The well oiled machine

Your mind is incredibly powerful. Like you didn’t know that right? The understatement of our existence.

All of us have no idea how powerful it is or the potential it holds. On a daily basis we are unaware how constant our minds are actually working. This theory in itself is unlimited in what could be discussed and what I could dive into (based on my non educated mind), so I will try to explain what I think about our minds as simply and metaphorically as I can. I am sure that there are scientific explanations and all that other elite-ness.

Break your mind down into your conscious mind and your subconscious mind.
Your conscious mind, or what I call, your “now mind” is the easiest one for us to understand. Your conscious mind is made up of thoughts that require a yes or no answer right away. Am I hungry? Yes. Do I need to use the washroom? No….close the door when you go into the bathroom type thing. This conscious mind is working at the forefront of your everyday activities. You are guiding this state of mind throughout your day but on a very minimal and habitual level.

Your subconscious mind is the scary and more difficult one. The “behind the scenes mind” that you know is running but don’t always pay attention to. Like a car engine. You know its running but you can’t see everything that it’s doing. Your subconscious mind holds more power than your conscious mind and it is more difficult to alter or take control of. With saying this, your subconscious mind is the one that ends up controlling your life. It can be on a fast track to nowhere if you don’t tune it up.

There are billions of synapses going off in our mind every second (without us having any control) and these synapses are reacting with billions of other synapses. We need to accept the fact that we have very little control over all of these possible possibilities and interactions. Our brains synapses in totality have potential to all react with each other. Hence MANY possibilities.

This is why I know, understand, and believe that everyone can be different and is different, and it’s natural. (Mental Illness, disliking mushrooms, being gay, liking Jazz etc.; can all be based on chemical interactions within your brain).
Like an engine in a car, your subconscious mind needs to be maintained and kept on track. As you cannot control EVERYTHING that the actual motor (subconscious) is doing, you can however take it a part clean it, fix it, and put it back together so you know its running smoothly. Basically I am trying to say is be conscious of your subconscious thoughts. Confusing? Yes, no?

After you have whipped your brain into shape your subconscious will eventually take over and continue to run such as a car engine under the hood.

You have to be ultra-conscious or “in the now” or “present” to alter or change the path of your subconscious mind. What this means is when you feel present and work on changing things in your life they eventually become “habit” or part of your subconscious mind. This is why being depressed or thinking negatively can push your subconscious off course. When you think negatively for a long period of time, you train your subconscious mind to continue this route. All of a sudden everything around you sucks, is negative, or flat out doesn't go your way. You are attracting this towards you through your subconscious. This is what I believe "The Secret' was trying to teach people; but failed to describe in full.

Although it’s a pretty standard concept that "thoughts become things" it’s more than just thinking about something. It’s based on your conscious mind working together with physical actions to create your subconscious pattern. This is what I believe the secret missed.

There is nothing more mentally liberating then thinking about doing something and then just doing it. Just decide to do something. Anything. Big, small, ANYTHING. And do it. Example: Making conversation with more people a day (elevator, grocery store etc), complimenting people when you think “wow that jacket is great”, quitting smoking, organizing, cleaning, etc. Then grow bigger and bigger.

You can control your mind. It listens to you, but has to get into a repetition or a habitual state. Once you have trained it enough consciously, it will transfer into your more powerful subconscious mind that guides you towards your goals. Think of the motor, as long as it’s running smoothly you are going to get where you want to go.

The reigns and controls to grasp this theory are right in front of you, and I know you can feel them as well as see them. Try grabbing it, try consciously controlling your brain collectively with physical actions and see what happens.
