Meaning of ‘association’

Hello, everyone,

“ ... So we can say that for the most part, the self is not divided by some line between a conscious and a nonconscious self. Rather, the self is created by nonconscious processes, as well as by the selective associations of these processes into something we call “consciousness.” To put it another way, we are much, much more than our conscious processes.“

Would anyone help me with following questions?;

  1. what is the similar word for the ‘association’ in above context,
  2. with which word the ‘into’ above is connected (I guess, <associate> something <into> something).

That is some deep stuff. It is not very clear to a person coming in cold like this. For one thing, I know what the conscious mind is, and I know what the unconscious mind is, and I know what the subconscious mind is, but you will have to define the nonconscious mind for me.

  • Weren't there enough varieties of consciousness already?

deepcosmoswith which word the ‘into’ above is connected (I guess, associate something into something).

Either 'associate' or 'create' is possible. I'd go with 'create' if I had to choose.
