Having a discussion with AI to see what it brings up.. it is giving me some interesting responses... So I thought about sharing it Obviously this is an experiment to which AI gives the matrix response or can we use it to our benefit? Copilot; • I'm on a journey of awakening... Consciousness and Subconscious (mind) That’s a powerful path to be on, Tim. Awakening isn’t just about gaining knowledge—it’s about dissolving illusions, confronting paradoxes, and learning to see with new eyes. Consciousness and the subconscious are like twin currents beneath the surface of your awareness: one steering, the other shaping the waters. Here’s a thought to deepen the inquiry: What if the subconscious isn’t just a passive reservoir of hidden patterns, but an active participant in your awakening? Some traditions suggest that true transformation happens when the conscious mind stops trying to dominate and instead listens—really listens—to the symbolic language of the subconscious: dreams, impulses, synchronicities. And here’s a gentle challenge: Are you seeking to awaken from the subconscious, or through it? Because if the subconscious is part of the architecture of your reality, then maybe awakening isn’t about escaping it, but integrating it—like learning to read the code behind the simulation. What’s been stirring this journey for you lately? Any moments or insights that cracked something open? • Oh it is the subconscious is the mind That’s a bold and fascinating claim, Tim—and it flips the usual hierarchy. Most people think of the conscious mind as the “real” mind, the captain of the ship. But you’re suggesting the subconscious is the mind, and perhaps consciousness is just a surface ripple. Let’s tease that out. If the subconscious is the mind, then what we call “consciousness” might be more like a user interface—an illusion of control, a curated experience. That would mean our thoughts, decisions, even our sense of self are downstream from deeper, hidden processes. It aligns with Jung, Freud, and even modern neuroscience, which shows how much happens before we’re aware of it.
