Our consciousness has a lot to do with the way that we respond to other people or situations. Our life experiences have a strong indication on how we will handle future situations.
James states, "They certainly follow or accompany our brain states, and of course their special forms are determined by our past experiences and education" (pg.7). Our past experiences will determine how we handle other parts of our lives.In my education, I tend to enjoy math because my third grade teacher, Mrs. Bass, spent time explaining math problems to me and my classmates. She loved math and it showed in the ways that she presented her lessons each day. My love for math extends from my past experience with a great math teacher.
We all tend to look at our future to see if our past has an effect on how we handle our present situations. How would you respond to education if most of your teachers hated the subject and they did not make you feel like you could learn in their course. How would you respond (consciously) if you were in a environment where you felt that you could not learn the material?
