Regarding the Subconscious Mind and How Your Brain Works....
Hi Steemians!
The human brain is the most complicated organism in this entire creation, and its uniqueness and intricate design have been the subject of countless studies through the ages. It is an understatement to claim that the golden key to solving all of mankind’s problems solely resides on our knowledge and understanding of how the human brain works.
When it comes to the human brain, there are few things that scientists can unanimously agree on. One of those things is the division of the brain as a two-fold structure; the conscious mind and the subconscious mind.
I know what you are thinking.
Subconscious has always been a baffling topic to talk about. Its sheer complexity always makes it difficult to truly grasp and understand. But in this blog post, I am going to do my best to break down the science of subconsciousness and how you can utilize it to live a better life.
Let us first draw an analogy. If our brain is a giant iceberg, then our active consciousness is the tip of this iceberg, while most of it is hidden beneath the sea. Most of our brain operates unconsciously, and that is what we call the subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind is essentially a great database that is capable of permanently storing unlimited information chunks. Most of the time, we do not have access to this information. When triggered, your subconsciousness brings up the data that you need to process in order to do something.
Sometimes, the process happens so automatically that you don’t even fell the surge of your own thoughts and their true origins.
You can probably remember instances in your life when you have said something strange or done something that you didn’t expect, but could understand and relate to. Well, that is your subconscious which acts in accordance to the pattern that you have set for it since the moment you were born.
When you get to know someone, or have a conversation with your parents, or read a book, or watch a movie, every tiny fragment of the data you receive is stored in your subconscious mind.
Your conscious mind forgets these fragments after a while, but these bits and pieces are always stored in your subconsciousness.
Your subconscious mind is a powerful entity that you should never underestimate. Your true desires, dreams, beliefs, thoughts, and skills are all stored in the vast and unlimited database of your subconsciousness. The real function of this entity is to store data, and later retrieve that data in times of need.
It is essentially there to make sure that you respond to different things as you are programmed from birth.
Your subconscious mind does not operate objectively; It has no independence whatsoever. Imagine that your conscious mind is a gardener and the subconscious mind is the soil on which you can plant your seeds
In time, these seeds will grow and become your true identity. The process is sometimes cruel, inadvertent, and automatic.
That is why you need to be mindful of the things that you are in contact with every day, as they are all potential seeds for the future of your subconscious mind.
Your subconscious mind seeks consistency as a function to protect a pattern of your identity. These patterns can sometimes be your comfort zones. When you are facing something new in life, the subconscious mind fights back against the idea of adopting that novelty, and as a result, you receive anxiety and concern.
The reason behind this offensive approach is the fact that the novelty is an alien in the realm of the patterns that have shaped your identity throughout your life. The subconscious mind struggles to preserve that identity as best as it can, so it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Your commitment to this pattern is what makes it so hard to break your habits. When you think about it, you do not feel an urgent and conscious need for them, but your subconscious is fighting day and night to preserve the habits that fall in with the pattern of your identity.
In this sense, the subconscious mind is both a weapon and a tool for those that seek success and tranquility in life. If you plant the right seeds in the soil of your subconsciousness, you will eventually get to see their fruitfulness as new habits shape within the realm of your identity.
Be wary of the subconscious mind. Be mindful of the things that you interact with every day. Your subconscious is constantly gathering and storing data, and these chunks of information are seeds that will in time become a part of your identity. It is difficult to shake off some of these habits, but we do know that our conscious mind can bend subconsciousness to its will and command.
In this mindfulness of both consciousness and subconsciousness, you begin to understand that you can both shape and break habits and turn your identity to your ideal self.
With the power and capabilities of the human brain, we are indeed the writers of our own life and destiny. A BIG HUG! ============================ Important Note!

Subconscious is a really difficult thing to understand. One of the things that bother me the most about minds is how difficult it is to change one's nature. First, it is difficult enough to NOTICE, to realize what's going on. To be conscious about ourselves, aptitudes, fears an such. But even when you are able to see yourself a little bit clear, it is amazingly difficult to transform it. If it's something that's hurting you and you don't want it anymore... It's never enough to just be conscious about it. The will to change is also hard to get. Minds are tricky, your subconscious is a smart as you are, sometimes even smarter, it always enters through the back door. It's annoying.
Hypnotherapy is based on this I think. Well said

Wow. Just wow! I'm still kind of new here and just like a sponge, soaking it in and it's difficult understanding it all....but I want to thank you for doing what you're doing (I don't even know what to call it). I think the steemit community is pretty darned amazing and I am learning new things every day.
I've had some personal issues interrupting my time here, but please know I'm devoting all the time possible to steemit and trying to fit in someplace! Trying to learn about what steemit is and what we are all here trying to make it something special. I mean, steemit already IS special--and it can be so much more--I can't even imagine!
But I'm sure a lot of you can imagine it. I'm still learning. I'm still the sponge......
Thank you.
Imagine the possibilities when we consider that we only use a small portion of our brain’s capacity! These are the signs that we can achieve anything we out our minds to!

@nevlu123 I'm glad with your comment, and you'll still see a lot more. The more our list goes, the more people you will have between them. Our goal here is to make everyone have 50 upvotes between people then let's go to 100. Regards
Friend @chbartist, you have explained this hard puzzle in very simple words.
This is not easy to understand.
Our subconscious mind acts like an auto pilot system, it's like a program but it is operated by our conscious mind.

Subconscious is not really difficult, the big thing is that we don´t know how to use it.
Everything put or introduce something in our mind like subliminal message, it can be by reading, listening, watching a movie...
We also can learn a language like a children or a baby without speak, that is the most incredible thing.
Actually we don't know how our brain works, that is the reality.
Brain is a huge mystery but it is the most incredible we can explore ..!!
Thanks a lot for this post @chbartist you´re amazing..
The subconscious mind things works for a baby visibly.
I always try to do something positive or say something positive when we got a complex situation at home and try to teach my little one passively. I wish this could help him to grow as a good man with a rich heart.
If we really could do that what you are saying then I am wondering how different we would be from now.
But all my not capable to do that much deeply. It is hard to do and practice. As we are very much focused on our material world.
Thanks for the great post.

@chbartist in Hindi we have two types of mind "Chetan " "Avchetan ". If clearly we say then it means one is positive thinner and other is negative. But depends on you which mind you use more according to that you will get results.
