One's learning experiences, the beliefs that they hold, the questions that they ask, and how they relate facts enable them to perceive things that others do not. I have found that when I put my thoughts out there to which others react and encourage them to share their thoughts with me, I become aware of things of which I might not otherwise be aware. I am awed by the creative process of writing. Many times I have no idea of where some thoughts or wordsmithing originate. The deep thinking of the subconscious memory is yet a mystery. Some think more freely than others.
I offer the following for your comments:
We have conscious and subconscious memories. Conscious memory is populated by one’s rational thinking. Subconscious memory is populated by everything that one senses, e.g., hears, sees, smells, tastes, touches, feels, discomfort and pain. One is born with the ability to think deeply and reason inductively and have feelings, a duality of pleasure and anxiety. We innately seek pleasure and avoid anxiety. We manage discomfort/pain. Intuition and creativity are a consequence of deep thinking. Predilections are a consequence of one’s more strongly felt feelings. Their relative strengths are established during conception, i.e., by their genome. Soon after birth, one begins populating their subconscious memory. Learning begins with nursing where the newborn experiences pleasure and causality, i.e., the reduction of anxiety and the physical discomfort/pain of hunger. One acquires gender traits from their early experiences. Upon self-recognition, one becomes self-centered, developing a sense of self. One is subsequently taught empathy and compassion.
