The mind could be divided into three systems: the conscious mind, subconscious mind, and the unconscious mind. As part of this theory, Freud believed the mind was composed of three parts: the id, ego, and superego. The preconscious mind is an important part of this process. The preconscious contains thoughts that are unconscious but can be easily recalled.
Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness to control system of the mind. The conscious mind is awareness at the present moment. You are aware of something on the outside as well as some specific mental functions happening on the inside which is otherwise the subconscious.
The above definitions is what defines a human being. Consciousness is how much i know. The amount of how much i know determines my position in society. If one has to take credit it should be the hippocampus of a person that can process and store information when needed. The Conscious mind for all is the Captain of the ship and the master of all your affairs. It is always Think - Feel - Act on confrontation with a situation/crisis. Think - Feel - Act in the conscious state needs the help of the subconscious mind. The reason i say that is because the subconscious stores all the information taken from the conscious mind and directs the conscious mind to act accordingly. In a way all our actions are guided by the subconscious. Many tend to act polite when meeting a rival even if they don't want to is because of the subconscious telling them to not to make a scene in public. Mans subconscious for me is nothing but a fertile land where one can sow seeds and get the respective results. I was reading a piece and i have a example for that. What i get from it is conscious and subconscious thinking goes hand in hand.
Before that few points on the subconscious mind.
1. Your subconscious mind takes the order you give it based on what the conscious mind believes and accepts as true. One must give the right orders to the subconscious mind which controls and governs most of the experiences.
2. The law of life is the law of belief. A belief is a thought in your mind. Every thought is a cause and the result of it is a effect.
3. Whatever you impress on the subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as experience and event.
a. One must give the right order, thought and image to your subconscious which controls and governs most of the experience.
b. Negative destructive thoughts continue to work negatively in your subconscious mind. In due time it comes forth into outer experience. Subconscious mind reacts according to nature, thoughts and suggestion.
c. If your conscious mind accepts something as true even though false subconscious mind will proceed to bring about results.
3. Change your thoughts, Change your destiny.
Based on the above points i have got a story.
Operant conditioning (also called "instrumental conditioning") is a type of learning in which (a) the strength of a behavior is modified by the behavior's consequences, such as reward or punishment.
After reading what operant conditioning is i should be familiar with what the story will be about. Yup definitely Religion.
I strongly believe that the day we are born in this world all of us like it or not will have to deal with in our day to day lives. One should honour the code given to you by GOD. You should respect it and do the needful as other human beings in the world. If not one will be dealt with severely. The whole concept of heaven and hell has taken precedence from Operant conditioning. God rewards with you with heaven and punishes you with hell. I must say instilling fear in man and controlling man is the right thing to do which eventually keeps everything at balance. If not one or the other will doctrinate his/her ideology which one ll
be made to follow. Sad part is that the current scenario has favoured such ideologies. I will speak for myself taking the example of SEX in my story. Christians view sex as a sin and believe that man is born out of sin. In short having sex is a sin. I personally will find it difficult to live in such a world "To get punished the day i am born". I find it difficult to believe such a point made by God which Christians believe in. If sex is a sin what is the point of all the laws and operant conditioning done by him. Many unfortunately have taken the axe because of it.
So the story is about a female who was often reminded that Sex belongs to the Devil. Indulging in sex is Diabolic debauchery. Her conscience of early conditioning refrained her from doing such a thing. Inspite of the strict laws given to her she still went ahead with it. Her conscious mind was not able to put the brakes and she enjoyed the act. Soon after which she realised that she has sinned. She later then started resenting herself and had a growing sense of guilt empowering her. She was not able to forgive herself and eventually came to terms with it. She knew that she got a one way ticket to hell.
The reson behind such thoughts was primarily due to operant conditioning. Due to the growing sense of insecurity she then decided to proceed with therapy. During therapy she realised that she was brainwashed mesmerized and was conditioned by a superstitious bigoted human being.. She later compared the effects of conscious and subconscious thoughts. Her consciousness registered it to be a sin a long time ago which then made the subconscious to not be in sync with her. Her subconscious was the reason of all the conflict and piling guilt. In process of dealing with it she had to see the facts associated with the conscious choices and it being registered in the subconscious. After realizing that things dont add up she decided to break ties with her family and never see them again. She now lives a happy life which ofcourse has SEX and the DEVIL in it phew................. as people put it. This story reminds me of Stepford Wives in which it has a lot to do with Operant Conditioning. There is a similar case of April Kepner in Greys Anatomy when it comes to dealing with sex.
In short if the mind registers false information in the conscious state which is then registered in the subconscious can later in life create problems for the respective individual. Unfortunately similar has been the case in other areas of life for many.
