I often wonder how often I
I often wonder how often I should allow my unconscious to come forward--because, intuitively speaking, it seems plausible that there should be times when the conscious doesn't hinder the unconscious thought. We can't always inhibit everything our unconscious desires, strictly speaking. However, from a personal level, I often find that I have trouble meditating or even dwelling upon a thought that is not refined by my conscious. I cannot draw myself into the meditative state because I have a constant train of thoughts. To describe this, I often say that I am telling stories about everything I do--and I mean this quite literally. More often than not, I will physically think of words to describe what I am doing, at any point in time. I can visual the words, like they are on a page. Perhaps, as we discussed a bit in Paul's lecture, this is why I consider myself a decent writer.
So, this separation of unconscious and conscious greatly intrigues me. The separation is often more one-sided though: the conscious gets the majority of the 'action' in social relations. Should the unconscious have its time to come forward? When is that appropriate time?
