[ExI] the (un?)conscious mind

[William Flynn Wallace]

Assumption:  if you are not aware of it you cannot deal with it.

So - a signal comes into the spinal cord and goes to various structures,
sometimes more than one, before it goes to the frontal cortex and becomes
conscious.

But look:  the unconscious has to be conscious to deal with the input
(which includes stopping from it going further into consciousness).

So we have two conscious minds but are stuck in one which is not aware of
the other.  Oh, it knows it exists but has little or no access to it.
OTOH, the unconscious knows all about the conscious as it receives all
inputs before the conscious mind does.  As far as I know nothing goes
straight to the forebrain.

So we have two conscious minds.  Your turn!   bill w
