Phhht...you say that, but despite sending you a brown paper bag full of money I still seem sadly stuck with my own fuzzy brain box.
Huh? Who said anything about mystical awareness being dead?

That's because I live in a higher state of awareness than you. Sorry, it sucks, I know.

why do you want to kill this term, it is precise.
Why? That's precisely explained in the OP. You should read an OP now and then. At least one, just so you can say you did.

You might want to talk to psychologists and neuroscientists about that subject. The subconscious is a colloquial term that is not used in psychology.
"If someone talks of subconsciousness, I cannot tell whether he means the term topographically -- to indicate something lying in the mind beneath consciousness -- or qualitatively -- to indicate another consciousness, a subterranean one, as it were. He is probably not clear about any of it. The only trustworthy antithesis is between conscious and unconscious." - Sigmund Freud via Subconscious
Freud? You're kidding me, right? Last time I looked, this was 2019.

our existence gives us practical examples of lower and higher. we do not know exactly nature of consciousness only judging it by 'ripples on the surface of water' that it leaves, as mystica! should do.
Whatever you say. Thank you for you contributions to the thread, such as they were.

Freud cited by a psychology wiki page from 2016, confirming that what the founder of the discipline said still holds true. And better than the unnamed tens of thousands of psychologists at any rate.

Freud and Jung would have called for Death to the Heinous and Abhorrent Term, "Subconscious"! Death!

That the brain processes information "on a level" that the conscious mind is unaware of is, I believe, indisputable.
"Subconscious" is a colloquial term, (with unconscious being the technical term,) just as "Higher Consciousness" is a colloquial term.

Sorry, I'm not going along with this. This is the Man, trying to keep people from becoming more than galley slaves by labeling the word consciousness as biased. Sorry pal, that won't fly. That's something blatantly that those lizardfolk will tell you.
Lizard Person: Consciousness is racist. Go back to sleep, monkeys, while we herd you and plot to exterminate you. We can't have you becoming immortals and sages, because that would thwart our plans.
Human: I heard you say something about exterminating us.
Lizard Person: No you didn't. Here, have a virtual reality device using this smartphone. It's totally not going to make you forget you're in VR in the first place. And look, it's shiny!
Human: Whoa, shiny! I guess I could forget for a second about Buddha self/Higher consciousness...
Lizard Person: Mwahahaha!
More Lizards: MWAHAHAHA!!!
Human: That time I'm sure...
Lizards: We were just ummm clearing our throats.
Bottom line, we should do nothing of the sort. Just the opposite in fact. Higher consciousness is essential to culvitation and awakening.

Woke refers to people who are suddenly "aware" (a large portion of why I hate insistent terminology, is that it reads too much like political correctness and relabeling, so no to mystical "awareness", keeping higher consciousness) of "important social issues". Usually though, it refers to myopic and self-congratulating idiots that do something like tell other people to recycle while ignoring their own hypocrisy of using a jet to fly to the location (vs just displaying a Skype on a large screen, my template here is Al Gore), or who have decided something stupid like that "ham" in the word hamburger is offensive to Muslims (BK actually decided this, being completely unaware that hamburger actually refers to meat in the style on Hamburg).
In religion, awakened is okay, being "woke" is not.

It is not so black and white. In psychoanalysis, only the ‘unconscious’ is used and is the target. Freud himself clarified that conscious and unconscious are true anti of each other. There can be no doubt about that.
But Freud proposed a ‘preconscious’. And Jung proposed ‘personal unconscious’ and ‘collective unconscious’.
Yet, you need a term for ‘awareness that is not in focus’ but that can be accessed, such a temporarily forgotten memory. Therefore subconscious is a term which is often used in psychology.
Recently, a term ‘non conscious’ has also come to be used. The point is that that there is a part in mind that may be subconscious or non conscious but can be changed with conscious attention.
