■ [Part 2] Are "People" "Driven" by "Consciousness"? — "Unconsciousness" "Moves First," and "Consciousness" "Follows Later" —

"People" are "consciousness" "driven". That is the

"common" way of "thinking". However, in reality, the

"reaction"
"happens first", and the "reason"

is "thought of"
"afterward". In other words, "consciousness"

is not the
"leader", but is "closer" to being an
"explainer". Unless you "understand" this

"structure", you cannot "decipher" human
"behavior". First, let us "correctly re-evaluate" the "role of consciousness".

1. The "premise" that we are "driven" by "consciousness"

2. The "structure" where "reactions" "happen first"

3. "Reasons" are "created afterward"

4. The "true" "role" of "consciousness"

5. Why Does "This Misunderstanding" "Occur"?

6. The "Positioning" of "This Chapter"

1. The "Premise" That We Are "Driven" by "Consciousness"

Many"people"

"themselves" "will" "are driven"
"think". The "consciousness" referred to here is the "thoughts" and "judgments" that "you" can "recognize" "yourself." However, this "premise" is "used" without "ever being questioned." Is it really the case that "consciousness" "decides" "everything"?

2. The "Structure" Where "Reaction" "Occurs First"

The actual "human reaction" occurs in the following
"order" "happening".

Stimulus ↓ "Reaction" ↓ Recognition ↓ "Rationalization"

What



"happens"

first is the "reaction". This "reaction"
"before thinking"

"happens". For example, the
"unpleasant words"


"the moment you hear", "discomfort" "is born". At this
"point in time", you "have not yet thought".

The "reaction"
"has already happened"

.

3. The "reason" is "created later"

A "reaction" "occurs", and then
"people" "try to" "explain" it. This is the

"reason". A

"reason" is an
"explanation" that is "created" "after" an "action" or "emotion". In other words, it is not that the
"reason" "exists" at the

"beginning"
, but rather that you are "assigning meaning" "afterward". If you do not "understand" this "structure"

, you will "misinterpret" the "actions"

of "people".

4. The "true" "role" of "consciousness"

So, what is
consciousness actually doing? The

main roles of consciousness are the following

two:
• Recognizing what has happened
• Assigning meaning to things In other words,


consciousness is not a decision-maker, but an
interpreter. This

distinction is extremely
important.

5. Why does 'this misunderstanding' occur?

Humanscannot
“perceive” everything that is “happening inside” “themselves.” The

“reactions” occurring
in the

“unconscious” “realm” are
“invisible.” Therefore, we

“mistakenly believe” that

“consciousness”
is “making the decisions.” The “unconscious”
referred to here is the “realm of the mind”

that “operates without being consciously aware.”

This
“unconscious” is, in reality, “the starting point”

of “reactions.”
It “is” that.

6. The “Positioning” of this Chapter

In this chapter, what I clarified is the

structure where
consciousness is not first. This becomes the foundation for the


entirety of Chapter 3. By understanding this

structure, the meaning of the personality

we will cover next will accurately
come into view.

What is “Personality”?
— The True Nature of “Personality” That Is “Confused With” “Character and Ability” —

“Personality” is a word that is
used in daily life.

However,
its “definition” remains “vague.” Is it

“character”? Is it
“ability”? Is it
“humanity”? In many cases,

these are
“understood” in a
“mixed state.” Next time,

we will “re-examine”
“personality” as a “structure” and prepare the “foundation”
to move forward.
