Subject and Model- Ericksonian Hypnosis and NLP 11/10/02 Re: Sense of humour LINEARALITY IS A CONSTRUCT OF THE CONSCIOUS MIND, I'D say. And as incorrect one at that. It oversimplifies the world of nature-out-there, the human experience, and how they connect. In many instances, I would expect the linear learning of the conscious mind becomes rote learning and moves below the threshold of awareness to un-conscious learning. However, for the huge amount of direct experience, the unconscious "deep structure" is richer than simple linerality. That is good news as it makes for change and creativity that has "meaning." As for "humor." Humor is considered a higher cortical activity created when disparate meanings are suddenly/suprised justaposed. As such, it involves some conscious awareness somewhere. Still the emotions of joy and say humor are easily retrieved - sometimes for instance when one can't recall the joke that was spoken but is laughing at the humor it created. And, also consider that most people consiously don't know how to make themselves laugh now and then. The resources, then are stored "out of awareness" and make up part of what is referred to beautifully and called the unconscious. Quote from Stephen Lankton 7/24/01 |
