Reality and Perception: A Model for How We Process and Perceive Reality

Exactly. I've done other work on this that mentions that. We have conscious, willful, voluntary thought processing, and we have unconscious/subconscious, automatic and involuntary thought processing. Ideas, concepts and beliefs that bubble up to our conscious mind from unconscious pattern linking doesn't mean this are "divine", "mystical" or "relevations" of truth, like some so-called "spiritualists" believe. They just don't understand how the psyche-consciousness works. Thanks for the feedback.

Can you expand on that idea or link me to an article explaining this more articulately, "Ideas, concepts and beliefs that bubble up to our conscious mind from unconscious pattern linking doesn't mean this are "divine", "mystical" or "relevations" of truth, like some so-called "spiritualists" believe."

Some people think that their "intuitive" automatic pattern-linking process that comes from the unconscious or subconscious processing, is somehow "divine", and is "pure" and better than the conscious rational processing.
