SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
SET PART-1
It is actually
known to everyone that every action starts with a thought and this guides us
and helps us to traiter with life on its own terms.
When are
supposed to make decisions we use our brain to think and reason about what
we
are dealing so
we can come to some good attainment that is most beneficial to ourselves
and
hopefully to
those around us. It never matter what our stand in life may be, we all utilize
the similar
path that allows
us to make decisions by what we encounter with, see or hear.
If we
think bad thoughts, bad things attracts towards us. If we think good thoughts,
good things attracts towards us.
The way of
thinking comes from our consciousness.
It dictates the
way we think and reason about what has happened in our life
and has a direct
impact on the outcome of whatever problem or issue we happen
to face. This
conscious level controls how we accept our surroundings at any given
time. But
did you know that the conscious level of the mind is only involved in what
we
perceive? That’s right. The conscious level only takes in what the eyeballs and
ears
take in and initially store that information. However, the process does not
end there,
for another step is involved.
There is another
level of the brain that has more control over our thoughts than the
conscious
level does. This is the subconscious. The subconscious is what really
processes
our thoughts that come into our conscious mind. The subconscious mind
takes
those thoughts and processes them for us to act on. The final process is
delivered
to our conscious mind in the form of feedback that we interpret as our
thoughts. These
thoughts also direct our emotions. As you can see the thought
process is very
powerful.
When these
thoughts come to our conscious mind, they may or may not be in
harmony with our
programming – programming that was ingrained into us when
we were little
ones. This is programming we received starting at the day of our birth. And so
we may reject some thoughts because of our limited beliefs.
But what exactly
is the subconscious mind? You can think of the subconscious mind
as
something like a computer. When you first purchase a computer you have the
hardware
that allows it to function the way it was intended. You have the box the
CPU is
stored in, the monitor, keyboard, mouse, CD or DVD drive, and hard drive.
Everything
is there and in place. There is one problem, though.
Without
the operating system that computer is worthless.
The operating
system is a set of written code, or instructions if you will, that controls
all the
hardware on your system. As soon as the operating system is installed on
your
computer, suddenly it works and you can now use it for whatever your purpose
was when
you turned it on. Plus, you can add more programming to it so it can
perform
all sorts of different functions besides the basics it came with. When
you
perform a task,
you are doing it without thinking about what the computer is doing.
However,
the computer is constantly sending electronic signals back and forth just
so you can
use that software. You are not conscious of it, but it works.
The mind works
the same way. You have the conscious mind, which as stated
hear
sounds that are interpreted as thoughts in our consciousness. If you compare
the
conscious to the computer, the conscious would be a text editor.
You bring
it up on your screen and start typing a document. As we type the words
on the
screen, we are constantly making decisions as to what to say,
if the format is
right, the spelling is correct, etc. In our brain, our conscious is the
decision maker
to a degree. It takes in all our input and tells the subconscious
when to go to
work to process that input. After the subconscious mind does what it
needs to
do, the conscious mind reacts to the results the subconscious mind
produces
then decides what to do next and feeds that information to the subconscious
for
processing.
If you compare
the subconscious mind to the computer, it is the operating system.
It
contains all our memory, habits, beliefs, personality, and more. The
subconscious
mind also
controls the body. It will store information and act on it. The subconscious
acts on whatever
it is given by using predefined instructions (just as an operating
system does)
that basically tells it what to do and how to do it. Of course, the body
itself is the
output of the computer, or the screen. It responds to the programming by
doing or
reacting to what was intended by the subconscious mind. And what is awesome
about this whole endeavor is that it does all this automatically.
Therefore, the
mind has two areas or functions – the conscious and subconscious.
Without these,
we would be just like a computer without the operating system – a box
of hardware that
does absolutely nothing. This is why conditioning or feeding the
subconscious
mind the correct input is vital to our existence.
