The "Subconscious" Problem


A problem with human beings is that they have a subconscious. People think and act in a certain way, sure that they know the reasons behind their thinking and acting. Most times, they only "believe" they know, while they don't. If you get an ailment, you immediately think of the physical cause. Some may go as far as trying to detect the "mental" cause, such as a negative thought or behavior. Both may be true. But there is something else that is very difficult, often almost impossible to detect. It is the layer of beliefs and, mostly, feelings that are deeply rooted "below" our conscious mind and of which we are totally unaware. Past experiences create a sort of foundation upon which our daily life is being built. Therefore, if you stop to look, you will only see the building (the way your life is, your health situation etc.) while being unaware of what lays underneath. Discovering what such foundation, nevertheless, is all but easy. Unfortunately.
