‘the unthought known’. It’s a psychoanalytic term that refers to the knowledge of life a child absorbs as it grows that is never consciously given, nor knowingly received. It’s the knowledge children have about whether or not their parents are happy, or about how monsters live under beds, or that sun, sea and sand feel good (but sunscreen does not), or that certain activities will make your mother mad if she happens to discover them. None of it can be put into words, and yet it dictates the unconscious pattern of our lives.
thanks for the info on the subject... interesting stuff... it seems Ed is much more inspired by his daughter than we can ever imagine...

Thanks for the description, it's very interesting, and when I hear the song, I'll actually understand it better.
I can't believe no one wants to talk about how brilliant Ed is...he reads psychology magazines or articles for gods sake!!!! I am sure it's to do with the fact he's having and/or had a child but STILL!!!! Let's discuss!!!!!!!
It's brilliant to read magazines? He's a brilliant songwriter and entertainer, I'll give you that.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

This is a principle of 'direct knowing'. We humans are taught to tune out our direct knowing processes, to a great degree. And we are taught to value our logical 'thought' awareness. So many are unaware of (unconscious of) the depths of our experience that richly hang within and without us.
Our direct knowing processes, since they are receptive, are symbolically considered our feminine intelligences. We can integrate these vast and brilliant intelligences into our very lives, and doing so, achieve balance, wholeness, attunement to nature, and the glorious synergistic sense that goes with it!
