Today's conversation was very well thought out and it flowed together.  Wil was able to get my conscious to relate to my unconscious through the various inquiry activities.  I was able to understand why, when I see, smell, or taste something, it sometimes relates to past memories.  If I smell lavender this experience takes me to a peaceful place.  I/my unconscious sees this smell as relaxing and pleasant.  Even for a not so favorite smell, like a rotten egg smell; I think of when I had to put a lot of garbage out when I was younger that was moldy and stinky, I go back to an unpleasant time.   I especially like how Wil set the stage by giving us a short story to read about, one man's interpretation of how the interacting of the conscious and unconscious works for similar experiences within him.  This will be a great inquiry activity which will start a conversation on differences and similarities that all people have using the senses and past/present experiences.  I enjoyed the review of the tongue because it related what I just read to the activity of how I taste.  My taste is a combination of smell, background information, taste and most of all my unconscious creating a story that brings it all together with my conscious.   Bon appetit!, Wil, I truely enjoyed the meal you prepared for my conscious and unconscious!
