COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGISTS TELL US THAT THE HUMAN MIND WORKS THROUGH TWO DISTINCT BUT INTERACTING SYSTEMS: THE 'CONSCIOUS' WHICH IS SUBJECT TO VOLUNTARY CONTROL, AND THE 'SUBCONSCIOUS OF UNCONSCIOUS' WHICH IS AUTONOMOUS AND AUTOMATIC. THE LATTER MAKES US THINK OF THE ELEPHANT WHEN ALL THAT WE ARE TELLING OUR MIND IS 'DO NOT THINK OF THE ELEPHANT'.
UNLESS ONE INTENDS TO RENOUNCE THE PHYSICAL WORLD, IT IS NAIVE TO THINK THAT ONE CAN ESCAPE THE COMPLEXITIES OF MODERN SOCIETY AND THE INTENSIFYING PRESSURES THEY GENERATE ON THE HUMAN MIND AND SPIRIT.
