ABSTRACT
Deep unconscious experience is initiated by unconsciously perceived events and their unconsciously appreciated meanings. It is centred on the present moment, frame-focused, highly effective in its processing and coping abilities, but capable of only encoded language expression, without much effect on direct adapting efforts. This chapter presents some key features that appear to characterize best the deep unconscious system of the emotion-processing mind. These include: the system is an adaptive system with highly effective resources; the system is designed to process automatically emotionally charged inputs that overtax conscious-system resources; the organs of perception that receive inputs from the environment (raw experiences and their meanings) operate outside awareness; and the realm of deep unconscious experience of the world is strongly focused on frame impingements.
