Inception: Conscious and Unconscious
We settled in our seats to watch a film we knew nothing about except that the movie was getting strong positive reviews. That was my last independent thought as the film progressed at lightning speed. I will leave the story line and special effects for you to enjoy as I did without advanced notice. What I want to discuss is the enormous feeling of deja vue I felt exiting the theatre. The screenplay delved into the relationship between the conscious and unconscious brain. There were vivid examples of the brain as a "constructor." There were "shared differences to create new possibilities working individually and collectively." The brains were "always exploring unless inhibited." They were "trying out things together with interactions and conversations" that created "new possibilities and constructions." The quotes surround phrases that I copied from the conversations among Paul and the members of our group during Session 9. The film, Inception, was a visualization of Friday's conversation and summaries offered by Paul. It was the perfect way to follow up and extend Friday morning's discussion.
