Pattern recognition can reveal the logic behind the activities of your subconscious mind. Beneath your awareness, neural drives remember and recognize patterns and act with logical precision. Those drives support your speech. They respond to your feelings, organize an idea, find the right words, arrange them in order, check grammar and operate your vocal chords. You are only conscious of the final outcome. Most of the things you do are outputs of your subconscious mind. Even the emotional turmoil you experience is caused by its internal responses to emotions. Effective mind control depends on an understanding of the major neural drives within your subconscious mind.
Habitual Drives Run In Your Subconscious Your conscious actions eventually become subconscious habits.The basal ganglia, a brain organ is believed to “automate thinking and acting, turning focally conscious activities into quick, reliable, unthinking habit.”
Ann Graybiel recorded neural activity in the basal ganglia of a monkey, while it learned to associate the sound of a click with the availability of a sip of juice. With the start of activity in the throughput lines of the region, “spidery arms that eavesdropped” on the flow fired in rhythm, and learned the activity. Later, the region mirrored the firing rhythms, converting it into a subconscious act for the animal.
PET Scans Reveal The Wisdom Of Your Subconscious Mind Science has clearly shown that complex intelligent activities can be managed by your subconscious mind. In their research using PET scans on subjects playing video games, scientists discovered that cortical activity increases significantly when you first begin to learn a skill. Such activity decreases when you master the pursuit. Your conscious thoughts are correlated to cortical activity. The bulk of your activities are learned and habitual. Your motor system manages them within your subconscious mind, without your awareness.
Automated Motor Controls Run Beneath Consciousness Your cerebellum is reported to support motor functions, using an accurate biological clock. It is considered "necessary for smooth, co-ordinated, effective movement." Its outputs are through rows of Purkinje cells, which sent impulses to the motor neurons. Each of those cells reportedly evaluate 2,50,000 parameters including which opposing muscles contract, their levels of tension, on pressure, stretching of skin and the beginning and end of muscle movements. The habitual guidance of your body is a subconscious function of your mind.
Decisions Linked To Actions Your motor control systems have a galactic store of preprogrammed habitual actions, finely tuned to meet specified objectives. Pattern recognition links each objective to an appropriate action to manage everything you do. A television set recognizes the selected movie channel and delivers a preprogrammed set of images, which enact your movie. A set objective delivers the desired chain response. When you travel on a transatlantic flight, your conscious actions are limited to reading just a few airport signs to inform your mind of your objectives. Your subconscious mind manages everything else.
Muscles Meet Objectives When you decide to move a piece on a chess board, sequences of motor impulses persist from the instant your hand picks up the piece, till it is set down in its new position. Muscle movements are sequences of contractions, which last just milliseconds. Each signal invokes only a tiny contraction. Myriad muscles had to contract and relax over thousands of cycles till your chess piece reaches its desired position. The motor codes continually issue precise instructions to meet a set objective. Your hand does not wander off on its own. Systems within your subconscious mind remember the objective till it is achieved.
Emotions Set Objectives In Your Subconscious The Hydra, the earliest animal, had a nerve net, which enabled its simple objective of moving about and absorbing or rejecting food particles. From those primeval origins, nature developed an incredibly sophisticated range of emotions, including fear, sadness, disgust, contempt, curiosity, surprise, love, pleasure, embarrassment, guilt, and shame, to finely set objectives for the actions of animals. Those emotions set the objectives for the systems within your subconscious mind to deliver appropriate motor output.
Emotions Learn To Command Motor Systems It is a learning process, which begins in the cradle, with the intense activity of an infant. Its basal ganglia records feeling patterns of pleasure against the erratic hand movements, which touch an object. When the object is seen again, the recalled pattern activates the recorded hand movements. It purposefully touches the object. With repeated play and experimentation, the child learns to move its hand towards seen objects. In time, it learns to reach out and grasp a pencil. As emotions increasingly control activities, the random activities of the infant cease.
Conscious Learning Gives Way To Subconscious Habits It requires your undivided attention, when you first learn to drive a car. A conscious learning process links your motor activities to sensory perceptions. The system stores those memories. Over the years, millions more contextual memories are added. Shortcuts, early lane changes, responses to traffic snarls. With experience, your drive home requires little conscious thought. Ordinary people were unaware of the drives, which tie their shoelaces, or slice a carrot. Such drives remember and manage your myriad habitual subconscious activities.
Subconscious Goals Form In Youth Determined by childhood longings and beliefs, the more enduring drives set your career path. You do not consciously decide to follow your career every morning. They are long term programs, established at a young age. Those drives decide your daily routines persistently over thousands of sleep and waking cycles. They are learned gradually from infancy, forming sequences of physical activities, to be recalled instantly - to flee, attack, or negotiate. Many such patterns are learned in the playing fields, where habitual emotional responses controlled personal relationships in the subconscious mind.
Complex Drives Stored In Subconscious Mind Programmed drives manage sophisticated behavior from remembered responses. Birds built nests driven by such programs. Drives enable the mind to meet complex rules for a game and achieve objectives. Many drives are inherited, making us shake with sobs in sadness or laugh loudly with happiness. Emotions trigger the drives. Pleasant emotions generate drives, which approach and accept. Unpleasant emotions generate drives, which seek to escape, or reject the stimulus. Each moment of your life, an intuitive process selects an emotion which activates appropriate drives in your subconscious mind. That emotion immediately decides your current attitude to life. You respond with pleasure, or withdraw from pain.
The “Hurt” Component Of Pain In Your Subconscious Mind While the pleasure drive approaches and accepts, pain triggers drives, which seek to escape. The circuits, which actively struggle to escape pain are quite different from your sensation of pain. Medical texts report that pain is felt in two waves, separated by an interval of a few tenths of a second. The first is sharp and localized. The second wave is disagreeable. There are medical conditions, where a patient feels pain, but it does not “hurt.” Effective mind control depends on your ability to recognize the patterns of such negative drives in your subconscious mind.
A Subconscious Shopping List Drive Drives manage the search processes in your mind. Just as precisely sequenced motor impulses manage the slash of a surgical knife, programmed drives search your memories, or superimpose one image on another in your imagination. This process within the machine can be verified by you. When you set out to write a shopping list, a persisting drive is set off. Its objective is to discover the items in your list from your memories. Those memories are stored in the context of your needs, defined by your feelings. As you write each item down, drives bring a new item into your short term memory.
A Subconscious Creative Drive In The Mind Of A Monkey Konrad Lorenz describes the creativity in the mind of a chimpanzee. The animal was in a room which contained a banana suspended from the ceiling just out of reach, and a box placed elsewhere. "The matter gave him no peace, and he returned to it again. Then, suddenly - and there is no other way to describe it - his previously gloomy face 'lit up'. His eyes now moved from the banana to the empty space beneath it on the ground, from this to the box, then back to the space, and from there to the banana. The next moment he gave a cry of joy, and somersaulted over to the box in sheer high spirits. Completely assured of his success, he pushed the box below the banana. No man watching him could doubt the existence of a genuine 'Aha' experience in anthropoid apes." Drives manage creativity in your subconscious mind.
Creativity Is A Product Of Your Subconscious Mind Human creativity is founded on search drives. The memories of a lifetime of events are added to a galactic memory, storing knowledge inherited across millions of years of evolution. Drives can superimpose one concept on another in memory to create a new image in any imagined combination.
Even a child can imagine a chair with an attitude, or a refrigerator with a toothache. By interpolating millions of possibilities, your subconscious mind arrives at new and original solutions. Creativity stands on the firm foundation of a search drive, which manipulates a gargantuan memory.
Search Drives Weigh You Down More stress is a distinct possibility if you manage a large organization. Any large enterprise has many problems, demanding solutions. Within your subconscious mind, multiple drives persistently search for solutions to endless issues. Unless managed, these drives persist, recycling their searches, and repeatedly encountering frustrations. Those frustrated searches create a turmoil of emotions, giving you no peace. Persons, who retire from such responsibilities report a feeling of a burden lifted off their shoulders the very next day! Effective mind control requires an awareness of such drives in your subconscious mind. Systematic planning and mindfulness exercises can free you from the burdens of such drives.
