terms of the usage of the words: the term
"unconscious mind" is a contradiction in terms. A mind is by definition
conscious. Do you have a mind when you are unconscious? >>

I would answer by a question, do you have a body, to take an example,
when you are unconscious?

<< The whole essence of being unconscious is that your mind is not
operating! So, references to the unconscious are to non-conscious
things, i.e., things other than minds, or your own mind, anyway (since
you are not generally consciously experiencing other minds directly). >>

Is our body something different than our own mind?

By the way we answer those questions the meaning of the word unconscious
for one varies greatly.

Antoine

<< Subconscious? Pre-conscious? Are these grey areas? I would regard
them
as unconscious too.

Of course, there may be more than one part of the psyche that can be
conscious, but *you* will only experience *yourself* directly, not any
other bits that may also be there... But that is a different can of
worms. >>
