The Power of Subconscious Mind

As researchers learn more about the brain, the power of subconscious mind is becoming more evident.

Subconscious mind powers are many times more powerful and responds faster than the conscious mind.

Your unconscious knows when something is going to happen a half-second before your conscious mind does.

People over six years old operate from unconscious levels of mind approximately 95% of the time.

Children five years old and under rarely use conscious processes at all. Their brain wave patterns are associated with hypnosis and pre-sleep.

This means they are on 'auto-pilot' and that they readily download programs based on observations of others into their subconscious minds. Unless consciously changed, these programs run the show for the rest of their lives.

The unconscious mind is not under the control of the conscious mind. It operates without or "below" conscious awareness.

Freudians call the subconscious mind the unconscious. Others call it the superconscious. The region of the brain above the brain stem controls many subconscious processes.

How Does the Subconscious Mind Work?

The subconscious mind runs all your automatic body processes controls all your automatic learned behaviors. Information coming in from the outside world and the conscious mind is filtered through subconcious mind processes. Here it is correlated to patterns of past experiences and the programmed beliefs stored within.

When you yell at someone before you can stop yourself, that's the subconscious mind acting from learned patterns. It drives the car when our conscious mind drifts off.

You learn how to walk with your conscious mind, but once the behavior is fully learned, you no longer need to think about it. The subconscious now controls the act of walking unless you decide to consciously control your steps. When you forget to keep thinking about it, the subconscious mind resumes control.

The subconscious mind does not think or make moral judgments. It only knows what it has been taught and holds the beliefs you have about yourself and the world to be true. It directs your thoughts and actions according to its programming as a means of keeping you safe. This holds true even if you consciously know that something is not for your immediate or ultimate good.

The subconscious mind does not argue or think. It takes the information you give it and once received, accepts it as truth. It acts on it like an obedient servant. It will work to make that information correct for you. The power of the subconscious mind works to make your right.

Unfortunately, since it is also a function of the brain to focus on the negative, this is what you notice and eventually receive unless you change your programming. This explains why the things you fear something strongly enough often come to pass.

Have you ever noticed that people tend to date the same type of person over and over, just in a different body, this is why. They are in 'harmonic resonance', just like an instrument that sounds when another instrument plays at the same frequency or vibration.

Through the power of subconscious mind, your beliefs are projected into the quantum field as electromagnetic thought waves. Thought is energy, just like everything else.

The energy of your thoughts and beliefs draws to you circumstances and people to match their vibrational qualities. And so it is true that "like attracts like."

If you want to change what you are attracting, you need to change your subconscious programming.
