Knowing All About The Subconscious Mind
Written by Greg Frost
I think it is an interesting mechanic to actually know how the subconscious mind actually works, and in this case, we are here to look at how the brain and unconscious mind actually work together to form a perfect partnership of memory and function. One of the good things about knowing this is that you are more than able to understand the functions of the mind, and see how you are going to use your own internal processes, your own ingenuity and of course, the technology that is all around you to be able to enhance the power of your subconscious mind, and in turn, your life.
For one thing, the subconscious mind is the one that remembers everything, and this is done through the power of association. To fully understand just how powerful this association is, we need to track back to when you were a child, and understand that the way you behave and how you are today, are all set in subconscious stone to when you were associating images and emotions, experiences and feelings and stimulation and reactions, all when you were a small child, and this is the true power, because it has not left your mind since.
To give you an example of this, let us take the very well known example of the bicycle. Imagine if you will that you have learned it once, been able to master the balances necessary to get the bicycle going. Now when this happens, what is going on in your subconscious mind is that now it is associating the muscle balances necessary, using the centre of gravity, the motions you are going through, the confidence you have developed and instilling all that as an association of riding a bike. Now this gets ingrained into your unconscious mind quite a bit.
Even if you have never touched a bike for 30 years, your subconscious still has that memory stored, and all it needs to do to actually reactivate all the knowledge you have and the associations needed to control and ride the bike, is for you to actually get on your seat and start pedalling. You see, no one really doesn’t know how to ride bike. Your mind just has to get used to the idea. When talking about pure science, anyone can ride the bike, attain velocity and balance can be achieved, but the thing is, we are not mechanical and when introduced to something new, the subconscious mind must get used to it first before you can truly master it.
So this is just a little information on how the subconscious mind really works. While this is a pretty rudimentary way to explain on the systems of the subconscious mind, it gives you a better picture of how it really manages to control the way we think and how we make sense of the world. If you need more information, there is always the internet, chocked full of good information on the subconscious mind and how it works in its mysterious ways.
