Talking about "subconscious", could someone offer me some examples to clarify what "to reignite something at one's subconscious level" means ? Why is it subconscious not conscious though ?
Subconscious, bottom-up, automatic mind is a leftover of primal behavior , often related to the ability to survive. Conscious, top-down mental level is more deliberate and thoughtful, more recent evolution-wise. But I don't know if this gives an answer to your question. Examples of subconscious mind: breathing, digesting, the management of bodily functions. Top-down: reflection, thoughtfulness.Silicon Waffle said:Talking about "subconscious", could someone offer me some examples to clarify what "to reignite something at one's subconscious level" means ?

IOW , there are triggers to your behavior that you (meaning people in general) may not be aware of, but someone else may notice. This may happen with advertisers, marketers, politicians, people in general.Silicon Waffle said:Talking about "subconscious", could someone offer me some examples to clarify what "to reignite something at one's subconscious level" means ?

We would need to see the original text to see the context.Silicon Waffle said:Talking about "subconscious", could someone offer me some examples to clarify what "to reignite something at one's subconscious level" means ? Why is it subconscious not conscious though ?
There is nothing like bad syntax to mess up good context.Sophia said:as that phrase could mean anything depending on context.
Reflexes reignite (or trigger) your body movements at a subconscious level. When you get hit many times you sort of develop this sense of 'something is coming' and you move sort of unconsciously. Not completely unconsciously, but somewhat.Silicon Waffle said:Talking about "subconscious", could someone offer me some examples to clarify what "to reignite something at one's subconscious level" means ?

True, but it has recently been studied scientifically, using, e.g., recent research on the brain. There is a nice book out by L. Mlodinow , titled precisely " Subconscious"Sophia said:We would need to see the original text to see the context.
Subconscious usually refers to things that Freud wrote about.

I heard it on a TV documentary show.Sophia said:...
To reignite means to catch fire again. So I understand that something causes certain emotions or reactions in you, but you don't know why you feel or act in such a way...
I also find he has not been so active as he used to during these days. Maybe he is celebrating Lunar New Year with his family (I still prefer Lunar to Chinese but the latter seems to be more commonly used even to Northern American people, which is really a sad thing to me )Psinter said:I am waiting for another @zoobyshoe story.
From now on, I will only use the term Lunar. It never came to my mind that other Asian nations celebrate it too (like, I knew it but never thought about it much ) so calling it only Chinese is insufficient :)Silicon Waffle said:I also find he has not been so active as he used to during these days.

Oh, Lunar. I wasn't aware of that name. I've always wanted to play this game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong#Old_Hong_Kong_mahjongSilicon Waffle said:Maybe he is celebrating Lunar New Year with his family (I still prefer Lunar to Chinese but the latter seems to be more commonly used even to Northern American people, which is really a sad thing to me )
Hello. I am preoccupied trying to organize things a bit better in real life here. I've been reading posts, though.Psinter said:zoobyyyyyyyyyyy! Hi.

Yes, sorry, the book's title is Subliminal. It is nice in that it is based on actual brain research and generally science-based.zoobyshoe said:Are you referring to the book,

I can't find a book by him entitled "precisely" Subconscious.
Every single supermarket is arranged that way.WWGD said:IOW , there are triggers to your behavior that you (meaning people in general) may not be aware of, but someone else may notice. This may happen with advertisers, marketers, politicians, people in general.
How surprising for me to learn that Slovakian people also use the Lunar one!Sophia said:Was walking with my dog and thinking about lunar/solar/other holidays. And I remembered that actually we have a holiday connected to the lunar calendar this week as well. It's tomorrow and is called Ash Wednesday https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Wednesday
It's 40 days before Easter which is first Sunday after full moon after spring equinox. Sounds kinda complicated if put like this :D

Awesome!
I see. It is just extraordinarily normal.
Not to forget the big party to the december solstice all of us celtic, germanic and slavic tribes used to celebrate for centuries!Sophia said:Actually, this is almost universal Christian tradition. It has roots in Jewish customs.
For what it's worth, I know many people from all over Asia: Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, etc. (and of course, China too). And they all call it "Chinese New Year." So I don't think it's a big deal (even among peoples of non-Chinese, Asian countries who celebrate the holiday).Silicon Waffle said:(I still prefer Lunar to Chinese but the latter seems to be more commonly used even to Northern American people, which is really a sad thing to me )
And don't forget Mardi Gras/Carnival, by extension. That's today, by the way. Happy Mardi Gras!Sophia said:Was walking with my dog and thinking about lunar/solar/other holidays.

? Chinese calendar is a Lunar calendar. New year starts at the first new moon after something , not sure what.Silicon Waffle said:I also find he has not been so active as he used to during these days.

2nd new moon after December solstice!WWGD said:? Chinese calendar is a Lunar calendar. New year starts at the first new moon after something , not sure what.
This reminds me of the great triple conjunction of 2008collinsmark said:And don't forget Mardi Gras/Carnival, by extension. That's today, by the way. Happy Mardi Gras!
Is there some special meaning attached to this second new moon?fresh_42 said:2nd new moon after December solstice!
A sign of getting old WWGD, I have also started spelling phonetically and I used to win spelling bees.WWGD said:For some strange reason, I have been misspelling words I had never misspelled, like fare instead of fair, etc
I don't know, I just started a new job and have a business on the side, together with full time school. That may be a better explanation: I am exhausted.Evo said:A sign of getting old WWGD, I have also started spelling phonetically and I used to win spelling bees.
