The link between the conscience and supraconscious

The Supraconscious is that “Voice of the Conscience” which knows when we have in our psyche some wrong judgments (one or more) and which signalizes to us this thing by the presence in the psyche (in the same time in which the wrong judgments take place) of the signal of psychical suffering (stress, anxiety, agitation, state of “interior sick”, discomfort etc).

This signal is characteristic to each wrong judgment: one thing is the psychic suffering specific to the pride (to the conceit, to the vanity), another one is that specific to the anger and a total different one is that specific to the fear or sadness. But all can be characterized as being states of “sickness”, of “agitation”, of stress and anxiety.

But how does the Supraconscious know that a judgment is wrong?

The vegetative nervous system (of the physical body) knows that a hit, a cut or a burn is not good for the physical system (they may lead to its destruction).
When it perceives them, it sends specific signals of pain which can be followed or not by the central nervous system (the equivalent of the conscience from the psyche).
This pain can’t be learned but only felt from the very first time when we are faced with the disturbing stimuli (hits, fire, etc.).

In the same way, the psychical suffering is not a social product (meaning that it can’t be learned); it acts and manifests spontaneously and as soon as a wrong judgment is present in our psyche.

In other words, the Supraconscious knows which judgments are wrong and which are correct even before they are formed.

These judgments are built by the conscience, taking into consideration the signals which come from the Supraconscious.

This is like a teacher who doesn’t teach a student what to think but he only urges him to think; and when he thinks correctly, the teacher stimulates him (through signals of happiness and harmony, through a good score); and when he thinks in a wrong way, the teacher warns him (through the signal of suffering, through a slapping or through a small score).

In other words, the student learns by himself and the teacher only guides him (he doesn’t teach him) how to learn by himself through the specific mechanisms mentioned above.

The signals received from the “teacher” (the Supraconscious) show to the “student” how well did he learn, how well does he integrate himself in the harmony of the systems he belongs to (in what extent he acts for the maintenance of their existence).

The obtained score and the received signal are the only results of the student’s hard-working (of the conscience).

So the immediate cause of the signal of psychical suffering or of that of happiness is only his own conscience; the suffering appears if we sustain in our psyche some wrong judgments: the happiness exists as long as the process of correcting them lasts; the state of harmony and wellbeing (neither of suffering nor happiness) exists for the rest of the time.

From all these, it can be drawn the conclusion that the most important cause of our psychic suffering or happiness is only the work of our own conscience; that is, if it creates correct judgments or, by the contrary, some wrong ones.

We can also see that if we judge correctly all the time, the psychical suffering doesn’t have any reason to appear.

It appears just for announcing us when we think in a wrong way. But it is also the signal which shows us when we have to start a self-analysis of the judgments we have at a certain moment, when the psychical suffering is present in our psyche.

So, when it appears we can be sure that exactly in that moment one or more wrong judgments take place in our psyche (wrong automatic processes); that’s why it is advisable to start right in that moment their analyze, in order to understand in what that mistake of judgment which characterizes them, consists in.
