Post Conscious

Symposium went well yesterday. Thank you for being there.

There is a piece of work written on post-conscious/supraconscious by J. B. Oates on the internet. I have never read it prior to my work and came across it yesterday. It is not the same as mine. I will produce an essay on the comparison and differences shortly.

The story of DV does not end in that state of confusion. Some of you have been baffled by the ‘pointlessness’ of my theory which should also make one wonder:

1. Why always think in terms of end goals rather than means?

2. The whole thing is designed to make you think (differently) and you’re already thinking … which is good. Hopefully differently.

There are no existing literature on this (so far I have searched) so if you want to read something now then I suggest you read: Nietzsche, Foucault, Frankl, Sartre, Camus, Dostoevsky. There are much more which are to me the foundations on what my thought was built upon. Recent recommendations (by my professor) which I haven’t looked into and thus don’t know if they are relevant to the post conscious also include Lyotard, Levinas and Derrida. You might also want to look at poets such as Rilke, Rumi and Chris (found on my links).

Have a good Sunday everybody.

Preparing for the symposium next week … going to talk about Post Conscious.

Mostly trying to get nothingness out of my head.

Oh, that could be DV up there.

I guess things will unfold.

http://www.summerhillschool.co.uk/ – interesting but discussed this for far too long in the seminar.

Plus a never ending discussion about education and therapy – in which they were ironically indulging in a therapy session themselves last night.

Had to put aside Illich for another day – you should see the expression of this person who read the whole book.

Tired and bored of the locally contextualized discussions which have become very eurocentric, western and British.
