And that lack of same consciousness will allow unnecesssary stimulation by the imagination. betty- I’m sure you would agree that conscious awareness of one’s present situation can intercept the stimulation of the nervous response.

There are books written on this subject, many under the heading "psycho-cybernetics" which is a technique for using your subconscious power. Thank you for reminding me of those books which I read a few years ago and benefitted from. There are many paths to the same goal.

I often think of falling into the abyss to find my ground. I checked Perls out on Wiki and found his "Gestalt Prayer". Sums up modern individualism. I do my thing and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, And you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful. If not, it can't be helped. I like your idea of thought being a receptor of larger ideas of group consciousness. But as you imply, the problem is prejudice and other inhibitors to a clear "signal". Thanks for your always intriguing thoughts. David Brad- Interesting Perls quote. I often think of falling into the abyss to find my ground. I checked Perls out on Wiki and found his “Gestalt Prayer”.

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful.
If not, it can’t be helped.

I like your idea of thought being a receptor of larger ideas of group consciousness. But as you imply, the problem is prejudice and other inhibitors to a clear “signal”.

Thanks for your always intriguing thoughts.
