Morning Session Real vs Reality?

Submitted by Judith Lucas-Odom on Tue, 07/15/2008 - 12:38pm.
Reality is an issue. I understand the story but ... my cognitive unconscious has constructed a story that my reality is not the same as yours but mine is probably more right. This is real to me. This is what I think my students bring to the classroom, that their reality of what they perceive, feel, see, and taste is the only true reality. The cognitive unconscious has allowed our being, self, to feel safe in what we perceive. Feeling safe is okay but it stiffles the creative side. In the classroom, my reality and my students' reality needs to have a happy median. Our I-Function's ability to fill in the holes is a safe haven and at the same time it is a way to be more creative. This is what makes things real!
