[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6OV4nCS3NWac/en/consciousness-and-radical-change-gradual-or-instant?t=38) And we are going to examine together the question of what is hidden in the consciousness, the deeper layers of the mind, which is generally called the unconscious.

[2:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6OV4nCS3NWac/en/consciousness-and-radical-change-gradual-or-instant?t=142) Therefore, it is imperative, absolutely essential, that he change.
