Are we controlled by our subconsciousness?

in #mindfulness8 years ago (edited)

Often we really wish to change, want to and decide for it. But it is simply not working. As if it were something stronger than us. We promise to ourselves: I will start meditating, paying attention to my diet, start exercising, study more, stop mistreating my parents, stop talking bad things to kids, stop yelling and similar.

There is a lot decisions we are bringing tomorrow, and tomorrow always somehow becomes the same as today. Then we become fainthearted, we think we are weak, that our habits are stronger than us and that change is a privilege of stronger people, the ones with unbending power of will.

All this is a consequence of not understanding the power of subconsciousness. Only 5% of people act from the conscious level. The leftover 95% is conditioned by subconsciousness. That is why you give up easily. Still, everyday you bring a decision that starts from tomorrow. And tomorrow never comes.

Failure undermines our confidence the most. This is not your failure, only your ignorance about how things work. The mind is a program and the sooner you start referring to it as a computer, sooner you will get to know it better.

You are familiar with the wisdom: "Understand your enemy to defeat him". Subconsciousness literally acts separately from us. It is called subconsciousness because we are not aware of it. Everyone who thinks he is not controlled by it, is doing maybe the biggest error of his life. He overestimated himself, and underestimated subconsciousness. If you do the same with enemy, you are guaranteed to lose the war.

But the subconsciousness is not the real enemy. Everything that exists, is created to serve us. However, servant has become the master, and he is a bad ruler. When you realize that programs that are ingrained in your consciousness act independently from your conscious decisions, then you understand truly why you bring decisions which you can't abide.

When you turn on your computer, all installed programs are automatically run. That is why it is necessary to become aware of subconscious and consciously delete the programs and install new ones, which will serve you in the way you want them to. Plenty of things can help you with that. Meditation, affirmation, visualization, reading books, gathering new information as well as socializing with people that want the same as you do.

How long have you been writing lousy programs? You will have to make an effort writing new ones! This is a choice you make before every decision and it will serve you in the way of a real change. Don't be too harsh to yourself. It is not easy winning over 95% with mere 5%, but it is also not impossible. Percentage is gradually and steadily growing.

You actually want this, this is the game you came here for. When you win over yourself, you will realize the beauty and the power of victory as well as the meaning and the purpose of such creation. Also you will comprehend your power and omnipotence of the Source in you. Then you are becoming invincible, fear can do you no harm.

Isn't that victory worth the weight of every battle? Triumph is earned by your conscious choice to act in the way of change. In the same time, this is the only real test of your decision. Gifts that follow are most magnificent. Then we realize the power of spiritual experience. We understand everything.

"Be real - expect miracles."

Note: Take the meaning of entity Source in any way that suits you the best.

Thank you for reading.

The subconscious is what keeps the human body alive... the conscious, is the one that makes the decisions that can harm it...or not. Thanks for the article @eneismijmich

Hi,
I didn't read the article, but I have the feeling that the whole concept of subconsciousness is an entirely made up thing. My line of thought goes along the lines of pure immanence.
Best,
Alec
