<<> Can anyone show me this "unconscious" ? How do we > know it even exists? >> I don't know about this whole mystical concept of the unconscious but I do think that we have very short "attention" spans and that our brains pick up a lot more than we think and store it in our minds. In fact, scientists and other really smart folks believe that our brains actually approach 100% retention. We can remember everything pretty much. It's all stored there in glial cells and neural pathways but we can't always bring it up on command. It's just not that easy. We might be overwhelmed if we could. As for the feeling that we're all beasts and animals and primitive at heart, well I'm sure we have instincts and all but I'm pretty civlized and... Whoa!!! There is a hot chick in the cube across from mine!!! Hey, ho, who said that baby how you been??? Joey
