We have 'consciousness'.
We are aware of a computer screen or a cup of coffee or the sun shining.
David A Oakley, of UCL, and Peter Halligan, of Cardiff University, suggest that we don't consciously choose our thoughts - instead we simply become aware of them.
What if consciousness is not what drives the human mind?
It is suggested that our thoughts, emotions and beliefs are generated by something other than consciousness.
It is suggested that our thoughts come from 'non-conscious systems operating behind the scenes.'
It is suggested that we have a 'personal narrative' which produces our thoughts.
What if consciousness is not what drives the human mind?
We have a 'personality' which dictates that we like computers or cups of coffee.
What is the 'personal narrative', or 'personality' or 'true self' of Kaia Gerber?
Kaia is a Virgo.
According to astrologers, Virgos are shy and dislike being the centre of attention.
We have a 'personality' which dictates that we like people such as Donald Trump or that we like killing Moslems in a Nigerian Mosque.
"Vile Muslim Trump is quick to condemn an attack against one of "his" Egypt mosques , but meanwhile he plots with the Saudis. Maybe he will send Kushner to invetigate, and then sell the Saudis some more weapons. Wake up people! Trump is a Muslim!

When we are born, we have a 'personality' and our 'personal narrative' continues to develop as we grow older.

There is a belief that we should tune in to the 'Heaven' within us.

If the Kingdom of Heaven is within you, it would be a good idea to tune into it.
If you can move mountains, you can do all sorts of things.
The Canadian neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield talked about the mind apparently being able to "project a memory or a dream upon the screen of consciousness."
Wilder Penfield concluded that the mind is a thing separate from the brain, and it does not rely on the brain to function.

In the 1950's, the researcher Stanisilav Grof had a female patient who suddenly became convinced she had assumed the identity of a female of a species of prehistoric reptile.
Grof encountered examples of patients regressing and identifying with virtually every species on the evolutionary tree.
He found that such experiences frequently contained obscure zoological details which turned out to be accurate.
The Holographic Universe - Simulation Hypothesis
Grof had patients who appeared to tap into some sort of collective unconscious.
People with little or no education suddenly gave detailed descriptions of Zoroastrian funerary practices and scenes from Hindu mythology.
Grof had patients who gave persuasive accounts of out-of-body journeys, glimpses of the future, and regressions into apparent past-life incarnations.

Grof suggested that our mind may be connected not only to every other mind that exists or has existed, but to every atom, organism, and region in space and time.

In his book Gifts of Unknown Things, biologist Lyall Watson describes his encounter with an Indonesian shaman woman who, by performing a ritual dance, was able to make an entire grove of trees completely vanish.
Watson relates that as he and another onlooker continued to watch the woman, she caused the trees to reappear, then click off again and on again several times in succession.

Dr. Ian Stevenson wrote about Twins in Sri Lanka. "We did testing that showed they were identical, yet they were markedly different in their behaviors and physical appearance.
"One twin began to talk about a previous life as a Sinhalese insurgent, said he was shot by police in April 1971."

Jessica works as a receptionist in Newport, in Wales.
She is also a part-time support worker.

Jessica developed her male personalities to 'protect' herself after suffering a traumatic event during her childhood.
She refuses to speak about the traumatic event.
'I think having males around all day everyday in my brain really help me desensitize myself to being afraid of men,' she said.
'I thought, if I was a boy, what happened to me wouldn't have happened.'
Jessica Mayer, 25, with DID
"Jessica's disorder is believed to affect one to three per cent of the world's population."
dailymail / Meet Jessica and her four alternate identities / Cwmbran woman's life as five people
Jessica "is happily married to Gareth Mayer, leads a 'girlie' lifestyle" and copes with full-time work and university.
She says of her personalities, 'One of us, whoever it may be, is up in the morning.'
"Generally, Jake usually starts the morning because he likes to take the dog out for a walk or go out for a bit of a jog.
"Ed usually prepares lunchboxes and sets everything up for the week while Jessica would go to her 9-5 job as usual."

Jessica says of her personalities: 'Allowing them to have their own space and their own time is incredibly beneficial to our overall mental health.'
Growing up, Jessica said that she would find herself at a different location, not knowing how she ended up there.
'I remember one day, I was in a dress with the highest of heels on, blisters all over my feet, it was raining and I had no idea where I was or how I got there,' she says.
dailymail
Gareth Mayer describes the change between the personalities as 'incredible'.
Gareth says: "You literally see a shift in everything, from accent to attitude, and even her mannerisms and the way Jess looks."
He says each of the personalities has their own tastes and styles, and that Jessica has bought clothes to suit each personality
He says: "Lady Gaga's wardrobe is probably less diverse than Jess' is."
'I thought, if I was a boy, what happened to me wouldn't have happened.'
