The Universal Basic Unconsciousness Detector

by Timothy Thompson

Wouldn't it be great if we could get immediate feedback about when the mind shuts itself off and we go unconscious to ourselves and our communications with others? Wouldn’t that save a lot of grief and potential problems if we could say to ourselves, “Hey wait a minute, I’m beginning to drop off now. I’ll wake up when there’s a version of reality playing that I can relate to.”? Wouldn’t it be useful to be have a built-in unconsciousness meter somewhere in our brains that would alert us to when we go unconscious and when others do the same?

What if such a device were capable of functioning even in the absence of snoring or REMs? After all, plenty of people go unconscious while still awake—a kind of zombie-like condition where speech, hand gestures, body posture, and facial signals still function as though the person were fully awake and conscious. Politicians go unconscious like this a lot. Talking heads on the evening news and game show hosts are masters at this deception. Religious zealots and others controlled by various ideologies are slightly more dangerous examples of persons who have mastered the art of going unconscious.

Don’t despair—now there’s hope!

Every human being actually does have such a device factory installed, calibrated, and ready for use. It’s called a Universal Basic Unconsciousness Detector or U-BUD for short. It doesn’t slice, dice, chop, or do anything useful in the kitchen. However, It’s perfect for those light-hearted conversations with your boss, those easy going differences of opinion with your spouse, and those heart-warming audits with your IRS agent.

Just think of the possibilities!

Your U-BUD can provide endless hours of fun for the whole family.
Take your U-BUD to meetings and family outings. Bring it with you on those long trips in the car. Why struggle with unconsciousness any longer? Now, with your very own U-BUD, you don’t have to. You’ll know instantly when unconsciousness takes hold and your reality begins to flicker. Your friends and neighbors will be amazed and want a U-BUD of their own.

But wait, there’s more!

Act now by ordering your own U-BUD during the next 10 minutes and we’ll send you another U-BUD for free. That’s right—one for you and one to keep as a spare or to give to that someone special. Now you and your partner will never have to put up with unconsciousness again. You’ll be able to remain conscious at all times and—best of all—help others remain conscious too!

In addition, if you order your U-BUD in the next 10 minutes, you’ll receive one more free of charge AND you’ll get a handy guide with 25 real-life examples of What to Look For When You or Someone You Know Goes Unconscious. Suitable for hanging on the wall in your den or framing for the office, this guide is a perfect way to remind yourself how unconsciousness can strike. Yours free of charge if you order now.

Your U-BUD really exists and is ready for use.
Believe it or not, each of us has a kind of Universal Basic Unconsciousness Detector hardwired into our brains. Deep down, we know when something is not true or when buttons get pushed that trigger an egoic reaction to what someone is saying, how they’re acting, or what our reactions are.

We may find ourselves doing this hundreds even thousands of times a day as we catch ourselves reacting to things and using old tapes, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. We automatically think “crook” when we see someone in prison garb proclaiming his innocence, or think “nice man” when a smiling sleazebag claims to be entitled to millions of other people’s money.

We believe that our religious traditions are the ones most correct. We ignore all the signs that point to failed systems and broken dreams because we don’t want to consider the distressing truth. We automatically reach for a cigarette or a drink or a handful of potato chips when we experience momentary stress no matter how minute. We accept that our government has no hidden agendas and always does the right thing.

Unconsciousness is everywhere, including ourselves. Watch for the telltale signs in others and you will learn to detect them in yourselves. You don’t need an infomercial solution. You have your very own U-BUD and its been part of you since you were born. Learn how to use it in your own life and teach your kids how to use theirs.

The goal is not to keep from going unconscious—which is after all, utterly impossible all the time and under all circumstances—the goal is to be truly awake, alert, and aware as much as you possibly can in your daily life. If everyone could simply be conscious say 10 percent more on a day-to-day basis, how different the world would be! How much harder it would be for those who count on manipulating us when we’re unconscious! How much easier it would be for us to truly resolve our misunderstandings and disagreements.
