Tertiary Consciousness.
Recently (23.04.2022) a lecture of Professor S.V. Saveliev “Tertiary Consciousness” was shown on YouTube channel.
It is a very interesting topic and has its roots in Orthodoxy (the icon of the third hand), Hinduism, and Buddhism (the third eye).
They are all designed to help a person in a time of need.
The duration of the lecture is just over 17 minutes. I will save your kilocalories and outline the content in one minute.
S. Saveliev formulated the structure of human consciousness, dividing it conventionally into three parts.
Primary consciousness is a set of biological programs of behavior formed over millions of years of human evolution. These behavioral programs are inherited and not subject to change.
Secondary consciousness is a set of social programs of behavior formed in the process of copying communication in the social environment. And most importantly in recent times in social networks and mass communication.
Primary and secondary consciousness are effective in a stable society.
Tertiary consciousness is a set of new behavior programs (a combination of primary and secondary behavior programs) needed to adjust in the face of replacing old behavioral rules.
So how are the behavior programs of tertiary consciousness created?
1) When unacknowledged information is received, several behavior programs are folded into a new archetype from the primary and secondary consciousnesses in a random fashion. This option is low-cost for a single individual, but many individuals need to be reassembled. Which is what happens in practice in evolution.
2) The brain tries to put together as puzzles a new archetype of behavior and predict the reaction of the external environment. This process is highly costly for our brain. American scientists have called this condition the wandering mind.
A stable state of society turns on stable programs of behavior of the primary or secondary consciousness. But several behavioral programs may be triggered as a reaction to the same information. The selection criterion is the minimum kilocalorie consumption.
What is the selection criterion for creating multiple archetypes of behavior?
Can multiple archetypes be formed simultaneously?
This is what I want to talk about.
Let’s take two projects for an unstable society as an example.
The first project. The Russian TV series “Mysterious Passion”
based on the novel by Aksenov. A group of young poets (Bella Akhmadulina, Robert Rozhdestvensky, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Andrei Voznesensky and Vasily Aksenov) are madly talented and obsessed with improving Soviet society 60 years ago. They are trying to transcend the basis of the Soviet system — who is not with us is against us. The producer of this project is Konstantin Ernst, the general director of Channel One Russian Television.
The second project. Over the past 22 years, Russia has managed to form the consciousness of a militant majority aimed at the destruction of an insubordinate population, either fraternal or alien, but unequivocally different. There is nothing supernatural in this. Such experience exists in history. Massive influence on the programs of behavior of the secondary consciousness has already been described in detail in the world literature. These techniques of influence are effective in the stable development of society. The producer of this project
Konstantin Ernst, General Director of Russian Television Channel One.
When the Rules of Behavior in society change, we need individuals with a tertiary consciousness capable of developing new rules of behavior which guarantee adaptation to new conditions.
The designer and creator of both projects is Konstantin Ernst, as the head of the propaganda information space for all of Russia.
Ernst is a vivid bearer of tertiary consciousness.
Imagine being in the middle of an information production conflict. Ernst is trying to get to the bottom of the conflict and reconcile the conflicting sides. Everything makes sense to everyone. But after 5 minutes, Ernst starts misrepresenting information for the benefit of one of the parties.
The main slogan of the conflict: “He who is not with us is against us!”
In the first project, Ernst denies the slogan as inhumane, in the second project he puts this slogan into the heads of the Russians.
How do these two archetypes of behavior programs function simultaneously in Ernst’s tertiary consciousness?
If they are switched on at different intervals, it is understandable. There are many examples in history of people changing their behavior. In our case, the two projects are turned on in consciousness almost simultaneously.
This is the aerobatics of tertiary consciousness.
