I don't know whether I do or not; certainly, I am not aware of any body
when I am unconscious. Let's suppose, however, that I do have a body
when I am unconscious (although what it is that "has" a body is
unclear).

Hi!
I just joined this list a couple days ago and so far I feel like its a pretty
relevant list. I hope this message gets sent to all on the list. I am still
a bit of a computer novice.
Also, I got in late to the conversation, but I do know that "unconscious"
means unknowing. Like when someone passes out, they're unconscious. And I
don't beleive that the part of yourself that regulates your heartbeat, your
blood pressure, your breathing is "unknowing". And I also appreciate that
calling it "unconcious" is a probably just a matter of semantics.
And the same with calling it subconscious. Which means below the conscious
mind. When my conscious mind can count to 200,000,000 in a second then I
will agree with the idea of a sub-conscious mind.
In the meantime, a friend of mine who has been developing his own field of
psychology has subverted this attempt to label & define outside of
consciousness by using the term Other-Than-Conscious, to describe anything
else that we're not conscious of. Which the appreciation that language just
doesn't translate experiences real well.
Anyway, I hope that is appropriate to the conversation. And with specific
application to kundalini, I believe that the other-than-conscious mind uses
kundalini (or vice-versa) to self-regulate and enhance the health &
well-being of the individual.
Robert
