Reflexes reignite (or trigger) your body movements at a subconscious level. When you get hit many times you sort of develop this sense of 'something is coming' and you move sort of unconsciously. Not completely unconsciously, but somewhat.Silicon Waffle said:Talking about "subconscious", could someone offer me some examples to clarify what "to reignite something at one's subconscious level" means ? Why is it subconscious not conscious though ?
True, but it has recently been studied scientifically, using, e.g., recent research on the brain. There is a nice book out by L. Mlodinow , titled precisely " Subconscious"Sophia said:We would need to see the original text to see the context.
Subconscious usually refers to things that Freud wrote about.

I heard it on a TV documentary show.Sophia said:...
To reignite means to catch fire again. So I understand that something causes certain emotions or reactions in you, but you don't know why you feel or act in such a way...
I also find he has not been so active as he used to during these days. Maybe he is celebrating Lunar New Year with his family (I still prefer Lunar to Chinese but the latter seems to be more commonly used even to Northern American people, which is really a sad thing to mePsinter said:
From now on, I will only use the term Lunar. It never came to my mind that other Asian nations celebrate it too (like, I knew it but never thought about it muchSilicon Waffle said:I also find he has not been so active as he used to during these days.

Oh, Lunar. I wasn't aware of that name.

Hello. I am preoccupied trying to organize things a bit better in real life here. I've been reading posts, though.Psinter said:zoobyyyyyyyyyyy! Hi.

Yes, sorry, the book's title is Subliminal. It is nice in that it is based on actual brain research and generally science-based.zoobyshoe said:Are you referring to the book,

I can't find a book by him entitled "precisely" Subconscious.
Every single supermarket is arranged that way.WWGD said:IOW , there are triggers to your behavior that you (meaning people in general) may not be aware of, but someone else may notice. This may happen with advertisers, marketers, politicians, people in general.
How surprising for me to learn that Slovakian people also use the Lunar one!Sophia said:Was walking with my dog and thinking about lunar/solar/other holidays. And I remembered that actually we have a holiday connected to the lunar calendar this week as well. It's tomorrow and is called Ash Wednesday https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Wednesday
It's 40 days before Easter which is first Sunday after full moon after spring equinox. Sounds kinda complicated if put like this :D
Silicon Waffle said:How surprising for me to learn that Slovakian people also use the Lunar one!
Awesome!
I see. It is just extraordinarily normal.
Not to forget the big party to the december solstice all of us celtic, germanic and slavic tribes used to celebrate for centuries!Sophia said:Actually, this is almost universal Christian tradition. It has roots in Jewish customs.
For what it's worth, I know many people from all over Asia: Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, etc. (and of course, China too). And they all call it "Chinese New Year." So I don't think it's a big deal (even among peoples of non-Chinese, Asian countries who celebrate the holiday).Silicon Waffle said:(I still prefer Lunar to Chinese but the latter seems to be more commonly used even to Northern American people, which is really a sad thing to me)
And don't forget Mardi Gras/Carnival, by extension. That's today, by the way. Happy Mardi Gras!Sophia said:Was walking with my dog and thinking about lunar/solar/other holidays.

Is there some special meaning attached to this second new moon?fresh_42 said:2nd new moon after December solstice!
A sign of getting old WWGD, I have also started spelling phonetically and I used to win spelling bees.WWGD said:For some strange reason, I have been misspelling words I had never misspelled, like fare instead of fair, etc
I don't know, I just started a new job and have a business on the side, together with full time school. That may be a better explanation: I am exhausted.Evo said:A sign of getting old WWGD, I have also started spelling phonetically and I used to win spelling bees.

chinese calendar is very accurate , just saýing =) esp useful to predict tides for those deep sea fishing lover..there's 2 April moon in a leap year.fresh_42 said:I've only found the following:
The chinese calendar is NOT a lunar calendar, it is a lunisolar calendar, a to the sun coupled version of a pure lunar calendar in order to keep it closer to the seasons. The chinese new year is also a celebration of spring. (The festivities traditionally last 15 days ... ending with a lantern festival). There are constellations where it meets the 3rd new moon (2033) because they need to fill in leap (moon)month. The second new moon is the one before the equinox in spring.
No. I ate too much junk food. Now I can't eat anything because it's so painful.Silicon Waffle said:Could it be intestinal worms ?![]()
Customers, where? A shop?Sophia said:That means only a few customers today.
I've never fished in open sea. My uncle told me the waves are way more aggressive than in the bay and unlike in the bay where it is relatively calm, in open sea there are always waves.WIN said:for those deep sea fishing lover
There's another mystery I cannot solve:WIN said:chinese calendar is very accurate , just saýing =) esp useful to predict tides for those deep sea fishing lover..there's 2 April moon in a leap year.
fresh_42 said:There's another mystery I cannot solve:
It is generally considered rude to ask a woman how old she is. But it's not asking for her zodiac.
So if asking for her chinese zodiac you usually can calculate her age. Is that rude?

Funny, the German word for fever is 'Fieber' which makes a lot more sense for an internal clean up. I had to make the detour on bundles to get away from that thought, which left me with the next difficulty: too thin!WWGD said:How about some powerful fiber to clean yourself up internally?
That must be awesome! I wish I worked at a family shop, but no one has a shop in my family.Sophia said:Yes, I work in a family shop. That kind where you know all your customers, some of them by their nicknames, and chat with them.
No thanks. Fiber makes me go to the bathroom.WWGD said:How about some powerful fiber to clean yourself up internally?
