1 Brain and 2 terms - Conscious and Subconscious



 As the name suggests human can only have 1 brain but that brain is subdivided into two phases-the "conscious" and  the "subconscious" mind.You must remember that conscious  and subconscious are not two minds.They are merely two spheres of activity within one mind.Your conscious mind is your reasoning mind.It is the phase that chooses.For example,you choose your books,your home and partners in life.You make all your decisions with your conscious mind.On the other hand,without any conscious choice on your part,your heart is kept functioning automatically,and the vital functions of digestion,circulation and breathing are carried on by your subconscious mind through processes independent of your conscious mind.
            Your subconscious mind accepts what is impressed upon it or what you consciously believe.It does not reason things out as your conscious mind does and it does not argue controversially.Your subconscious mind is like a bed of soil that accepts any kind of seed,good or bad.Your thoughts are active;they are seeds.Negative,destructive thoughts continue to work negatively in your subconscious mind.Sooner or later,they will emerge and take shape as an outer experience that corresponds to their content.
             You need to keep in mind that your Subconscious mind never argue or does not engage in proving whether your thoughts are good or bad,or they should be carried out or not.It also does not point out whether your thoughts are true or false,as it does not have the ability to distinguish between what is appropriate and what is not.It can only corresponds with the nature of your thoughts or the suggestion you give to it.Let me illustrate this with an example,so let say you are think of something continuously without limiting yourself,does not matter if it is true or false,your subconscious mind will eventually accept it as true and proceed to bring about results that must necessarily follow because you consciously assumed it to be true.
             Psychologists have performed countless experiments on people who are in hypnotic trance.Their research show clearly that the subconscious mind does not make the selections and comparisons that are necessary for a reasoning process.Your subconscious mind will accept any suggestions,however false.Your subconscious mind accepts that thought and start working to react accordingly.To highlight their experiment,they showed that if they suggested one of the hypnotic trance people that she is Adolf hitler or even cat or dog,the subject will act upon the pan with 100% accuracy.Her personality becomes changed for the time being.She believes herself to be whatever the psychologists were telling her she is.
           These simple illustration portray the difference between your conscious,reasoning mind and your subconscious mind,which is impersonal,non-selective and accepts as true whatever your conscious mind believes to be true.Hence the importance of selecting thoughts,ideas and premises that bless,heal,inspire and fill your soul with joy.So now you might be aware of the fact that you are the captain of your soul and the master of your fate.Remember,you have the capacity to choose. Chooselife! Choose love! Choose health! Choose happiness!
