Hey Patrick
I do not think your post was Dooddoener ( I love that word - its
rather onomatopoetic. I think I will start using it)
PATRICK; My addition here is about the notion of the 'unconsciousness'. I

ERIN: Right,I think the inference is that the unconscious
is a separate "part" rather then both being memory.
I think what you are try to express that a separation is a bit of
an illusion.
I think the terms in psychology- working memory and long-term memory express
it well.
PATRICK (about emotion and reason in consciousness) They form a
>unity; they are intertwined and their boundaries are vague.
ERIN: I think gestalt idea would work here.
Consciousness is more then just the sum of emotion and reason.
I think that they may have a synergistic relation and
the product (consciousness) is better then either alone.
