Are the mystical and the consilent part of the same process or are they different processes? Assuming they are part of the same path (the preconscious being a rapid synthesis of sensory, emotional, nonlinear inputs that give rise to image that then rise to the level of insight/inspiration), one area to explore are what are the tollgates on that road? For example, one difference that Pam brings up between artist vs. engineer may be in the filter or the acceptance of the input from the preconscious to the conscious. Here, trust may be one of the tollgates ["I recognize it but don't credit it"]. Asking what is trust and how is trust developed/blocked may (or may not) be a constructive question. Another tollgate might be receptiveness ["I don't recognize the message sent from the preconscious as a message"]- do some people have a greater ability to "convert" the preconscious input into the conscious? (The caveat on all this is I am a researcher/theologian and not an engineer; please forgive me if this pov is an oversimplification.)dorhttp://www.ddeasy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688599.post-23101494224739493512007-05-09T11:02:00.000-07:002007-05-09T11:02:00.000-07:00I think you two should take this on the road. P: W...I think you two should take this on the road. P: What really prompts this exploration into capacity? We've been chasing the phantom home of consciousness forever, but "capacity--" now that is another thing. Tell me you are not trying to nail down capacity to then mine it for uses in technological "advance."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
