Subject: Your Subconscious Mind Always Wins

The power of the human mind is astonishing. You're
aware of your conscious mind, the part of you that is

knowingly reading this right now, but your collective
subconscious mind is of its own volition, and doesn't
always agree with your conscious desires.

Try as you might, you aren't really in control of your
subconscious mind which greatly influences your

behavior.

Hypnosis can greatly help to modify unconscious fears
such as fear of expression or flying, and can also assist
in directing your mind toward other goals, but

subconscious defense patterns are much more complex
and are much tougher to modify.

Handwriting analysis by a well-trained professional is

very effective in delineating subconscious fears and
defenses.

Below are 4 startling examples--the scary truth--of how
your subconscious mind prevails and even rules your
life.

1. Although seemingly noble, trying to never think about

sex with anyone but your spouse or significant other is

impossible, as are other attempts at rigid sexual morality.

Why? Because your true (subconscious) feelings and

human instinct aren't in accordance with that strict moral

notion--it's natural to think, even fantasize sexually about

people other than your spouse. While you chain your

conscious mind in a box, your subconscious mind has a

swinging singles party and the ensuing conflict in your

mind wrecks havoc on your life; eventually that shadow-

self you repress makes an appearance and crashes your
morality construct.

2. You decide that from now on you'll never get upset or

angry and forever project blissful compassion. The

problem is that it's perfectly natural to feel "negative"
emotions, and then to constructively express them. If you

refuse to acknowledge your not so sweet feelings and

stuff them down deep inside, eventually you'll experience

the beach ball under water effect: you'll blow up at

someone or otherwise inappropriately lose your cool,

maybe in a case of road rage, or worse.

3. It's better to put on a happy face instead of letting
others see the sadness you've been holding at bay, or is

it? Really, everyone wants to see you smile, but stuffing

that inner disappointment only saps your energy. It's

much better to admit to yourself that despair is

acceptable, then get in touch with it and deal with it

effectively. Note: unrealistic expectations tend to foster

disenchantment, so keep them in check.

4. "Selflessness" is often really a healthy form of

selfishness. Does anyone really believe that

"selflessness" exists? Look, we've always advocated

helping those in need, but helping others feels good

and is a motivator to continue, not to mention an effort

to avoid guilt for not helping others, so it's not really

selflessness. While expressing unconditional love to

those close to you may be interpreted as "selfless,"

that's a different matter, in our view.

There's nothing wrong with self interest, as it makes
the world go around. The problem is denying self

interest, which then manifests in some nasty forms

down the road, such as a hard-core advocate of

some cause projecting his or her (natural)

selfishness onto innocent parties, generating
unnecessary strife.

In summary, stop holding yourself hostage to your
conscious mind's demands that conflict with your

hidden, more potent mind, the subconscious. In
acknowledging your mind's "not so nice" impressions,

and learning to accept and detach from them, it will

give you greater peace of mind in the long run.
