This no doubt has lead me to experiment with ignoring peoples faces and eyes.How does this connect with the fourth way.In this attempt at forced alienation I have found myself more aware of my reactions which are unconscious.Reactions such as crossing my right arm in front of me and moving it back down when unsure of something while walking down the street.
I will attempt to connect the idea of the unconscious mind with the fourth way.The unconscious stores things within it like the memory in a computer from things as automatic as tying one's shoes.I find through my introverted character and external observation that shit gets stuck in the unconscious mind like how to react to certain situations.What emotions to display to not get regarded as sick mentally and how ppl adhere to it to the point where they lack awareness of WHY such emotions have come to the surface.
I am forced to question whether society to some degree if any as a whole programs our unconscious minds from birth in HOW we react to situations.Im going of on a tangent but in public schools they always explain how but never why.Is this a valid example to support my claim?We are taught how to operate but reason is ignored.In western society we are programmed to look in ppls eyes or be deemed insecure or inadequate.On tv faces dominate more than anything else.Im not a conspiracist attempting to claim that our society and government wants to keep us asleep to sell low grade products and keep us working in mindless ignorance but I do notice it a trend to focus more on emotions of situations than what is occuring around one.I am criticized by how I say things and my tone of voice moreso than what I say whcih I find illogical.
My idea is simple.By cuttting off awareness of the empathetic tendencies we have so willingly come to posess we may come closer to knowing and understanding that of most importance -The Self.To remain a lone observer amongst ythe endless masses.
