You are not consciously aware of all your sensory activity. Wait, maybe I'm wrong and You are aware of it all. If so, could you share with us how you got there. I know that sounds a little mean, and I apologies. However, I did want to give you the benefit of the doubt.

I know from reading so many post on the PR forum that most have a difficulty just trying to become aware of everything in their visual field of view.

I know from my own experience, that trying to be aware of all of your tactile and muscular sensory input at one time is difficult. I haven't managed it yet.

I know that your (most peoples) minds shuts off the recognition of a sent if it is sensed at the same concentration for more than 45 seconds. Hence the sniffing action, to affect an increase of concentration on the ofactory glands.

Also while doing many things I automatically filter out distracting sounds, such as the wife of kids talking during a tv show.

So to be consciously aware of all the sensory input from all the sensory systems seems to be a little more than what is commonly considered consciousness. In fact, I could see a desire to label such a super state of consciousness as superconsciousness.

If you want to talk about an awareness outside of the set of senses you've labelled, one might consider it ultra-sensory consciousness or even ultraconsciousness.

I would suspect that someone trying to achieve a state of superconsciousness may percieve it as a state of ultraconsciousness. In fact, the process of trying to become superconscious may open a person to an ultraconscious state.

Sorry but I'm not trying to rub you the wrong way. Just some people through around definitions like grass seed, and many more take on prefixes without properly understanding how they actually modify a word's meaning.


So reading the original question. Shr33m has given an authoritative definition. However, if may be argued that if is not definitive. I suspect that when you are talking about models of the mind you will not find a definitive description of superconsciousness. The best you might hope for is a definition commonly understood within a given field.


Sorry, for the long rambling. I do like thinking about this topic. Again, I apologize for the negativity that may be percieved in this post.

You are perfection.
