The subconscious mind is a highly complex topic, so there is no simple way for you to understand or deal with your subconscious mind. There are many teachings (in psychology, self-help and spirituality) that will tell you that they have a simple and easy program for helping you overcome all your problems. However, once you begin to understand the subconscious mind, you will see why there is no quick-fix. You will also, however, see that there is a viable long-term path to transcendence.
There’s no doubt about it, your mind is a powerful organ. But most leading psychoanalysts break your brain into two major categories: your conscious mind and your subconscious mind. Your conscious mind is for waking thought, it is responsible for critical thinking, making daily judgments, and deciding what decisions to make and actions to take.
The subconscious mind most of the time, it’s abilities are frozen, or a person is unaware of the actions of thoughts taking place just below the level of consciousness. Your subconscious is the place where painful or traumatic memories are stored (or repressed in an effort to protect you) and where impulses and instincts originate. It is the impulses and instincts that, when honed, enhanced and given their day in the sun, can truly help you become a more self-aware person that leads a life of truth and that knows what he/she truly wants.
The subconscious mind is also highly suggestible. Various recent studies have proved this. This idea started way back in 1957 when a theater owner in New Jersey started flashing the words Drink Coke and Eat Popcorn well below the level of perception, as theater goers watched their movies. Sales of the food and beverage skyrocketed. Advertising specialists have been using this method (subliminal advertising) ever since.
Science has shown that most of your decisions, actions, emotions and behavior depend on the brain activity that is beyond your conscious awareness, which means that 95 – 99% of your life comes from the programming in your subconscious mind.
Look at your mind like an iceberg. A small tip is aware and active, and everything unconscious is actually supporting your activities, including your conscious thoughts and emotions. Your subconscious mind rules your life and is the underlining programming for all of your activities.
The most important thing about the subconscious mind you need to know is that it is always “on”. That is, it is active day and night, regardless of whether you are doing. The subconscious mind controls your body. You cannot hear this silent inner process with your conscious effort. You need to start taking care of your subconscious mind. It is vital to maintain your mind in a state of expectation of only good events and make the usual mode of your thinking based solely on loyalty, justice and love.
