What Are We Imprinting on Our Subconscious Mind!
Consciousness draws all its data from the subconscious. That is why the vision that guides our entire life comes from our subconscious. The subconscious is the part of our brain that operates outside our conscious awareness without us realizing it; it controls our involuntary muscles, ensures the functioning of our bodily systems even while we sleep at night, records everything we perceive through our five senses moment by moment, and places it at the disposal of the conscious mind for use when needed. Consciousness, on the other hand, is the human ability to recognize, perceive, comprehend, and become aware of oneself, one’s surroundings, and what is happening.
Like an Iceberg
Let’s imagine an iceberg; let’s call the 10 percent visible above the water the conscious mind, and the 90 percent remaining below the water the subconscious mind. While we may think of the conscious mind as the part where we analyze, make decisions, and examine every event in detail, the subconscious is the true source of power. It is where data is stored, where information resides, and where habits and biases are embedded.
From the moment we are born, we store the data we perceive through our five senses in our subconscious. Our thought patterns are shaped by this data. When an event occurs, we synthesize the data we have accumulated in our subconscious up to that point and respond with reactions that serve as solutions or answers. That is why we must be aware of what we are feeding into our subconscious.
We Can Control Our Thoughts
Let’s imagine a computer with no programs installed. We need programs to use it. We’ll also need other programs suited to our profession, hobbies, and personal interests. Otherwise, it won’t be possible for us to use this computer. Our brain works the same way. If we can program our subconscious mind through our awareness, we can make our brain work to steer our lives in the direction we desire.
Let me give an example to illustrate the power of the subconscious: Everything you see around you right now and in this world first took shape in a mind, was conceived, planned, and then created. For example, even the homes we live in were first designed and imagined; then the plans were put on paper, and they came into being. Everything that completes them—such as the windows—was made later… This means that everything that is created first passes through the mind.
If we can control, program, and consciously implant our thoughts into our brains, we can create the life we want.
