PSR: Type to Type Journey

I’m composing these kinds of examinations to look at the journey across acts, from Type to Type, to get a feel for the kind of change the throughline is undergoing and what the phases are.

PSR Type-to-Type Journey Conscious to Subconscious

What is it in conscious that shades over into subconscious.

Conscious means you’re in a new situation, you can’t
go on automatic, you are awake and aware and trying
to read the meaning of everything going on around you.
You can see everything but interpretation may be inaccurate
or delayed.

He finds Conscious is exhausting, it’s uncomfortable,
he wants more familiar surroundings, if you’re conscious
you are apart from the things you are conscious of,
when you are operating on ‘automatic’ you feel the flow
of things around you, you do things on instinct, you’re in the zen,
when you are conscious your brain and mind are active,
observing, apart from the thing, maintaining that distance,
not going on automatic so you can keep looking,
is tiring. Conscious is also always watching yourself,
so you are also apart from yourself, you are the
Mind watching the operative self, interacting
with other people, observing, debugging,
trying to see if you’re doing something wrong or not.

he finds his Conscious needs to sleep and two things happen,
he deliberately lets it go, but he also finds that over time as
he becomes more familiar with his surroundings he becomes less
conscious again and that’s when his subconscious drives and desires
take over, and it’s almost as if someone else was driving the car. He has
to go into conscious mode because of anxiety, newness,
new situation, but then he likes being conscious and thinks if only
I could be this way all the time, and he finds himself slipping back
into being controlled by his compulsions, drives, desires and that
throws him into a panic too, until it happens and then, naturally,
you’re comfortable, you’ve gotten used to things, you sort of remember
you were conscious but it doesn’t bother you to ‘just let things happen’ now.

Note, this kind of thing is difficult to write and, as I said, two days per act, about 5000 words per act per throughline. I’m aware it’s overkill but I don’t plan to do this every time. I’m also trying to burn Dramatica into my brain, and I’m a ‘hands on’ guy–the more of this kind of thing I do the more I internalize it, getting it under my fingers and flowing through my brain onto the page.

Also, it’s fantastic reading it later. My imagination responds and gets jumpstarted by looking at it.
