Psychology must focus on the unconscious mind. We the people know about the conscious mind. We use it every day to run our lives. Our lives consist of more, our unconscious. It is what creates the millions of minute electrical signals our muscles need to create the movements we are capable of. Our unconscious mind processes all of the information of our senses as well as what it stores in our memory for later use. It is our old animal mind or primordial mind. Whatever we do patterns our unconscious mind. Watching TV or playing video games, sex, eating, aggression and drugs are fulfilling aspects of the unconscious. It does so without us even realizing it is doing it. This is why holding a baby and showing it love with our eyes is so compelling to us when we are parents. It teaches a very important thing to the unconscious mind of the child and we subconsciously know it.

Electronic games mimic battle adrenaline. Do this enough and normal existence is not enough for you. Watch the perfect people living the perfect life on TV and your life will seem dull. Look at magazines full of beautiful women and you might not ever be able to fall in love with a real one. Drugs can be all of the above with none of the experiences and remove the possibility of the experiences.

All of our behaviors that we cannot rationalize, usually wants and desires, are determined by compulsions of the unconscious mind.

The unconscious is also the place where the signals of unconditional love that make us happy are generated. It is a place of extreme subtlety. So extreme that we dream from it.

I need to understand the compulsions of WANTS and desires.

Or

I need LOVE.
