The answer is easy: at the contact with new circumstances, different of those for which it was created.
When the psyche is faced with some new circumstances, information for which the conscious doesn’t have time to prepare any answers yet, the conscious is naturally activated.
Thus, in order to be able to awake the conscious from a given psyche, it must be faced with absolutely new circumstances or information until it is completely “awake”.
It’s necessary to do this especially in the cases in which the conscious “sleeps” for a long period of time and to “awake it and bring it to its senses” is more difficult.
Faced with new circumstances, the “automatic pilot” tries to solve the problem by itself, but it can’t adapt to them (due to some specific programmes like the fear, the pride, etc.).
That’s why, for the conscious to be completely awake, the psyche must be obliged, in one way or another, to remain in touch with the new stimuli for a longer period of time; in this way the “automatic pilot” sees that it can neither solve the problem nor avoid it (to run away of the new circumstances in familiar ones) and it feels obliged to awake the conscious.
It’s how the master of a house give orders to his men-servants what to do if different circumstances appear while he sleeps; then he goes to sleep.
If he managed to predict all that could happen, his men-servants would know what to do in each circumstance and wouldn’t have to awake their master.
But if at a given moment they are faced with a new circumstance, about which their master did not tell them anything, in the first stage they will try to postpone it or even to avoid it, if it’s possible.
If this thing is impossible, only then they will awake their master in order to tell them what to do in that circumstance.
The master is the conscious and the men-servants are the automatic processes from the subconscious; they have a relative small liberty of action, they can improvise only a little.
The conscious is the only one able to decide what to do in some totally new circumstances.
Of course, the conscious should be awake as long as possible and watch the automatic processes to see if they are suitable or not with the new created circumstances.
In other words, the master shouldn’t sleep in the daytime if he really wants his business to go well.
The men-servants, in spite of their effort, can’t make the things better by themselves, only if they are coordinated and guided by the “master”.
In the actual society the people’s conscious sleeps because the society encourages this “sleep” by all means; like everybody knows, it encourages the memory and not the initiative or the lucid analysis.
Due to the social context, the conscious is very little put in the position to manifest itself and thus it doesn’t do it. But if some new circumstances appear and the conscious is awake, but only for a while, it must be kept awake (and here appears the necessity of forming and performing the Group Psychical Harmonization) until it gets used “to be awake” all the time during a day.
In this way it is reached the stage in which the conscious is awake all the time and it coordinates the manifestation of different psychical automatic processes, controlling not only their apparition, but also the moment in which they may manifest or not.
Once created, these automatic processes can manifest themselves automatically, not being necessary the conscious intervention; but only if it allows them to do this.
In the actual society, people function more on “automatic pilot”, using very little their conscious.
It’s necessary not to function on “automatic pilot” anymore at the contact with some new circumstances and information and to be kept ‘awake. The awakening (the detaching of the psychic automatic processes) can be made only if the people are informed about the psyche’ structure and mechanisms from books, seminars, lectures, personal contacts.
The maintenance of the awakening state and its transformation in a constant of the psyche can be made through the activation and use of the conscious as often as possible (of the discriminatory analysis of the different circumstances, ideas, concepts we are faced with, at a given moment).
For the definitive strengthen of the conscious position (as a coordinator and master of the subconscious, as a careful and receptive force at the signals sent by the Supra-conscious), one of the best procedure recommended by the author is the running through The Individual Psychical Harmonization described in this blog.
As we’ve already mentioned, at the beginning of this Individual Psychical Harmonization, the conscious has to awake and to realize that it is something totally different from the subconscious; in this way it has the possibility to detach itself from the subconscious in order to analyze it more carefully.
It’s necessary not to identify ourselves with different mental automatic processes (specific to the anger, fear, sadness, doctrines or beliefs) but to realize that we are not them, that we (the conscious) are the ones who produced them at a past given moment and that we can destroy them if they prove to be useless for keeping the System’s harmony and existence.
The Subconscious (different judgments and ways of thinking turned into some psychical automatic processes) is the creation of the Conscious; wrongly it can be identified with the conscious, but only when it “falls asleep” or function on “automatic pilot” and let it to act instead of it.
Awaken, the conscious must be kept in this state; but for this it must train itself and perform The Individual Psychical Harmonization.
We must get used to detach by our own thoughts and by the circumstances we are faced with, and not to let the old automatic processes to manifest automatically.
The critical and discriminative analysis specific to the conscious is possible due to the detaching and interrupting of the manifestation of the old automatic process; and it gets stronger through a constant practice of the “self-remembering” and of The Individual Psychical Harmonization.
In order to strengthen its position in the psyche, the conscious must be used as often as possible and it must lead the psyche as long as possible.
This thing can be made using two methods:
-the contemplation
-the self-remembering .
