RE: Spiritualism
You can't read the unconscious part. By definition! And its a vast part of your mind! So not that accurate! (Applies to me too of course).

RE: Spiritualism
They say the subconscious is incredibly powerful, if we could only harvest that power Smile

RE: Spiritualism
What are you referring to when you say 'we'?

So the subconscious is not 'us' then? So, what, are 'we' our consciousness then? And how do 'we' (as the conscious mind) do that then..I wonder?

So what's consciousness has to convert to subconscious, then? But it's already doing that job, we've evolved to not make too much too conscious, because we have evolved not to know what we want to know - only what we need to know in order for our selfish genes to pass on.

I meant if we could only harvest the power of our own subconsciousness I think we'd be able to learn a lot. I read somewhere about the subconsciousness. I gotta go find the source then I can share some insightful information Smile

RE: Spiritualism
'We' harness it? But it is part of 'us'...so what is this 'we' or 'us' you are speaking of....how can 'we' harness 'it' if 'it' is part of this we? 'we' being our consciousness, has to tap into our subconsciousness, you mean, right? That's all I'm asking Tongue I just find it interesting.

And yeah, I've heard of that stuff repeatedly. "We only use 1%/5%/10% of our brains" blah blah blah lol.

It's all crap, we use all of our brain, we are only aware of 10-12%... and thank fuck for that!

Could you imagine having to be aware of breathing, white and red blood cell count, number of enzymes in the liver... i for one am glad that i am only aware of such a small portion of my brains function.

Does anyone out there have any thoughts on this faith.
The person in question has long ceased talking to me about it.(Apparently I smirk).

It's crap ... Derren Brown (as Adrian says) can do it and then admits it's all fake ... not sure but didn't Paul McKenna do a pretty good variant on it too?

Assuming it started at 11 I recorded it but missed the first 5 to 10 mins after Adrian mentioned it on MSN.
