Subconscious Mind Explained

What is the Subconscious Mind?

It’s the Mind in Charge of the Body
The Subconscious is the Mind in charge of all biological functions in the body. It has an innate intelligence that not only manages these processes automatically but also understands the source of life.

It’s a Powerful Assistant to Our Conscious Mind
The Subconscious Mind is like a computer programme made of fast short-cuts, working as an assistant to the Conscious Mind, and providing powerful lenses to interpret reality. It's also called the habitual mind because, once we repeat an action enough times, it learns to perform it without requiring conscious effort.

Why is the Subconscious Mind Created

The primary function of the Subconscious Mind is to keep us alive and safe — both physically and socially. In early human history, being excluded from a tribe often meant death. As a result, our Subconscious is wired to prioritize safety and belonging, adopting whatever behavior is necessary to achieve these goals.

How is the Subconscious Mind Created

Around the ages of 0 to 7 years old we learn how to exist in the world. Much like a software programme being installed onto hardware, we copy and paste information from the environment around us. During this time, our mind is in a highly absorbent, almost hypnotic state, and the Conscious Mind has not formed yet. As a result, we adopt behavioral patterns and belief systems from those around us without filtering them — regardless of whether they are beneficial or true.

After age 7, we begin developing our Conscious Mind, which allows for critical thinking and analysis. However, by this point, much of our programming is already in place.

Features of the Subconscious Mind

It’s FAST - Much Faster Than the Conscious Mind
The Subconscious Mind processes information at an astonishing speed: about 11 million bits per second, compared to the 40–50 bits per second processed by the Conscious Mind. This means that before we even consciously register an event, our Subconscious Mind has already reacted to it. This is especially true when it perceives a situation as unsafe—it will trigger a response before our Conscious Mind even realizes what’s happening.

It’s Bigger, Stronger, and More Powerful - the Giant versus the Baby
Think of the Subconscious Mind as the massive part of an iceberg beneath the surface, with the Conscious Mind as the tiny visible tip. When the Conscious and Subconscious minds are in conflict, guess who wins? The Subconscious Mind—almost every time. Bruce Lipton suggests that the Subconscious Mind governs 95% of our behavior. This means that our reality is largely a reflection of our subconscious programming: the beliefs, habits, and patterns we absorbed as kids, and we kept developing as adults.

What is Subconscious Mind ReCoding

ReCoding is the act of re-writing and adjusting the programmes in our Subconscious Mind. It allows our Subconscious Mind to reset, to keep running the good programmes and upgrade those programmes that have become obsolete and may hold us back in life, or even sabotage us.

Why to ReCode

Based on the programmes in our Subconscious Mind we have a certain perception about reality, and we act through these lenses. We can say that our reality is the projection of our Subconscious Mind and belief system. Unfortunately not all programmes allow us to live the lives we desire.

Who Should ReCode

Everybody!
ReCoding is a superpower!
