The Subconscious is a wonderful thing. It does so much for us, without us having to even think. It can drive us home safely, scratch an itch, catch a ball and so much more. However it also has a dark side, leading us to do or say things that in retrospect would have been better left undone or unsaid.

On this site - with, we hope, your help - we plan to find out more about our subconscious, where does it start and end, what is it capable of, and is your's better than mine?

We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas on how we can test and explore the mystery that we call our subconscious or intuition.

Subconscious Mind vs. Conscious Mind

The subconscious mind and the conscious mind are two layers of cognitive processing that work together to shape our thoughts, behaviors, and experiences. While the distinction between their functions is not always clear-cut, there are certain aspects in which the subconscious mind appears to have capabilities that differ from those of the conscious mind. It's important to note that our understanding of these processes is still evolving, and research in this area continues to provide new insights. Here are some ways in which the subconscious mind can operate differently from the conscious mind:

1. Pattern Recognition and Processing:

   The subconscious mind is exceptionally skilled at recognizing and processing patterns, even ones that are too complex or subtle for the conscious mind to detect. This ability is demonstrated in tasks such as recognizing faces, interpreting emotions, and identifying familiar melodies or scents.

2. Automated Behaviors and Skills:

   The subconscious mind plays a crucial role in the development and execution of learned behaviors and skills. Activities such as driving a car, playing a musical instrument, or typing on a keyboard often become automated through repeated practice and are executed by the subconscious mind with little conscious effort.

3. Emotional Processing:

   The subconscious mind can process and react to emotions more rapidly and intuitively than the conscious mind. It is responsible for generating emotional responses and triggering physiological reactions (e.g., increased heart rate, sweating) in response to stimuli, often before the conscious mind becomes aware of the emotion.

The relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind is complex and interconnected. While the subconscious mind possesses these unique capabilities, it often works in tandem with the conscious mind to shape our overall cognitive experience. Additionally, advancements in neuroscience and psychology continue to deepen our understanding of these cognitive processes.
