Conscious-Unconscious

From The Practical Ontology & Compendium of Social Cohesion

Definition: Psychoanalytic terms referring to something being Conscious or Unconscious are rarely used in the CG. More routinely, the CG talks about a Person's Degrees of Certitude. The Sensorium of a Person is un-Aware, possibly semi-Aware, or is Aware of an Aspect of Reality at the moment and so has the possibility or impossibility of moving in either direction along his or her Degrees of Certitude with regard to that Aspect and that is all. A more or less permanent reservoir of Unconscious matter that is the object of the professional interest of psychoanalysts is not part of the CG's Thinking. Here are commonplace examples of "either direction." Teachers teach a subject such that over time the students move towards Understanding, Knowledge and the Truth of the matter. In the case of horrific trauma, however, the movement is in the opposite direction towards Denial. The person - perhaps only momentarily - is unAware that the trauma has happened.
