I was just reading "The collected short stories" of D.H Lawrence,
an author, i very much enjoyed reading. But today it was different,
as i was reading through a story titled "The white stocking", i could
see my mind enjoying the words, the drama, the romance but
i also felt something thats beyond my mind and yet as completely
a part of me, was silently taking notes of the structure, composition,
scene creation, with such a fervent intensity of which i could just
catch intermittent glimpses.
While my mind was busy relating me to the story, casting me in one
of it's characters, bringing me back the incidents in my life so far
that can be fit in to the plot, the people in my life that were close to the
descriptions of some of the characters.My subconscious might have
been busy with it's purpose to correlate, to make me learn the art of
writing. This i infer as a result of the self-hypnotic suggestions or the
involuntary suggestions that i've have been feeding my subconscious
with the desire of becoming a writer.
This is not the first time i could sense my subconscious in action,
there have been incidents in my life, where my abilities to perform
certain tasks surprised me and surely gave me a peek in to the
endless power of the subconscious. Though, this is the first time
i thought i'll put the experience in words.
This may sound a little counter intuitive, if the word sub conscious
is to be taken literally, as you might feel that i am still conscious,
so how could you sense the sub-conscious ??
but my feeling is that the level of my consciousness surely varies
depending on how deeply i am involved in a particular task.
For instance, my liking to these short stories and of course the
mastery of Lawrence sure might have elevated my state of consciousness.
This might just be a premise, but which theory doesn't start with one ??.
In any case, it was an experience that i thought i have to reflect back
later.. repeatedly, until i can find a pattern to solve this riddle or just analyze it for what it is...!!!
