The Secret Realm of Our Subsconscious

Our mind is a complex mechanism that records, stores and processes huge amounts of information every single day of our lives. Where does all this information go? We certainly do not remember each and every thing that passes us by and yet most of us are able to recall the minutest of details if required. The human mind is divided in to conscious and the subconscious minds - the conscious mind is the active memory where details related to our day to day lives are stored and the otal subconscious mind deals with long term memory.  

What is the Subconscious?
Subconscious comprises of 90% of the human mind, where as the conscious mind is only 10% . Therefore, the subconscious is more powerful than the conscious mind, which has all the logic, thinking and intellect. The subconscious has no logic or intellect. It function on the basis of instinct and whatever beliefs and ideas that have seeped in subconscious. It does not have the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong or acceptable and unacceptable behavior or thought. Due to this lack of judgment, if a belief becomes deep-seated in the subconscious, it is very difficult to convince a person to believe otherwise.

The Subconscious carries within itself eternal memory - everything that the human race has gone though over billions of years is believed to be stored under the deep, dark folds of the subconscious. It will be difficult for people to carry on their daily lives if they had to carry the burden of memories of millions of years. Therefore, all these ancient memories remain forgotten and buried and surface only when need arises. 
    
The Subconscious Mind
The subconscious mind is where all everything is neatly filed and stored and can be accessed or rather recalled anytime. However, this is not our active memory, which is why, usually a trigger is required to invoke any memory or detail. This function is just like a computer’s memory - in order to access any file where a particular data is stored, you must know the file name to choose, open and then access the data stored there. Similarly, the subconscious mind suddenly flashes certain memories that got triggered through some event. This what is known as ’jogging the memory’.

For example, you may be in a bookstore and suddenly a particular book cover reminds you of a kindergarten schoolmate. The memory of this schoolmate was probably triggered because the shade of purple used on the book cover is exactly of the same shade  that this classmate used to wear.
 
Is there a Superconscious?
If is a baser side to consciousness, known as unconsciousness, then why should there not be a superconscious? The superconscious is complete consciousness, without any divides. It is aligned with the cosmos and on this level both intellect and instinct merge to become intuition - ’the inner tutor’. At this stage, the conscious is one with the universe and all duality is non-existent and there is a sense of completeness.  

Universal Mind, Universal Consciousness and Collective Consciousness are all name given to the phenomenon of becoming identified with the ineffable Source from we have come. The Source and the Being do not remain as two different entities but resonate with the same superconsciouness.
