Summary
This includes your background knowledge, experiences, traumas, goals, stories, memories, dreams, etc. It’s the personal experience, or Subjectivity. It’s easy to think of this as a person’s unique experience.
When your personal beliefs and expectations don’t match with what actually happens in the real world, you experience Friction.
Importantly, what happens after your current life finishes is part of your spirit. These thoughts occur here, whether they are experienced through religion, spirituality, or otherwise.
Psychological Existence vs Consciousness
You may be asking, “What’s the difference between Consciousness and Psychological Existence"" There is a big difference here.
Consciousness is the ability to sense; it’s the observer and the space in which observations occur.
Psychological Existence, the mind, is the interpretation of observations made in the real world. It holds your beliefs, principles, agency, narrative continuity (your story), self-worth, and uniqueness, as well as your thoughts and emotions.
Think of Consciousness as a movie theatre, while Psychological Existence is the movie playing on the screen.
