ABSTRACT
Mentation and communication largely are responses to external triggers as experienced through conscious and unconscious perception – and then processed. Communicative interactions are circular mixtures of conscious and unconscious, direct and encoded, messages. Trigger decoding is the key that solves the Rosetta stone of unconscious communication. Once identified, a trigger is assessed for its likely implications and encoded meanings, and the readings are used as organizers for the linking and decoding effort. Trigger decoding captures the results of both unconscious perception and unconscious processing and adaptation, carried forward by means of a deep intelligence that operates in terms of its own unique and deeply unconscious store of memories, knowledge, viewpoints, adaptive preferences, and experiences. In general, the proposition that the interventions of a self-processing teacher are overridingly central to the encoded meanings conveyed in a student’s material offends conscious sensibility. The design of the class maximizes the expression of encoded meaning and facilitates the recognition of active triggers.
