____________Unconscious Perception and its Role in Behaviour________

Unconscious perception can be understood as a phenomena of how a stimulus can affect us, how the mind still perceives stimuli that can influence the observers' responses, attitudes and thoughts despite of not being consciously aware of them, cannot report or detect them.
There are many processes that are continuously going on in the body and brain of which we are unaware, for example the brain has to regulate heart rate or breathing or the release of required hormones when needed. These processes happen without our conscious awareness of them and are part of the homeostasis that keeps the body functioning at an optimum level.
Although the idea that unconscious processes are important elements in mental life is attributed to Freud, it was an old idea dating back to Leibniz the eighteenth century German philosopher who suggested that every moment is filled with an infinity of perceptions most of which go unnoticed and are not available to reflection.
At the close of the eighteenth century the philosopher Immanuel Kant wrote his Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View' in which he devoted a major section to the concept of ideas that we have without being conscious of them. Kant found it something of a contradiction that we had ideas that we were not conscious of at the time although we later became aware of them indirectly: our conscious perceptions are determined by unconscious inferences. The origin of our unconscious abilities lies inherently in the individual, a deep mostly hidden power within the individual psyche. The Unconscious always appears to accomplish things far more strikingly, and therewith far more quickly and more conveniently for the individual, since the conscious performance must be striven for, whereas the Unconscious comes of itself and without effort.

ah, you've finally come full circle...

Yes!

Hey, that was very intuitive of you!!!
Although it proves nothing. Logical deduction has lead me to this definition, i.e. "an unconscious learning mechanism". But, as I suspect, that's far from the ultimate finish! I'm trying to understand how it works, not just what its called! (although a precise definition tends to point to a certain direction).
The point is I discovered the notion on my own -- by sifting through a lot of matterial... (NOT because of your hint), although I appreciate your desire of helping. But on Wed 01/20/10 12:11 AM, when you send me the hint, I inerpreted that as just another riddle (plagiarized from somewhere), unconnected to the problem at hand.
(I thought you were offering me a left hand while I was seeking a rigth hand, LOL)

Nevertheless, thank you!

P.S. So, IS your intuition any better because your aware of what constitutes it?

Anyways, I'm greatful for your attempt of saving me a lot of effort...

. . . in fact, when I asked you to elaborate on that, you respectfully kept quiet... Thus, I've been left to my own devices...

Einstein is well known for his use of intuition, and he wrote about it also, and acknowledged that that was a very important part of his work. And mathematicians have appreciated the fact that intuition is the function that really breaks new ground, and that then logic and reason have to follow up on the intuition for proof and validation. But that creative leap is always an intuitive leap that enables us to see things that we haven't noticed before. It's a new perception. It's as though it allows us to notice what we haven't noticed and acknowledge what we perhaps already know but have forgotten in some way.
Intuitive knowing is sort of knowing from within. It's knowing by identification with, rather than gathering information about something. So there is that feeling of sort of merging with the object under observation, you might say. But it's more of a sense of knowing which comes from an inner knowing. It's a sense of inner knowing rather than something that you need to learn about.

________________ being intuitive is trusting yourself___________
Developing intuition also is inseparable from developing self-awareness. However, while some people are capable of automatic intuition, the majority of others have to meditate in order to get in touch with the inner mind This is why any spiritual discipline or practice that requires self-observation is helpful -- any meditation that enables you to develop concentration or quiet the mind. Many people find that their intuition really blossoms just as a sort of side effect of meditation, because once they start practicing concentration or emptying the mind, then they find that intuitive abilities just seem to be much more available.

Much of information we encounter we perceive on an unconscious level, i.e. without making conscious notes in our minds. But the unconscious mind not only perceives information but will process it for meaning.
Unconscious perception can be understood as a phenomena of how a stimulus can affect us, how the mind still perceives stimuli that can influence the observers' responses, attitudes and thoughts despite of not being consciously aware of them, cannot report or detect them.

Unconscious Perception does take time for trickling down (or up) into our conscious mind, while Intuition is instantanious * * * * * * * * * *

______________________INTRODUCTION_______________________
All of the cases of subliminal intuition, telepathy, premonitions, etc. indicate that we're, in fact, tapping in to what many researchers believe is a shared consciousness - or superconsciousness - that connects all people... perhaps all living things? These are no longer just "New Age" concepts, but are subjects of serious speculation and research by a growing number of mainstream scientists in the fields of quantum theory, psychology and other disciplines. The idea that extrasensory perception (ESP) and related psi abilities are quite real (if difficult to measure) phenomena is gaining respectability.
Those who research ESP suspect that most if not all people have this remarkable ability to varying degrees. The ability is often likened to that of musical talent. Some people are naturally gifted with the ability to play and compose music, and practice makes them virtuosos. Others must learn and work and practice to be able to play an instrument even adequately or in the simplest way. But nearly everyone can learn to play to some degree. The same may hold true for psychic abilities.

In preparation for learning the technique, it would be quite helpful, if you could, first of all, acknowledge that ESP exists and that it is present within you to develop. Although this might sound silly, begin by telling yourself that you are psychic. Make it a mantra that you repeat to yourself daily and often. This kind of self-talk has a scientific basis. It is now known that when a person learns something - whether it's a physical skill like wood carving or a mental exercise like memorizing poetry - through repetition, his or her brain physically changes - "rewires" itself, if you will - to accommodate that task. This process of rewiring your brain for psychic ability begins with your belief in it.* * * * * *
It might take time for the subconscious to be able to communicate with the conscious mind, and the best way to do this is to simply start thinking about it: become involved in it, read books and magazines, and look for more information on the Internet,etc. Adopt the attitude you would take with a new hobby. !
Also, as with learning any new skill -- playing piano, or violine -- it takes lots of diligent practice. You may grow impatient and frustrated, but the key to success is to not give up -- persistance is the key to success!
As a practice, when the phone rings, pause a few seconds before answering: Can you tell who it is? Try it when someone knocks at your front door. Try it at work. Can you tell when someone is happy, sad or preoccupied?"
We're overloaded with sensory information -- sight, auditory, smell, taste, etc. -- like an orchestra that doesn't play in unison -- and our brain, like a conductor, is trying to arrange all of that multitude of stimuli into the plausible harmony (i.e. response). Certainly, sifting through all of that mess, requires quite a concentration -- as one of the authors expressed it, "The type of concentration that calls for you to ignore the crowd at a football stadium in the middle of a touchdown, and be able to clearly recall a passage of a book, a face of a friend or a situation".*
Each individual is sending and receiving thoughts from inside of his/er mind. Imagine that all the radio stations are broadcast at the same time into one single frequency on your radio receiver and you will get an idea of what is going in your mind at any point in time. Now imagine that you are able to focus your tuner to receive just one radio broadcast." (I have and immediately got enlightened: now I can clearly see a bleek light at the end of the long tunnel!!!)
However, you might be amazed at how exercising your mind in intuitive (or psychic) abilities would improve your abilities in making sence of all of that disparity of "sounds".

every time i use it, it's been right. no exceptions.

******** AMAZING!!! Congratulations... Do you have a natural or a developed ability? ? ?

http://www.wikihow.com/Perform-Self-Hypnosis

we all do, but mine came more clear after getting out of body in 1993, totally awake, and then a veil or something was lifted. weird. other things happened as well.

Strange, why does the veil get lifted only after an out-of-body or a near death experiences??? (I had one 20 years ago!)

I imagine he knows the answer -- Mr.Schitt -- Love it!

The thing that hinders our natural affinity towards Intuition is this insane need to label everything, somethings are not ment to be understood just felt. Free and naturally flowing.

___ ___
Abslutely agreed!

Unfortunately, such is the human nature:
Awareness precedes the feeling!
Otherwise we have no way of understanding what it is we're experiencing!!! (i.e. if its not stored in our knowledge base before the fact).
Thus, labels are unavoidable during the process of building the knowledge base.

Re: Perform Self-Hypnosis:

You have a real talent for Misinterpretation!!! -- confusing intuition/ESP with Self-hypnosis???

First of all, the latter is quite intensive -- requires lots of training and special conditions...

Second of all, that is very time-consumming!!!

(While Intuition is istantaneous!!!)

That's like reading newspaper to find out the news and being awared of the news without even turning a single page!

thanks, yeah schitt's king.....it weeds out all the bs.

to answer your question to the best of my limited knowledge, you have entered local 2, and just being aware that it exists, opens doors to more vibrations, as that what keeps us from seeing through that veil anyway. that veil is like a water curtain from air, and that's why it's more fuzzy in the first place. It becomes more accessable during certain times of the year, dealing with gravitational pulls and tides, as we are of water and electricity, your vibrational state becomes more diverse, and more under your control if you practice.


this is also why at lower vibrational states, it sounds like a jack-hammer of sorts when some of you first get out of body. you are over-riding your body's natural vibrational setting,....kinda like if you try to keep in tune with a vaccumn cleaners sound with your own voice, it'll vibrate at certain pitches when you overlap it's tone and drop or rise the sound scale...

this is what i've observed.....

If I understand you correctly, you mean we begin perceiving many other pitches of vibrations that have previously been disregarded? (like being more in tune with those vibrations?)

No wonder I can perceive when somebody "sings out of tune"!!!

Painful life experiences can create states of anxiety, anger or depression. These states, when unresolved, can often leave one feeling overwhelmed because the mind as well as the body becomes a storehouse of old traumas or circumstances. These are then translated into deeply-held core beliefs which, while the process is largely unconscious, may manifest in less than positive outcomes in one's life. In turn, these unresolved experiences can manifest as less than positive symptoms, disease, etc.


(assuming, of course, the patience would be wise enough to visit their Doctors even before developing any symptoms!)

Just as muscles become stronger and bigger when they work against resistance, so our minds and spirits enlarge by meeting the difficulties life presents. Have you discovered that you must be quiet or still to hear the intuitive voice which can get lost in the hustle and confusion of life?
Intuition is the highly popularized theological "still small voice of God" or "Holy Spirit" speaking. Intuition is "knowing" that comes from the spirit within. Intuition is light and inspiration which lifts you up in consciousness and guides you in your choice of that which is right and good. Intuition can manifest as an idea, impression, inspiration, feeling, or sense of well-being.. Intuition is the indwelling spirit of "God" seeking to "voice" itself through you by speaking in tones of love, wisdom, faith, life, and power. This intuitive mind or spirit clearly reveals the higher wisdom or deeper intelligence to your consciousness, bringing new truths and creative insights. In troublesome situations when we question "why me?" or "why this unpleasant situation?" it helps to know that the intuitive mind or spirit within will reveal what it is you need to learn through this experience.

Using your intuition to tap into your spiritual roots is essential when that dispirited sense creates stress and makes you feel like you have nothing to live for. Or, for the times when you lapse into a "why bother" attitude because you will always confront failure. Or, even to help you realize that the down times you may experience are but a brief ripple upon the sea of life. By strengthening your spiritual beliefs, you will realize that it takes rain and sunshine to make a rainbow.
___________________________ After all:
Among the most difficult yet tantalizing anomalies confronting science today are those usually called "psychic" or "psi" phenomena. Laboratory evidence strongly suggests that these well-confirmed but enigmatic phenomena are due to real physical effects which are as yet poorly understood.
Thus, there's no use in waiting for science permitting our capabilities!
