What can we ever touch?

Submitted by redmink on Sun, 04/26/2009 - 8:38pm.

I enjoyed reading people’s posts about how personality affects cognitive conscious part of the brain beause whatever information is coming from the unconscious, it will interpret partly based on the personality trait the person has.

My question is,

What determins the range of every individual’s unconscious?

Is it the childhood experience?

Is there a way to control the range of possibilities of the cognitive unconsicous?

I see cognitive unconscious ingredients of some dish and conscious as a cook.  Depending on the cook’s skill and preference, the dish might turn out as Korean, American fusion, or French.  But can we somehow not buy certain ingredients from the beginning?

All I could think of for example is meditation.  By thinking only positive things and allowing positive energy flow throughout the body and the brain, a person can direct his/her unconscious temporarily. 

As we grow and age, which part of the biparte brain is evolving?

What can we touch?
