One is projective and one is receptive. Does that help? |
Yes it does help thanks.
I believe the brain works first in response to sensory stimuli which is processed into an emotional reaction. That emotion is connected with memories to build a complete thought at which point the thought, stimulus, and emotions are reprocessed in a feedback loop which can result in repair or damage.
It is up to us to initiate the loop with in order to make the process profitable. Otherwise the loops will be processed without any intention on our part.
Are consciousness and awareness synonymous?
Actually, since I am new around here, is there a quick reference (dictionary?) that has clear meanings of such things as awareness, consciousness, attention, thoughts, etc.?
Thanks.
