What
are the levels of human mind? What is the relation of
different levels of human mind?
|
Human
mind is a very complex entity. Sometimes we think about
one thing, while doing something
completely different. Sometimes we do something, without
thinking. This lack of alignment within personality is
caused by the fact that human mind is working in
different levels that are related, but they are
sometimes in conflict.
There
are three levels of the human mind: Unconscious mind,
Subconscious mind an Conscious mind.
First
level is the Unconscious mind. This level of human mind
holds the control of the basic functions of the human
body, breathing, heart beating, digestion, reflexes, ...
Basically, it controls all automatic functions, without
need to think about it. Though, by conscious will we can
influence some of these functions.
Second
level is Subconscious mind. This level contains all
knowledge, experience, habits, beliefs and attitudes
toward life. What ever we met and learned in our life is placed in
this level, in our personal library. Every second of
your life is recorded in this segment of mind. Your
subconscious mind is enabler or prohibitory, depending
what you adopted as your attitude toward something. If
you placed belief that you can not drive a bicycle, than
you will not be able to drive it, since your
subconscious mind tells you that you can not do it.

| Third
level of human mind is the Conscious mind. This is
analytical part of the mind that analysis all data
that comes in. Also this part of mind is filtering
information that comes to the subconscious mind.
Actually, the Conscious mind is aligned with what
is already formed as attitude or belief in
Subconscious mind. If the new information is in
conflict with information that is already stored
in Subconscious mind, the Conscious mind tends to
block that information. This is why people seem to
be difficult to change. More information already
stored in Subconscious mind makes new information
that is in conflict with current information to be
rejected.
Of
course everybody can change. It takes time effort
and application of certain techniques. These
techniques can be hypnosis, mantra, suggestive
message received repeatedly, or simply a sudden
event with the strong impact to the beliefs stored
in subconscious mind. Basically, all of these
techniques are bypassing the filter of the
conscious mind and entering directly to the
subconscious mind.

For
example, person that does not know how to drive the
bicycle, due to strong belief that cannot drive the bike
under any circumstances, can beat this belief by
autosuggestion. A positive thinking about driving the
bicycle, "Yes, I can drive the bike" repeated
over and over can gradually change the belief system
toward goal required. The process cannot go by force.
The process needs to be gradual and persistent. During
the whole process it is important to distract the
blockers from the conscious mind. Simply breathing or
counting can relax the body and conscious mind. The mind
then enter the suggestive state when the new ideas can
enter the subconscious mind, which can lead to creation
of a new beliefs, or gradual alteration of current
beliefs.
The
guidance of trained hypnotist can ease and accelerate
this process. But whether you work on your belief system
by your self or with assistance, the process should go
gradually without pushing. There is no such a
autosuggestion or hypnotherapy that can change your
attitude if you resist.
