“In the deep subconscious mind, the seeds planted by our thoughts and actions grow in the garden of our soul”

While we have some agency around our conscious awareness, much of what we do, say, believe, think, and feel comes from the vast ocean of process and experience that is our subconscious. Our subconscious mind is taking in everything around us - every vibration, every color, every sound, every texture of reality. Our magnificent neural network collects this data and only the things we feel are important are given awareness. Our focus is partly voluntary choice and partly subconscious response based on memory, response to danger, survival, strong emotions, past trauma, and anything else the subconscious mind decides is worthy of attention.

We can literally snap into attention and new awareness as our subconscious minds sense the world around us - be it a threat or something we have a strong connection to.

Every thought, every action, and every external stimuli gets associated with what is happening in the world around us and what has happened in the past. We form habits and behaviors and even personality traits based on the automatic expression of our subconscious minds. Our subconscious minds are very powerful and they dictate much of what we do. It takes more than self control to change how we act, to change our habits. We have to brainwash ourselves into new associations to change the way our subconscious minds process reality.

Everything is a seed. Take care what you choose to grow 💖
