The anatomy of the universal patterns of the subconscious.

The anatomy of the universe patterns of our subconscious

–The subconscious patterns of our animal intelligence are reducible to a handful of highly metaphorical adaptive micromovements.—

In chapter 3 of June Singer’s biography of Carl Jung, The Boundaries Of The Soul, she talks about how Jung, working with others, figured out that the unconscious was collective and universal. The evidence for this is found in the widely shared patterns and stories and archetypes, like the hero’s journey, that it contains.

It is very important however to respect the fact that the unconscious is collective and universal not only because of the culture that we necessarily share. It is important to respect the fact that there are also universal physical patterns that inform the subconscious and which are held emotionally and somatically in the anatomy of the deep core.

The preverbal unconscious is a pattern recognition system. It is a system of complex and layered patterns. These patterns must have a neurological corollary for them to be universal and these neurological structures or localizations must also then be present as permanent structures in the body, present in the sensorimotor system. The deep core postural system is the only option.

This is not to say that the heroes journey itself has a structure in the body but that the base code for it, including its emotional energy, and something like the active grammar of the patterns, is located in the body.

It is located most coherently in the deep core anatomy.: an axial body wide myofascial synergy. This base code is thus a system of whole body synergistic kinematics, postural kinematics. These are richly resonant and adaptive micromovements that we can enact preverbally and, conveniently, count on the fingers of one hand.

Centration, getting a grip, stabilization, pressurization, grounding, lift… these are the actions of synergistic kinesiology and at the same time the subconscious functions of our postural deep core.

Five major, central, and prominent bones is all that it takes to allow us to co-operate the system. This is what bodily self awareness is and it is called biomechanical enlightenment. This is how we find our animal intelligence.

This deep core anatomy is the fleshy apparatus of our subconscious and although it resides deeply within us it reaches out and embraces us with innate, easy exuberance.

You only need to remember (and respect) five central and prominent bones located on the axial line of the body (including the scapula).
