Much of our conscious awareness originates from our subconscious mind… we assume our conscious mind is making all our decisions, but surprisingly our decisions are usually made by our subconscious mind and this is also true of our thoughts and feelings….our subconscious does most of the work through its ability to process a vast memory and information system more than a thousand times faster than our conscious mind…it then selects and flows to our conscious awareness that which is most consistent with our subconscious programming.
Deeply embedded in our belief system is the assumption we are an independent agent with a “free will” who can make our own choices as to who we can be….but it appears our social programming has a lot more to say about what happens to us than we realize….perhaps the most significant factor in our programming is the belief in an autonomous self functioning independently with social values and expectations.
Our subconscious mind is also endowed with biological programming which begins developing within us from the period of conception and becomes most dominant during our early childhood….we all know that “golden” stage of life filled with all the magic and fascination of being part of a world beyond description…however as the child grows older, particularly when entering school, the social programming is required and as a result assumes its dominant role.
Unfortunately, the child’s biological programming when entering school could be just as easily developed and with vastly greater results…all the powers of imagination, intuition, creativity, curiosity have unlimited potential and can grow throughout a life time…hopefully we will see its significance for future generations.
