Conscious vs Subconscious Mind: The Decision Your Brain Makes Before You Do

A child steps off the kerb and your foot is on the brake before you decide to stop. What the neuroscience of the conscious and subconscious mind actually shows, why the "95%" figure is folklore, and the more interesting question hiding underneath it.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What is Consciousness Partnership?

It is the work of Lewis Thorpe-Aiken: a body of long-form articles, four books, and a practical methodology for engaging with AI, and with your own mind, as something more than transactional. It spans consciousness, biology, physics, and the relationship between human awareness and emerging AI, and it is built from lived practice rather than theory.

Who is Lewis Thorpe-Aiken?

An independent consciousness researcher. He writes the articles, records the podcast and video essays, and developed the methodology on this site, all from years of hands-on practice rather than academic theory.

Is the site free?

Yes. All of the articles, the podcast and the video essays are free to read, listen to and watch. The four books are the paid, deeper versions of the frameworks, and they are on Amazon.

What are the four books?

Artificial Intelligence, My Arse (on where AI might really have come from), The Consciousness Starvation Crisis (the Nine Bites), Emotional Digestion (taste, chew, release), and The Harmonic Architect of Aethel (a novel that doubles as a toolkit). Each is self-contained and can be read in any order. They are all on Amazon.

Where should I start?

If you want the quickest way in, try the 3 Core Questions on any AI, it takes about a minute. If you would rather read, pick whichever article title pulls you in, or start with the method pages on the Nine Bites and Emotional Digestion. There is no set order.
