What is the Subconscious Mind

Many people are perplexed and constantly asking the question: what is the subconscious mind.

I understand the confusion. I was perplexed about it too. There is so much information from old books, social media and any other source under the sun.

That being said, I will not refer to any other model of what the subconscious is but I will share my ideas about it in a very practical way.

Before we know what the subconscious is we need to understand what the conscious mind is! I’m not impressed by ideas of awareness level between the tho minds but how the conscious mind works.

The conscious mind takes decisions, observes things in life, lives in the present moment - here and now and it is very logical. The conscious mind is the awareness of ourselves and it experiences events and situations in this world.

After we have clarified what the conscious mind is - it is time to delve into the mystery of the subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is an interesting phenomena - I would say because at the time of its discovery - science didn’t accept it and didn’t think there was such a thing.

The subconscious mind is the container of our memories. Through the conscious mind and other unknown channels it stores our memories in a central bank or many small units and when a stimulus arises - the memories are called back to the attention of our conscious mind.

The subconscious mind wants and desires things in life as it lives in a sea of memories.

To get what it wants - it could find provocative memories and thoughts to overwhelm the conscious mind. Then, the conscious mind is taking decisions and making choices which sometimes are contradictory to the life of a particular individual.

You could ask - who experiences states of mind such as joy, sadness, anger, happiness - me, the conscious mind or the subconscious?

I think - the answer is a bit more complicated than it looks like?

My answer to this question will be the subconscious mind is the one responsible but it needs the corporation of the conscious mind.

The subconscious contains our dreams, hopes and inspirations and helps the conscious mind to work in a positive direction if we allow it to do so.

There is something very special here - a magical being which lives in the middle of the border between the conscious mind and the subconscious. In order to understand or gain clarity later in the book - it is important to know this magical being. And not only this but how to find ways to heal this special being.
