Conscious vs. Subconscious
Active awareness versus below-awareness processing.
The comparisoni
“I consciously want to succeed — your subconscious beliefs may contradict the conscious want.”
The ruleii
¶
CONSCIOUS = aware. SUBCONSCIOUS = below.
CONSCIOUS thought is what you notice yourself thinking. SUBCONSCIOUS processing runs below awareness — habits, implicit beliefs, automatic reactions. Most of mental life is subconscious; conscious thought is the tip of the iceberg.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
Conscious = notice. Subconscious = under.
