The brain,mind and space

Hi!

So I've been a bit interested in the amount of space we have within our minds. I think it's immense, it's just that we aren't completely aware of it.

I once read that we will automatically pick up body language cues from the person we are talking to. So for example, someone is saying one thing and yet we just don't "feel" what they are saying is true. It's possible that our minds picked up a few cues that contradicted what they were saying.

So think about that, and keep in mind that we also think. Imagine if someone is speaking to you, you are picking up cues from their body language, thinking about what you are going to say next (possibly) and you have involuntary things that happen within the body which aren't over your control (such as digestion, the blood coursing through your body etc.), while all the while using your 5 senses, which in turn, have some kind of connection to the brain in some way! If that doesn't make you say "wow!" I have no idea what will lol

So knowing that the body is more than what we assume it to be, or even care to realize, I've been trying my best (when I feel like it) to study as much as I can about it. Reading about anatomy. It's not to enhance my brain's knowledge, I seek these things for basic understanding. It's kind of like understanding something as much as possible to learn to take care of it.

I imagine that some people will take care of their outer surface. Not knowing that the inner is what makes up the outer. And over time, this shows through that mask. Almost like a home being invaded by termites, and over time it starts to become apparent by the condition of the house.

Now, seeking this information is to better the way we use our bodies. And I can understand how some people may not care, or for the most part aren't completely aware of knowing things such as how much they can store in their minds, learning to use their minds to the fullest ability, could accelerate humankind (possibly).

I'm a dreamer in the sense of believing that all kinds of things are possible, but only if a person believes it's possible.

So I'll give another example. Now, I've never been hypnotized before, so I can understand if a person doesn't believe it's possible to be placed under and allow the subconscious to surface over our conscious mind. Of course it would seem that our conscious mind if like the protector, it seems to lives in the natural s humanistic survival instinct.So, pushing to the side that being placed under is "stupid" would seem to make sense to some.

However, even though it's never happened to me, I believe it's possible. I've read that the subconscious mind is like the backseat driver. Hm...I like to think of it has the car. The conscious mind is the driver, and the subconscious mind is the car. The conscious mind would think it has control, yet if the car has an issue, it will likely stop working.

I think to limit the subconscious mind to the backseat driver is belittling it lol

Think about it, when a person realizes something is wrong with their car, some responsible people would check it out to make sure everything is okay, and even send it to a shop to get it looked at. While some people who doesn't really care would keep driving it, knowing something is wrong, until it breaks down and they are stranded wondering where they went wrong.

This, to me, is how incredible the subconscious mind works.

So what does this have to do with anything?

Back with the hypnosis. When a person is placed under, the conscious mind does not (if anything) get in the way. I have read a few cases where a person would become fearful, I'm guessing the tension would start bringing them back to the surface, and they would be too afraid to continue with the case. But after relaxing again, they would be able to answer questions about their childhood that they thought weren't there when they are conscious.

So what does this say about capacity? When it comes to being able to remember almost every small detail, and this information is stored in the subconscious mind, doesn't that tell you the mind is a powerful tool!

I can't completely distinguish the brain and mind, but I feel they are connected to an immense amount of space.

But here is my theory on why a lot of this information is stored in the back of our minds. Imagine trying to live right now at this very moment but you have dozens of thoughts racing at you. It's like being restless in the mind. So the subconscious mind would step in, hold up it's hand and say "alright, I got you!" and start to file all of the information not needed at the moment, in a file cabinet for future reference.

Now the issue starts here when we walk up to the file cabinet (consciously) and stare at it and say "Open!" but we just can't get anything out by screaming and shouting at it.

I can't say for sure how to access this vast amount of information, I do believe we could if we really wanted to (by actually putting some time in to do it), but I also think the subconscious mind monitors this. I also believe the subconscious mind may give us a kind of amnesia for not completely remembering traumatic events. I say this because there are events in my childhood which I can't remember. I'm guessing something that may have hurt me emotionally and in order to protect myself (in my childhood) I repressed it.

But the issue in this situation is that I will likely be attracted, or those kinds of situations will come into my life and I won't know why because I repressed those memories. And this is where  I feel going into that information is important for the purpose of moving forward in life.

So....isn't amazing how all of this works! lol I'm sure it would be natural to think "the brain is in control" but on a deeper level there is something more in control.

And I think life works according to this, or around this.

Well, that's all for now. I'm not sure if I steered to far from my original topic, but I think I got the gist of what I was thinking  written here,

Thanks for reading.
