The Power of the Subconscious

Good day dear Hive Community, first of all I would like to welcome you all to take a new post and hope you had a weekend that was full of positive experiences! In this post, I have decided to go into the subconscious and hope you can expand your knowledge a little.

In order to visualize the whole topic a little better, I have created some artworks with the help of artificial intelligence and the subconscious describes all psychological processes that take place parallel to the conscious level. What many do not even know is that the subconscious is responsible for over 95% of the daily things such as memories, emotions, ideas as well as things that are associated with the conscious and it is almost unbelievable that it is able to record and process over 80,000 information per second. If you look at this enormous number and compare it with the daily things that we consciously perceive, it should quickly be clear how important the subconscious is and the abilities of the brain and human thinking have been researched since ancient times. In ancient cultures, consciousness and the subconscious was still referred to as a whole as a soul and it is later times people began to approach this topic more and more complex and many practices such as Astral projection or other rituals were already carried out in ancient times, which were deeply associated with the subconscious and Buddhist teachings as well as shamanism as well as some other cultures, the soul or the subconscious were in the foreground. Even with the old alchemists, the subconscious was often in the foreground and it was very important to work on this level and concentrating with the own on a subliminal or psychological level and this was of enormous importance for alchemical development.

When we ask ourselves things or make decisions, the whole thing actually starts from the subconscious and even if you do not perceive it directly, this works quite subliminally and the human brain tries to automate processes as much as possible to make things easier for us and is able to recognize patterns. Everything that the sensory organs perceive such as smells, visions, feelings, sounds or tastes are also processed with the help of the subconscious and before things enter our consciousness such as experiences or emotional hurdles, these are first analyzed by the subconscious. From a scientific point of view, it is important to know what the brain consists of two parts and behind the forehead is the consciousness, which is also known as the prefrontal cortex and the rest of the structure of the brain is also counted as the subconscious. One distinguishes from two hemispheres of the brain and while the left is responsible for analytical thinking, the right one focuses on intuitive or creative thoughts and in the best case you can ensure that both work together and influence each other. Also in art it is often about stimulating the subconscious and certain colors can affect it and there are also entire art epochs that have focused on the power of the subconscious such as surrealism and through the correct use of stylistic devices the subconscious part of the brain can be specifically stimulated. Interesting is probably also the unconscious thinking in our dreams and when we perceive something in a dream, this also comes from the subconscious and is a mirror of it and I hope I was able to go into more detail on this important topic in this contribution.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read through my post and I hope you like it and can learn something new about the subconscious!
