The unconscious mind II

13 August 2008


Your unconscious mind works on…


When you meet someone, especially in overseas, the person tells you s/he is from your hometown. Automatically, you feel warmth in side (your unconscious mind) and want to know more about that person. Same goes to people who meet others with same hobby, related job, went to same school,… Similarly, when you meet someone new who reminds you of somebody that you like or dislike, you will probably have about the same feeling towards the person at the beginning. It applicable to colors, buildings, voices, cars,….  that you see. You make association with a picture in your mind ‘That look like…’


When you have the time, just think back when your were a primary student, then grew up to secondary, your first job, second job, present moment, then your future like two days later, three years later and so on. You realize that your past and future actually represent a line in relation to your body. There is always a direction of past, a point at present moment (that’s where you are) and the other direction is your future.


When you think of someone you dislike, you normally can feel the negative emotion in side you. On the other hand, your breathing will slow down and feel at ease when think of someone you like. All of us repress our negative emotions e.g. sadness, anger, guilt,… Unless you have made rational decision to release these negative emotions, our unconscious mind helps us to repress our unresolved negative emotions in order to move forward. Of course, some of us like to feel more alive by bringing it back frequently or consciously make the pain more vivid.


It may be hard to accept, but it is true. Your unconscious mind does not know what is good or bad for you. If not there would not be war, diseases and turbulence in life.


Meditation does help you to float above difficult situations gradually and have smooth sail in life. They are more tools and techniques other than meditation to sand off all the bumps on road in quicker ways that I have learned and experienced.
