Consciousness is the awareness when we do a particular act such as thinking, feeling or simply doing chores or an errand. A person’s reaction while being awake or up is a sign of consciousness. This reaction is known as the conscious mind. Our ability to process external information is quite limited regardless of the word multitasking, a person can only process so much at a particular time. The process that limits the amount of information that our brain is taking in is called selective attention. We tend to only remember what we want to remember or we only pay much attention to what is important for us. The opposite meaning of conscious is subconscious. The power of subconscious mind is sometimes stronger compared to conscious mind.
All of us have a conscious mind. However, our everyday behavior and/or routines fall under a preconscious level. A perfect example is when you drive to the office. Since you have been doing this for quite a while now, most of your actions are already automatic. When a person has been consistently doing a certain act for a very long period of time, the act will fall to subconscious thinking. However the bustling sound or a loud horn might bring the driver back to the consciousness state. Reaction that falls under the power of subconscious mind are reactions that are performed unconsciously or automatically without the permission of our conscious mind. Most reaction associated with the power of subconscious mind are anger, jealousy, lust and even the desire to do bad things that will harm yourself or other people. Subconscious state sometimes makes people do crazy things because it is mostly emotional based feeling. Reaction under subconscious mind is sometimes hard to suppress and it will take much effort to put your conscious state back. That is why it is important to take a step back when you are really mad. This is to avoid the wrong way of thinking and the wrong doings. The powers of both conscious and subconscious mind are powerful but they also work together side by side. This mind power affects our daily act and daily performance. Since it is hard for us human to always be in conscious, just try your best to be alert at all times. The performance that is greatly affected by these two factors is our decision making. It includes the food that we want to eat during meal time, what clothes and shoes to wear, the mood swings and the attitude that we show or project to other people.
Conscious and subconscious are similar to plants. It works both ways. Fertile soil represents the power of subconscious mind. This side of the mind is compared to a fertile soil because it is simply there and you don’t need to look for it. The seed represents the conscious side of the mind. A person who plans to lodge plants will have to choose the right seed or the kind of seed hat he/ she needs and wants. Seed is also known as the conscious side of mind power because it is up to the people who plant it to also grow it properly. These are like bad habits that had been there in our system for quite a while. It tends to show up every now and then without us noticing.
