Unconscious

The unconscious is a set of mental processes and states that are outside the consciousness of the subject.

The unconscious includes thoughts, memories, desires and feelings that a person is not currently aware of. However, these processes influence a person's conscious thoughts, emotions and behavior.

The concept of the unconscious was introduced by Sigmund Freud. He believed that unconscious processes play a key role in motivating human behavior. According to Freud, the unconscious contains repressed desires, traumatic memories and instincts.

Although many of Freud's ideas about the unconscious are now criticized, modern psychology recognizes the existence of unconscious mental processes. These include automatic actions, involuntary attention, intuition and implicit memory.

Research shows that most information processes in the brain occur at a subconscious level. However, under certain conditions, these processes can influence human consciousness and behavior. Thus, the study of unconscious mechanisms is important for understanding the human psyche and behavior.

The psyche is, as it were, two halves: rational, “personal” and irrational, “unconscious”. Moreover, the conscious and unconscious half are inextricably linked. Consciousness functions with the help of the unconscious, but these two layers of our psyche are different. Part of the psyche has knowledge and experience that is hidden deep within us, but it is also involved in all of our lives. We are not aware of a large number of questions that arise in our brain only because there are not sufficient conditions for this, our brain has not yet reached a certain stage of development and therefore nothing in our environment gives us the motivation to resolve them. Therefore we become passive observers. This untapped part of our psyche is active and very powerful. It is there that the birth of new ideas, the emergence of unshakable beliefs, psychological complexes and phobias, and also
