Identity and Self

Submitted by Ayotola Oronti on Wed, 07/16/2008 - 1:22pm.

Is it true that one is in 3 parts: Me, Myself and I? Considering the fact that the I-Function and the Cognitive-Unconscious are both operating individually but cooperatively, one can get to resolve any conflict in their relationship to create a different experience.

I was almost confused until we got to discuss that the conflicts between the I-Function and Cognitive-Unconscious can be resolved.

Relating this to my students, it means their cognitive unconscious can be tamed by resolving such conflicts. They come in everyday doing things from the cognitive unconscious whereas in their I-Function is something very much different. Since it is possible to combine both the I-Function and Cognitive-Unconscious, then as an educator I need to be able to find ways of resolving this conflict.
