Your subconscious mind allows you to live freely. It allows you to feel like there is something wonderful going on. It is your unencumbered thought and imagination.
Your conscious mind acts as your security, your monitor, your public relations person. Things you are good at, passionate about, they become harder to get to as your conscious mind messes you about. Your conscious mind would have you believe you must act a certain way, appropriately for each situation.
Can you see?
Is your subconscious able to foresee the future or is it just good at predicting outcomes or is it just good at letting you know what you actually feel? Either of the last two could be called foreseeing the future, because one would never actually ‘see’ it.
Is it an ability to see the future or does it merely condition you to shape the future to your liking and/or expected outcome?
Expected outcome? Future? What is the actual difference between the two?
One may not be the same as the other, but if the expected outcome was based on very accurate observations and judgments, could it not be the same? Is that the limitation we must overcome to move forward?
Don’t limit yourself
Our conscious mind – remember? To consciously say or think we have limitations is a defense mechanism of the conscious mind, much like the defense mechanism kicking in when we need to lie about our true feelings to save face.
We cannot understand this situation well because we are very much immersed in it.
Just like you cannot see your forehead without a mirror, you cannot see your condition (of this defensive limiting) without an external guide or clue to gain you a different or greater perspective.
Who’s winning inside your head?

Excellent new blog.. love the posts!
I will keep an eye on this
Do you think the winning depends on what a person considers a priority? If a person thinks their public life is more important, than a conscious mind can be better according to your idea. Otherwise, the subconscious/unconscious mind can be the winner, because it can allows us, on a more powerful level in many/most cases, to be ourselves without wondering what others will think or see.
Bes: Yes, good point. I suppose what I was getting at is that we (I) could tap into our (my) subconscious thought more often than we (I) do now.
I don’t really believe there can or should be a winner, just more balance between the two.
Where can i get more info on this subject, i am intrigued to say the least. i have recently become seriously interested in this type of subject. I started with general neural pathways and NLP etc…. since then ive studied hypnotic states, body language, lucid dreaming and much more. Psychology realy does grab my attention but this is the latest diascovery for me and i would love to learn more, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
