ON MAKING THE UNCONSCIOUS; CONSCIOUS: THE ROLE OF THE PRE-CONSCIOUS.
The so-called 'pre-conscious' (mind) is the 'BRIDGE of REASON' located between the 'un-conscious mind'; and the 'conscious mind.' It is an inter-face; a variable inter-face. And, as we already know, every 'interface' without exception has two sides. In this case an 'inner-most' and an 'outer-most.'
The 'point of meeting' is also the 'balance point' between the two sides. In the inter-human world, this is the ultimate inter-face; (or 'divide') - the ultimate 'boundary' between 'self' and 'other.'
When I speak of 'self' and 'other' in this 'inter-human' context, I am not only referring to 'inter-personal' dynamics, but also, the whole world, or 'field' of 'THE OTHER.' That is to say, whatever is perceived to be 'OTHER' than SELF. This could extend from the everyday distinction one makes between ones own body (skin of fingers and hand, e.g.); and the sharp edge of a knife that one is using to cut up vegetables or meat, etc. - to the distinction that one makes between what are perceived to be 'healthy' body cells; and what are perceived to be 'unhealthy' (diseased) cancerous cells - which are ordinarily perceived to be 'invading' ones very own body-self! Indeed, this is a pretty wide field! However, the really important (crucial) point is - where, how and why we make these distinctions.
In fact, it is such a broad field, that it is indeed necessary to take it a little bit at a time, as it were. Or, to put it another way, it is indeed necessary to view the TOTAL SITUATION, from a number of angles; and propose a number of qualitatively different LEVELS, of what is ultimately a global UNITY of some kind.
It would seem that I have diverged somewhat from my original intention of depicting as accurately as possible in essentially 'structural' terms, a specific 'location' or 'region' of the 'total mind.'

The VIEL of The Un-Conscious Mind
It is the VIEL of The 'Un-Conscious Mind' that CREATES (Human) Un-Consciousness! That is, The (limited) Human Consciousness is really speaking, an Obscured Consciousness!
To further elaborate, The Free-Functioning of our Consciousness is impeded by the operation of Experiential Mind-Impressions; The Impressions of previous experience - experienced through countless human forms (as well as so-called 'sub-human' forms). These 'nemic-residues' of ONCE Conscious; That is to say, Previously Conscious Experience - actually determine the PRESENT LIFE functioning of our Human Consciousness!
Therefore, Un-Consciousness is only ever an obscured consciousness. (note:1/11/2000).
That is to say, 'Consciousness Itself' as manifested in human beings, on this Earth, is really speaking, God's VERY OWN Consciousness - focussed through the so-called 'Human Mind' - which is in itself, nothing but the aggregate (accretion) of ALL 'E.M.I.'s' (Experiential Mind Impressions) of which the 'human mind' is constituted.

SACRED SEX
SEX IS SACRED TO ME; as SACRED as THIS 'Knowledge Tree' - That is ONE, and Stands Alone in The GARDEN of PURE, and INNOCENT LOVE!

The Two Fundamental Directions: INSIDE-OUT;OUTSIDE-IN.
EX-PRESS-ION (expression) or, the 'drawing out' of consciousness - (together with 'Mind-Impressions'); is the very opposite PROCESS to that of RE-PRESS-ION, of 'Experiential-Mind-Impressions' -(sanskaras, in Vedanta Philosophy); together with GOD's Very Own Consciousness!
That is, EX-PRESSION is a movement (of 'impressioned consciousness' - (i.e. 'consciousness plus impressions'), in the direction of INSIDE-OUT; ('projection') whereas, RE-PRESSION is a movement, or, 'displacement' in the direction of OUTSIDE-IN ('introjection').
However, in order to 'draw out' the latent consciousness; and to maximise the FREE FUNCTIONING of consciousness, we must, of necessity, work with, and through, the pre-existing, innate structures of the human mind; as 'Consciousness Itself' manifests (works through) the MEDIUM of the human mind.
Therefore, in order to 'free-up'; 'liberate', 'emancipate' our (human) consciousness, we have to work within the parameters set by (pre-existing) LAWS inherent in the very 'make-up' (structure) of the MIND Itself.
This is the essential psycho-therapeutic task: - of 'making the unconscious; conscious.' This WORK involves firstly, the PROCESS, of overcoming the inevitable RESISTANCE - precisely to 'making the unconscioius conscious.'
The resistance in this case, as in ALL cases, is offered by the conscious 'Mind-Ego' in relation to the unconscious 'Mind-Ego.' In ALL cases, it is the the conscious Mind-Ego that instigates REPRESSION.
It is an interesting FACT that
