The power of consciousness

Man, as a person, it is a multi-component education. The classical scheme of our personality is constructed of four components. The unconscious, the subconscious, consciousness and super consciousness. So what is the difference between all of these constructs, and whether there are among them one that we can call the "main" or a priority in our existence?

Unconscious. One component, which we just have to focus in the years of puberty. That it includes the skills, actions or habits, which we do not spend attention. The most striking examples are: foreign languages, ability to drive, exercise ... What we do on the machine without using the attention of the brain. Our bodies function at this level. We do not think you need to cut the heart, cause the stomach to develop a juice or spread light on inspiration. We do it unconsciously. But there is a caveat. Consciously - we can affect the performance of organs. We can make the heart beat faster, can control pain, control the body. But we do not do it all the time.

The subconscious - our desires, lived experience, the impression that we are afraid, or afraid to admit that they want. That could be accomplished in principle, but it is frowned upon in society. Murder, rape, violent behavior - all the things that got us from the animals. What we have to hide. Our so-called "dark side." It also includes and fears of failure, shameful deeds. All that the brain has experienced and survived, but he chose to hide that it would not harm the psyche. At certain times or situations, the accumulated "baggage" can break out and confuse us. In night dreams, unexpected situations, places, or similar events. What is more destructive than constructive, and there our subconscious.

Beyond consciousness - purely human quality. No animal could it create and use to the fullest. The nobility, honor, morality, conscience, altruism - and the list is long. That "spirit" that makes us act against its interests, galloping run. The ability to donate a pardon, help someone to the detriment of themselves. That is responsible for what in excess of consciousness.

Consciousness. Perhaps what I call the person, the person is. Think about it, a person can be very different fears, high motivation and established skills. But it is the ability to use them, determines his actions. In classical psychology of Freud (called ego) consciousness plays role secret desires within a framework that puts society. That management, which allows receiving pleasure, no matter that surrounds us.

Most of his life, Freud believed that it determines the identity of the person unconscious. But shortly before his death, he abandoned this theory, giving the crown Consciousness. We can experience a lot of temptations, desires and aspirations. We can speak five languages ​​and be a wonderful speaker. We can move the lofty ideals and aspirations. But we always have to make a conscious choice. And thanks to him, we become who we are.
