What is the spiritual unconsciousness, how would you personally define it?

Define Unconsciousness

Spiritual unconsciousness is the original state of the living entity. I our present material condition, this spiritual unconsciousness is sleeping or covered by the material energy. Therefore the material energy is telling us: "I am superior, I am real, you are just matter, you are just chemicals compositions, spiritual consciousness is brainwashed, a myth. I am (material energy) the real thing, ect."

But when our spiritual unconsciousness is awakened, we experience real life and real happiness. No illusory life based in home, societey, frienship and so called love.

Philosophy is a vast subject. It is a tough, difficult and confusing subject. Without the help of a proper guide, it is difficult for us to learn and enjoy the true philosophic theories. It also requires divine grace.

Quote:

People feel helpless in situations that are beyond their control. This includes illness, disability and a wide variety of life challenges.

In addition to feeling they cannot change situations, people feel powerless to change themselves, since they trace their behavior to instincts in the unconscious, and what is unconscious, they presume, must be more powerful than they are.

Traditionally, psychology strove to uncover unconscious processes of the instincts, but it turned out that understanding their behavior didn’t make people any better at changing it.

Instincts are not all that is unconscious in a person. Spirituality can be unconscious as well. Freud overlooked this.

Psychology never set out to uncover unconscious human spirituality the way it tried to uncover instinctual processes.

In part, this is because psychology did not recognize human spirituality as something worth revealing. Psychology also believed spirituality belonged only to the religious domain.

But Frankl with his spiritual approach called logotherapy was not all that interested in uncovering unconscious spirituality either.

It didn’t much matter to him whether spirituality was conscious or unconscious. My guess as to why this distinction was not important to him is because unconscious instincts tend to compromise one’s self-interests, whereas unconscious spirituality is a positive force, even if it remains unconscious.

The truly critical distinction is not between the conscious and unconscious but between the spiritual and the instinctual.

While the border between unconscious and conscious is fluid, with awareness sometimes moving back and forth between them, a sharp line has to be drawn between the spiritual and instinctual.

Instincts belong to somatic and psychic “facts.” These are the “givens” of fate, the raw material of tendencies we’re born with or learned early on.

In contrast, spirituality belongs to what Frankl calls “existence.”

That is, human existence, which is characterized by freedom and responsibility, is essentially spiritual.

Spiritual existence is the source of one’s power to change in spite of instincts that militate against change.

Freedom and responsibility, not the acceptance of “facts” as fate, marks authentic humanness.

Therefore, it is of much greater therapeutic import to discover the freedom and responsibility hidden in the spiritual unconscious than it is to uncover tendencies lurking in the instinctual unconscious.

Kainda like fashion. Everyones got theirs. And i have no idea what unconsciousness is.

I would call those who live like robots, going through the motions, living their lives. Unconscious to their own spiritual side.

Nothing much comes to mind. I guess it sounds like a state of mind in which a person is not in touch with his/her spiritual side. To such a person the earth would be just so much rocks, dirt - no spiritual places, no sacred mountains, no wind spirits or water spirits. The animals and plants would be just beasts and foliage with no mystical significance. The dead would have no voice. Demons, and angels would have no influence.

Basically it is me, like anyone, just going along but not really thinking beyond anything more than my immediate world. Whatever spirit there is in that can be found within the heart and mind of those who, like me, are sort of numb to anything over a sixth grade level of comprehension. Thus whatever spirit there is in that, it still manages to help me enough to pay my bills. But not worth much more than that.

well its complex i learned in psychology we act upon impulse in our unconscious

Nap time.
