Our mind can be thought of as being divided into two major parts: the
conscious mind and the subconscious mind. In our computer age, we
can analogize the two parts of the mind to a computer model by
considering the subconscious mind as the hardware of the computer;
storing, processing and remembering information, and the conscious
mind as the software which uses the hardware (the subconscious mind)
to accomplish its tasks (day to day existence), while being unable to
operate without it.
This is not to imply that we have two minds. We do not. The mind
is a single, unified whole. However, two very distinct levels do exist,
each with specific and unique functions and responsibilities.
The subconscious mind contains and controls our emotions,
feelings, creativity, curiosity, memories, habits and what we have
learned from each of our experiences. The subconscious mind is also
responsible for all of the involuntary functions that keep us alive, such
as respiration, digestion, circulation, elimination, hormones, nerve
responses, survival, etc., as well as our involuntary muscle movements.
This is perhaps the most important function of the subconscious mind,
its ability to automatically control all of our bodily functions. A direct
result of this automation is the power our subconscious programming
has to directly affect our health, both physical and emotional.
The subconscious is the dominant part of our mind,
encompassing 95% or more of our mind throughout our entire lives.
However, despite its size and power, the vast majority of us are not
even aware of its existence.
At the time of our birth, only the subconscious mind exists, as the
conscious mind has not yet developed. Even before we are born, the
subconscious mind is active and working, absorbing information,
directing our lives, and forming beliefs from within the womb.
Once we enter the world, our subconscious mind continues to
absorb information without criticizing its content, accuracy or validity. It
simply accepts everything that is experienced as true and valid, and
retains the memory and teaching of that experience as a series of
beliefs. This is why we say children are “impressionable”: all offered
input is uncritically accepted.
