The link conscious - subconscious

How are the judgments made?

In the evolution of the judgments, the first form is that in which we learn to speak.

This is the process through which we associate different perceived processes with their corresponding sounds and/or images (for deafs and dumbs).

If we associate some sounds (words, names) with some perceived processes and states (linked by motion, objects, space, time, causality) we can say that the reason is in fact just another form of perception: a perception of the names.

First of all the judgments appear as a stream of names with a meaning (they send to a certain phenomenon of the reality).

Similarly to words (names) the judgments are also learned in a first stage by children through simple imitation and copying of the words and judgments of the people around them (parents, family, society).

The learning of speaking and of the judgments is made through repetition: the more repeated they are, the more fixed they are in the memory (subconscious).

Let’s make a formal share of the psychical system in three main parts: supraconscious (the voice of the conscience), the conscience and the subconscious (the memory) - only for a better presentation and understanding of some psychical processes.

The conscience makes the link between the other two parts and, at its turn, it is also linked by the present perception (by what manifests in the psyche at a present moment).
This manifestation is stimulated by the subconscious and the supraconscious and it influences them.

First of all let’s discuss about the link between the conscience and the subconscious; a reality repeatedly and consciously perceived in the present turns into a memory which the stronger it is the more often the repetition of that perception is.

The same thing happens with the judgments (I’ve just said that they are nothing more but some forms of perception) meaning that the more repeated a judgment is the more it is memorized; in other words it fixes itself in the subconscious (in the memory) very firmly.

As I’ve already mentioned, the judgments are assimilated with some phenomenons and circumstances; this assimilation is also the key of their reactivation which means the key of their emerging from the subconscious scene on that of the conscious.

In other words, when some phenomena or circumstances (identical or similar to those previously perceived in a repeated way) were assimilated by some judgments, those judgments will be reactivated, getting out from the subconscious.

Their repetition will strengthen them more in the subconscious up to a certain moment, when the circumstances which produced them, can manifest automatically, without being necessary the conscious’ intervention. Thus, they turn into some psychical automatic processes.
