Abstract
This essay is about psychology. In part 1 we discuss detached ego conscious thinking and unconscious attached feeling. We argue that when looking into phenomena (e.g. a conflict) one should firstly focus on conscious reasoning and only look into unconscious motivations when the focus on consciousness fails. Towards the end of part 1 we touch on the point that hard thinking is not easy and therefore it is not surprising that much unconsciousness exists. We use the example of the difficulty of physics. Therefore we move on (in part 2) to discuss how one who is not a physicist might consciously approach the subject matter of the origins of the universe. Thus part 2 is concerned with demonstrating thinking as opposed to theorizing about it.
