The Relationship between Conscious and Unconscious and the Next Stage of My Journey
Finally, I’m finishing Guy Claxton’s Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind. I feel like i’ve been on an epic journey.
I’m changed materially by what I have read. This blog probably evidences this in as good a way as any. As such, completing the book marks a shift in my needs and wants for this blog (and to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever particularly pandered to anything other than this in JST)
‘….an image of the mind as ‘the theatre of consciousness’, a brightly illuminated stage on which the action of mental life takes place; or perhaps as a well-lit office in which sits an intelligent manager, coolly weighing evidence, making decisions, solving problems and issuing orders. In this executive den, human intelligence, consciousness and identity come together: they are, in effect, one and the same thing. ‘I’ am the manager. ‘I’ work in the light. I have access to all the files that comprise my ‘intelligence’.
What I cannot see, or see into, either does not exist, or is mere ‘matter’, the dumb substance of the body that can do nothing of any interest on its own. It may manage certain menial operations like digestion, respiration and circulation without supervision; but to do anything clever it has to wait for instructions from head office.
This image continues to animate and channel our sense of our own psychology, of our potentials and resources…..
……and it is wrong in every respect’
– Guy Claxton, Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind (emphasis added)
Just Seven Things 
it seems like a big journey for me to understand the substance of this blog because of my limited knowledge of brain.
“…..an image of the mind as ‘the theatre of conscioussness’ “, the question mark here is how can ‘the theatre’ come with in a huge different range of the”head office” to have people like you who has super-balance relationship between conscious and unconscious ; to have people like me who always struggle to handle with the relationship between the obvious and evanescent thought?
