    The Power of The Paraconscious

    Uploaded by

    Gilberto Maldonado Martínez
    The document describes different levels of consciousness, including the conscious, pre-conscious, subconscious, unconscious, paraconscious, and nonconscious states. The paraconscious state, as defined by Georgi Lozanov, refers to a normal state of relaxed awareness when we are most receptive to learning. The document contrasts the conscious and nonconscious states, noting that the conscious state is active and controlling, focuses on parts over wholes, emphasizes specifics and correctness, while the nonconscious state is receptive, incorporates new information, sees errors as learning opportunities, and focuses on emergence, pleasure, and cooperation over competition.

    THE POWER OF THE PARACONSCIOUS

    ICELT

    Different levels of consciousness


    described in the article
    TERMINOLOGY

    Conscious

    normal state of being awake and aware

    Pre-conscious

    Term used by Norman Dixon to describe the state of the mind and body in the fraction of second
    before we start to act or think consciously.

    Subconscious

    Those things just below the surface of our conscious awareness.

    Unconscious

    Much deeper, less accessible memories and influences (I avoid this term because of its associations
    with certain schools of psychotherapy, and with being knocked out)

    Paraconscious

    Term used by Georgi Lozanov to describe the state of normal awareness which does not require
    careful thought (for example, the relaxed unfocused state of listening to music while were ironing)
    when we are most receptive to learning; this is the state most of the suggestions in this article are
    attempting to access.

    Nonconscious

    General term used here to describe other than conscious, rather than trying to differentiate
    between any of the specific states mentioned above.
