The subconscious mind is more like a vast storage system rather than one given structure. A good way to conceptualize it is like scanning a page of type into your computer. You can read the page and make sense out of it. To simplify the data the computer turns it into ones and zeros and stores it as code.
If it were to store real pages it would soon run out of memory but a computer can easily store a whole library of data once encoded. Now if we were to look into this stored data on a hard drive it would be meaningless to us.
The operating system of a computer is all ones and zeros- the binary code. We dont see it and most of us cant read code it but it controls 99% of what a computer does.
Same with the subconscious mind constantly computing comparing listening watching learning and reacting and all faster than the most complex computer.
So the bottom line is we are being run by an operating system we can not easily communicate with...and we had little choice what data it stored. There are tools that provide us glimpses of this stored code but the subconscious does not give up its operating system easily.
One of the main talents of the subconscious mind is in contrast and comparison. It is my belief that we are born with certain hard wired rules or programs. Some people like to call this the God Mind or the conscience. At any rate, even without learning social mores humans have an innate sense of right and wrong and the subconscious tells us when we are violating this program with a microsecond blip of awareness.
Now most of us being decedents of Adam and Eve decide we may know better and eat the apple...or do the deed!! So the SC screeches to a halt, starts comparing data and throws a fit. This is called cognitive dissonance or like the computer says on the Lost In Space TV program...it does not compute.
This is one causation of internal stress. All humans have denial as a coping mechanism wounded children/adults have it down to a constant unrecognized habit. Deny what the internal computer knows to be real and we again have Dissonance and internal stress...sand in the gears and water in the basement!!
Since the subconscious does not speak English one way it has to get our attention is: SYMPTOMS. It is telling us we are running a program with a virus and we are out of harmony with the real us.
The dashboard warning lights of the subconscious are: anxiety panic depression insomnia and other pathologic mental and physical states.
The body also has its own binary program drive it too hard and it will also speak with symptoms also . Violate both the mind and body and we are set for a lot of suffering.
Plum, I really think that Candice Pert is right. When I use my pendulum, I am getting the equivalent of the electrostatic charge from my body. This is the subconscious and part of the collective unconscious that Carl Jung talks about.
