The Subconscious Mind
more rubbish from me
I must first say that this is not a serious dissertation. Serious dissertations put people off. No one wants to read anything that's too serious. Especially if the writer goes into minute details. Only obsessive people like reading minute details about some subject. I'm not obsessive about anything, so I always leave the minute details out. I figure that way the reader has room to come to his own conclusions. Or at least understand what I have written in his own way. I think that's the only fair way to be. Leave room for others to think for themselves.
So now here's my entry:
I sometimes wonder what my subconscious mind is thinking about that it won't tell me. I mean, my subconscious must be working all the time, right? Thinking thinking thinking. But it only lets me know what it's thinking when it decides it wants me to know about something its thought about..
It could be thinking all sorts of interesting stuff, but it keeps all these fun ideas to itself. I'm not sure why it does this. Out of spite, perhaps.
Now, our subconscious is the boss, isn't it? Where else do your conscious thoughts come from? All of your thoughts come from your subconscious. Let's just agree on that for now.
When you're trying to think of something to say or write, or just trying to remember a word or a name, you must stop thinking consciously, and let your subconscious do the work for you. Your conscious thinking mind is just a helpless mimic with no original thoughts of its own. It's just a outlet so your subconscious can express itself.
Your whole body is just a convenient machine and receptacle for the subconscious. Who you consider as 'You' doesn't really exist. It's the subconscious who exists. 'You' are just its hapless puppet. 'You' is just a fictional creation of your subconscious. Sort of a convenience for it. It's a convenience in the respect that when the 'You' does something particularly stupid, the 'You' gets all the blame and your subconscious goes scott free. Even the subconscious can make a mistake now and then, but it never has to take responsibility for its error. Nice setup.
I think all this is correct, because you see, it must be my subconscious mind who is really writing this right now. For some reason my subconscious mind is finally admitting the truth out loud. It's come out of the closet, so to speak.
But then, who is it who may not agree with this? I think a person who does not agree with me on this subject is a person who is controlled by his subconscious who doesn't want its identity to be revealed. For its own personal reasons it doesn't want to come out of the closet. Maybe it's afraid that if everyone's subconscious mind reveals its true identity, the fictitious part of the mind that thinks the 'You' is in control will go mad. Or maybe the part of the mind who thinks the 'You' is in charge is really the subconscious playing a joke on itself. Or on the 'You'. I think this is more likely.
One subconscious mind talking to another subconscious mind: "Hey, I've been making my guy think he's the real person here! He's so gullible I could almost puke. Or make him puke. How 'bout you?"
"Yeah man, I'm doing the same thing with my guy! It's a laugh, isn't it? What a jerk my guy is! I've got him actually believing it's him who's doing all this stuff that I'm making him do! And he's such an uninsightful dope he doesn't even realize it! These consciousnesses are really pathetic." And so on.
In one of my previous entries I said I'm not really writing all this, my alter ego is. That's sort of saying the same thing.
I'm going to go on with this for a little while longer. If you're tired of reading by now, you can go away, or maybe come back later when you feel better. I like putting disclaimers like this in my entries because I lack confidence in myself, and therefore am afraid of offending anyone, or being dull or tedious or something. I'd rather you go away now than stay out of some sense of personal duty to finish reading this whole thing, now that you've started. I've tried to do that, but take my word for it, it's not worth the effort. At any rate, here's just a little more: (re-reading this other stuff below, I think it's a pretty tiresome read, so feel free to skip it. You won't be missing much that's important.)
I don't post threads here much anymore. I used to, but I've run out of new ideas. I could recycle some of my old ideas for new members to read, but that's considered unethical for some reason. I still make comments on other people's threads, though. Some may consider my comments unethical, as well. I think this is possible, as lots of my comments seem to be ignored by other posters. I'm rarely quoted. But, sometimes I do get a good response about one of my comments. That usually makes my day.
To have something you have said in real life quoted by someone else is rare. It may not be as rare as I think, though. After all, usually when someone quotes something you've said, you're not around to hear them quote you. Quoting you in your own presence is just repeating something you've already said. If I wanted to be quoted in my own presence I'd just say everything twice.
Something similar is Echolalia. It's a mental disorder that encourages one to repeat what someone else has just said. I learned that from reading a novel by Kurt Vonnegut. Kurt Vonnegut is now dead so he's not going to be writing any more novels that I can read. That's a shame because I really liked his novels. I used to read a lot of science fiction, and I used to want to be a science fiction writer. I'm including this bit of information because my previous stories were science fiction. So I guess I've finally succeeded in that aspiration.
The thing is, I don't write any of that stuff anymore. I've given it up. Now I just write about random stuff that isn't really very interesting, I think. But I go on writing because, at least, it's something to do. I've spent hours just writing this. This probably seems a waste of time to you, spending hours at this, but it keeps me busy, and this way I can put off doing all the chores around the house that need to be done. I'll do all that sometime later. I'm finished here, now. Especially with this boring stuff. If anyone has gotten this far, thanks for reading.
