Tales of amazing miracles emerging from the unconscious mind has made it a mysterious and often captivating entity. In this article however I am going to espouse why it may be your most notorious enemy.

What is stored in the unconscious mind? Well if you take a moment and reflect on this you'll recognise that the entire videotape you call your Life History is stored there in the form of a series of memories. Those memories aren't just memories. They significantly form and influence your current perception of yourself, others and your reality in the present moment.

Much of that information was however "downloaded" through the lens of a vulnerable and impressionable child consciousness. The child consciousness is heavily laden with fears of not surviving as children are biologically frail and vulnerable beings. As a result much of what they perceive is tinged with this negative veil. In many cases the experiences themselves are negative as in the case of neglect, abandonment, abuse, trauma, etc.

All of this gets stored within the unconscious mind but not without significant consequences in later life. These negative memories behave like what I have termed "emotional landmines" that erupt each and every time something in one's current life resembling the original experience triggers it. The triggers themselves may appear innocuous to someone else who may experience it concurrently but to that individual who sees it through the eyes of that early child they will essentially "see" and "feel" it again as it once was.

This creates a distorted reality experience in the moment and causes the individual to react in a manner that is unconsciously driven. Another way of saying this is that the unconscious negative programming in the form of negative memories is leaving them feeling vulnerable and out of control.

Sadly, those old memories occurred well in the past and in many cases have little or nothing to do with the present circumstances. As such they turn out to be a significant impediment to living fully and consciously in the moment. As they are unconsciously buried the unconscious mind effectively shields them from ever being completely exposed thus keeping them pervasively entrenched and inaccessible.

As you can begin to see the unconscious mind in this case is working against you and keeping you enslaved in a limited past reality.

There is a now a way to effectively make such negativity conscious thereby helping one completely "uninstall" it from within so that they can become fully conscious, empowered and the master of their own life in the present. This is akin to achieving the observer state that many strive for in their meditation practices.
