We are said to have two minds.

The conscious mind The subconscious mind (unconscious mind)

The term preconscious mind also exists but is similar to the Conscious mind

Term proposed by an Austrian neurologist and Psychoanalyst named FREUD

Empirical evidence suggests that the UC phenomena includes repressed feelings, automatic skills, subliminal messaging, habits, hidden phobias, desires etc.

Conscious vs. Unconscious

Conscious mind controls the activities like awakening, walking, talking, driving, everything that you do while you are conscious or awake. Unconscious mind in fact controls more than the conscious mind. Your autonomous activities, feelings, behavior, your memory, desires, experiences etc. etc.

This pic of an iceberg is usually used to describe how much we are under the influence of our subconscious

Some concepts by JUNG

CARL GUSTAV JUNG divided unconscious mind into two subdivisions 1. Personal unconsciousness- Reservoir of material that was once conscious but later suppressed or forgotten. 2. Collective- The unconscious that is said to be inherited and contain material of an entire species.

This presentation bends more towards spirituality.

A well-known statement about UC mind states The treasure house is within you. Look within yourself to find the answers to your hearts desires. This topic cannot be explained properly using definitions and concepts. It can only be explained properly using examples and your own experiences.

 The best way to understand the subconscious mind is to look at the example of the person who wants to learn how to drive a car. At the beginning he wouldn't be able to hold a conversation with anyone while driving as he would be focusing on the different moves involved. That's because he's still using his conscious mind to drive.

The subconscious mind; your Autopilot!

Few weeks later driving becomes a natural habit that happens automatically without needing to think about it. That person could even start using his cell phone or talking to his friends while driving. This happened because the driving habit has been transferred to his subconscious mind and so the conscious mind become free. This allowed him to use it to talk in his cell phone.

 The subconscious mind is responsible for the automatically triggered feelings and emotions that you suddenly experience upon facing a new situation. If you were about to give a presentation then all the fear and anxiety feelings you might experience are in fact launched and controlled by your subconscious mind. The conscious mind is, on the other hand, responsible for logic, calculations and all actions that are performed while you are conscious.

 All the things around you, that your consciousness has noticed fully or partially are stored in your brain by your subconscious mind. These memories are analyzed by it and expressed in your actions, behavior and emotions. It may be the lyrics of any music, any sort of your emotions, even the words in this presentation, a new language that you have heard. So the question arises that why dont you remember all these things?? Why cant you retrieve all the these memories whenever you need them??

You may have heard somewhere that you use only some part of your brain, the rest remains unused. The subconscious has full control over your brain and memories. All you need is the access to those memory slots in your brain. It may be anything, like becoming a master in chess or violin or learning various languages. Once you learn to control your subconscious, all will seem to be magical.

Sheldon Cooper. Shown to have an eidetic memory.

Eddie Morra, shown to have full access to his brain.

Sherlock Shown to have his memory palace.

Inception

Where people are shown to build cities and structures in their dreams.

Do they seem fake??

Are such amazing abilities impossible? Then watch these people:

Jacob Barnett (12)

IQ 170 more than that of Einstein. Found out an error in the theory of relativity

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Started composing from the age of 5

Pablo Picaso

Started making excellent paintings from the age of 15

Bobby Fischer

Won the Chess championship at the age of 14

 These people did those things that seem to be impossible or rather magical to us. The reason is that, they knowingly or unknowingly had a good control over their sub- consciousness or indirectly their brain.

Relation with dreams

Repeating the statement that the subconscious mind never sleeps. Rather many say that it works more better when you are sleeping. It tries to link all the memories and emotions that are stored in your brain.

 The thoughts that are suppressed by your conscious or repeated by it many times easily penetrate into your subconscious mind. Thus if you are thinking about something very seriously or repeating it several times, you most probably have that thing in your dreams. So why so those things come in your dream that you had never thought throughout the day?

 The answer is that your subconscious had somehow served that thought and it was doing an analysis on it during the night. Many great problems were solved in dreams.

Kekule solved the Benzene structure problem in his dream.

Otto Leowi dreamed of an experiment that would prove once and for all that transmission of nerve impulses was chemical, not electrical.

The Beatles
The famous tune YESTERDAY came to Paul McCartney in a dream.

Relation with emotions

The more you repeat or think about negative ideas or feelings , discouraging thoughts etc, they easily enter your subconscious. Subconscious doesnt bother whether the thought is good or bad. It simply processes it. This leads to amplification of such thoughts. Which shows effect on your behavior, emotions, actions etc.

 Thus, the more you think negatively, the more negative your actions become. Hence, when someone is in anger, you insert angry thoughts into your UC mind which leads to actions that you may regret later. Hence its always advisable to have good thoughts in your mind.

This is how, Subconscious mind plays a great role in many of your activities. So, is it possible to reprogram your mind in a proper direction to live a better life ?? The answer is yes. Hypnotism.

Hypnotism : Access your subconscious.

Have you ever wondered why a hypnotist makes one sleep before performing his act?? The reason is to minimize the physical interruptions. So that his commands are directly penetrated into ones subconscious.

 Consider your brain as a computer. Hypnotism helps in reprogramming that computer, by inserting various positive orders, confidence boosting orders etc in it. Hypnotism can also be used to recall the memories which you cant access in your conscious, but which are stored in your subconscious. The power of subconscious mind is so enormous that it can make your muscles stiff within a few moments. Dont believe?

Its not fake

With the help of few orders , by hypnotism, the subjects body can be made so stiff that one can literally stand on it.

 If your physical characteristics can be changed, then whats big in changing your character, your personality? What cannot be done? A strong hold over your subconscious can change your entire psychological behaviour. It can lead to a better and an improved life. This power cant be neglected, rather Id say that it SHOULD NOT be neglected.
