An "unconscious response" is referring to the deep "psyche" so I confused to what the choices are here.

I my view the rare slip of the tongue is not as important as noticing peoples predispositions.


Jung’s concept of the archetype is IMNSHO, I hate when people say "IMHO"
when it anything but. Anyway these concept of the archetype should be the core of modern psychology.
These unconscious images form around adolescents and can become the organizers of the of the still malleable unformed mind. These archetypal images born from childhood and adolescent experiences can lead to adventures of discovery, rewarding relationships or cycles of negative feedback of memory-perception that lead to neuroses.

I can see that in our culture that our initial programming is not forming from family relationships experiences as much as it should. New generations are letting the programs
from mass media or political/religious idealisms, and even outdated scientific models that our all intended as guides not program's. The mind should keep open to new information and experiences, but so many waste conscious energy exempting to insist to others the world is this way or that way instead of seeing the world is any way you choice to see it.

Without numinosity things and other persons remain mere images to the individual because there is no psychic energy exchanged; that is, the individual feel no emotional attachment. The lack of numinosity in many lives of contemporary society is the result of the scientific understanding of things. Currently most things, including people, are described in scientific terms, which have dehumanized the individual.

One of the products of this dehumanization process has been the elimination of connections, particularly instinctual connections, between persons and things. A majority of the civilized world has started regarding things, even animals and plants, as possessions or objects. Little, if any, thought or feeling is given to the existence of these things or objects. This feeling of carelessness has become so persuasive that it has spilt over into man's relationships with his fellow human beings.

Although many feel they have lost something within their lives, they do not know the exact nature of their lost. Increasingly more people are recognizing that they are losing spirituality in their lives, and this is the reason for their dehumanization. Their recognition was not aided by their orthodox spiritual leaders, those who were more interested in maintaining their institutions than the sacred meaning that they stood for, but by probing deeply within themselves with the help of others who also came to this recognition.


You can observe this time an time again on this site. Some will read something and misinterpret the meaning because they are predisposed to a certain models of thinking or paradigms that they have boxed themselves into. Sometimes it really amazes me how bad it can be. I tend to learn the “accepted paradigms” of thinking then use a cross disciplinary approach whether it be personal relationships or a philosophical discussion on the collective subconscious.

Many think such times of enchantments are gone forever, and the sad part is that many do not care. They apparently seem satisfied with their scientific and sophisticated attitudes. Many classify and explain everything in cold calculated terms and feel mastery within their separate selves. Still, at times, they seem to question what is wrong with the world.

Others who have studied the ancient ways and helped to give birth to them again will gladly tell these people what the wrong is. They would tell them that the world is still mystical. The people who have returned to, or revived, the ancient ways would say that there is still a strong, emotional bound between Nature and her children. These people have rediscovered the sacred rituals, secret formulas, and many others things that once came out of the primeval forest to give life to the world. Simply, when mystical ties compose is the numinosity between the world, its parts, and the individual, all things become inclusive and alive. A.G.H.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
