You And The Subconscious Mind

By Frank Jr. Q. Aurillo

I personally like to call this article "You And The Subconscious Mind" with a little emphasis on the uniqueness of the mind which may arouse the curiosity of some readers into wondering why didn't I just say "You And Your Subconscious Mind" as this could have been simpler and more straightforward.

That's just the point of this discussion of the subconscious mind. And it is our normal tendency to refer to it with an assumption too far off the mark, which is, that we normally call it our own and take it for granted as if it were some kind of body part that we can pinpoint and show to others. For lack of true understanding we invariably think of the subconscious mind as something that we can appropriate, a distinctiveness that attaches to our individuality in the same context that you can refer to your hand or hair as part of yourself.

Firstly, because I'm talking about the subconscious mind whenever I speak of the term mind, and am not therefore referring to the conscious, logical or analytical mind that is identified with the left hemisphere of the human brain. Here, I refer to the mind that's more closely related to the autonomous functioning of the nervous system of the body and resides within the right brain hemisphere. In my view, however, it resides in the entire human body through the endocrine glands.

According to the experts, this section of the mind is in charge of the automotive functions of the human body. For example, whoever heard of someone deliberately and consciously ordering his lungs to breathe air in and out, his heart to pump blood and oxygen to his brain to keep it alive and have his digestive and other systems work 24/7 without let-up? That would have entailed that person being awake all those hours to direct and manage all those bodily functions.

But people go to bed during the night and all these respiratory, circulatory, digestive and metabolic functions of the body are undertaken in the usual course of rest without the person being even aware of it.

This fact, standing alone and by itself, should clearly demonstrate that we do not have full control of all our bodily functions. By this, we mean that we really do not have sole and exclusive dominion over our minds. And since these bodily systems run without our intervention they could only do so because of another section of our being that is different from that over which we can exercise control of by means of our will. If so, then we are dealing with a part of our mind that most of us may have taken for granted.

What manner of mind is this that does all these things independently of our bidding? And, can we pause to think that plant and animal life too experience the same cellular and tissue activity involving growth and regeneration as our bodies do? To the extent that this mind we call the subconscious remains hidden but does its job nevertheless to animate human beings and all life on this planet, then to that extent may we propose the theory that the subconscious mind can exist not just within but even outside of our bodies.

In another article, I present some discussion regarding the subconscious mind with questions like, can this mind be controlled by us, or is it us that is under its perpetual control and mercy? Just thinking that the autonomic functions may just quit suddenly without your permission, knowledge and consent. Then what? Also, we talk about how we may bring (if it is possible at all) this elusive mind to the light of day and examine its nature and more or less come to a basic understanding as to how we may be able to use it to our benefit and advantage.
