I am my Subconscious Mind [not a non-doer]

[Guest guest]

A viewpoint from a different perspective.

 

I have not seen the subconscious mind mentioned in any spiritual group or

writings.

Yet we are our subconscious minds! Our conscious mind is only an

afterthought. [Animals function very well without a conscious mind]. The

conscious mind has no direct access to the vast resources of our

subconscious minds. Most decisions are already made by our subconscious

minds thus the mistaken concept of non-doer ship. In fact scientists have

recently discovered that the decisions already made by our subconscious

minds appear 1/2 a second later in our conscious minds and are rightly

regarded by our conscious minds as our own decisions.

 

What we do, how we react in different circumstances depends on what is

stored in our subconscious minds. Our subconscious minds not only store raw

data but also sequences of script that could be played out in different

circumstances. That is the learned survival mechanisms passed down in our

genes from the time when life first appeared on earth.

 

In a set of circumstances we can guess how an Italian, a German and an

Englishman will react. [This is true all over the world with different

tribes, sub-tribes and even families.] In India different tribes do

different jobs. For example "Goldsmith" is a name of a tribe! Why are

groups predictable? It is because of their similar genetic make-up and

similar upbringing. Remember the subconscious mind is built on the

foundations of genes + environment.

 

I think perhaps the main reason for having a conscious mind is not to

rubber stamp the decisions made by the subconscious mind but to stay quiet

and experience the Ultimate Reality !? Thus in a person like Ramana the

subconscious mind was the sole 'doer' for the body/mind to survive. Whereas

the conscious mind had merged with the Greater Consciousness !? [To put it

in the non-dual way, our conscious mind is part of the Greater

Consciousness already. It just 'mistakenly' identifies with the

subconscious mind it is inhabiting !?]
