Before we start, we need to understand what kind of mind is the subconscious mind and to summarize it, it is a mind that is hidden behind the logical mind or the aware mind that is within us.The thing about us all is that we view the subconscious mind just as a harmless term to us and there is no way we will find out more unless we find materials to read up on.At the adult stage of life, the subconscious mind is pretty inactive in the sense that it does not take the lead in learning anymore; it just uses and recycles the instructions that are already within the mind and uses them from there.
Now that you are an adult, you get to make more sense of the world around you and from there you can use your logic and critical thought processes to make decisions and you do not need to be protected. Why is the subconscious mind a form of protection, well we are here to explain that to you. When we are young, the one thing that we cannot do is make sense of the world ourselves, and to protect us from falling down a cliff or going near fire, is that it uses the whole concept of association and emotion to actually effect a sense of learning.
Now, if we experience something bad when we are near water, what happens is that the subconscious mind actually associates these emotions with the water, and this is how the phobia of the ocean comes about when we become adults. Now, you know why some people actually have a fear of water and some of them don’t, because these emotions stay within the subconscious matrix of the mind, and from there, it is actually able to retain and remind the body to actually use these emotions as a defence mechanisms so that the same thing will not happen again. This is why the subconscious mind is said to be one of the most powerful elements within the body, because it has the ability to control every aspect of our lives.
Ever wondered why some people are afraid of public speaking and some of them are not, and this is because of the subconscious mind and the kind of stimulation that the body and the mind has been receiving since they were young and this is the important thing that you have to note.
