The Educational System of the Future – Today!
Ask yourself this question:
‘Do you know more about operating your computer
and mobile phone than your own mind?’
Read on to learn something of how your mind works.
Your Unconscious is Making the
Decisions.
The mind can be divided into two areas,
the conscious mind and the larger
unconscious mind (sometimes referred to
as the subconscious mind). Think of the
conscious mind as more on the surface
and the unconscious as the greater and
deeper part of the mind. Research shows
that the unconscious is largely making our
everyday decisions, with some research
showing as low as 5% conscious input -
the 95% coming from the unconscious.
This realisation, however, is not new. Way
back, Freud maintained that we were puppets in the hands of the
unconscious.
Programs.
Part of the unconscious can be likened to a computer. Think of
the unconscious as the storage hard drive of the mind. The
programs that become imprinted on the person’s mind form their
life. Let’s look at some examples. Take your seven-times
multiplication tables that we learn as children in school. We learn
by repetition using the conscious mind, so we continuously repeat
‘seven ones are seven, seven twos are fourteen, seven threes are
twenty-one’ etc. Eventually this information is stored in the
memory in our storage hard drive - our unconscious. This stored
learning we are calling a program. Now we can operate from this
learning almost without thinking.
If I say to you ‘What is seven times seven?’ the answer, forty-nine,
will be produced instantly by your unconscious. Similarly you
learn a language, how to spell, drive a car etc. Ultimately, a car is
largely driven by your unconscious because you can talk away to
your friends and you do not have to think about it. In short, it’s a
program. However, you began learning to drive using your
conscious mind. You asked yourself ‘Where is the accelerator,
brake, clutch, handbrake?’ No doubt you often had trouble with
the gears and there was much jerking and cutting out of the
engine. With everything, the conscious
learning stage is generally confusing and
stressful. However, once the learning is
accepted by the unconscious it becomes
for the most part automatic and effortless.
The types of programs, both good and
bad, which we all have stored consist of
our learnings, experiences, memories,
mindsets, beliefs, fears, phobias, selfimage
etc. We can have programs for
inferiority or confidence, failure or
success, happiness or unhappiness. Let’s
take a quick look at yours.
Can You Perform an Astonishing Mental Feat Right
Now?
If you were asked right now ‘Are you a success?’ you would
quickly be able to give an answer. Do it and see. To produce this
answer you performed an astonishing mental feat. With truly
lightning speed you sifted through all of your programs of a
lifetime, weighed up the good and the bad and came up with the
answer ‘Yes, I consider myself a success!’ or ‘No, I’m not!’ If the
question is ‘Are you happy?’ what is your answer? Again, you
quickly performed the same amazing feat. Ultimately, whatever
stands out the most when you look inside your mind, wins. This
will be whatever made the most powerful impression, and
therefore became deeply imprinted on your mind.
A person could have a very happy life and then have one truly bad
experience and this makes such a deep imprint on their mind that
it literally wipes out all the good from the past. Consequently, this
bad experience casts a shadow over the person’s everyday life
and now they are unhappy. In turn, the experience can severely
reduce or even prevent future happiness. Equally, a person could
continually bemoan their lack of success, then have one big
success and bask in the glory of that for the rest of their life.
So, as we have seen, deep imprints can cast big shadows.
The deepest imprints on your mind, good or bad, control and form
you and your life.
