The Subconscious

Our mind is like an iceberg. The conscious mind is the 5% above the water. The hidden 95%, the subconscious, is below the water and controls all our automatic processes: such as heart rate, breathing, digestion, driving, etc.

The subconscious can also be programmed directly without our awareness. This is how the few control the many with mainstream media and 11 Deceits.

Carl Jung initially worked with Sigmund Freud but went his way because he disagreed with Freud’s emphasis on sexuality. Jung’s approach, which uses archetypes and the collective unconscious, is known as analytical psychology.

Jung held that the human psyche has three parts;

The ego (the conscious mind).

Personal unconscious (memories and suppressed memories).

Collective unconscious.

Archetypes come from the collective subconscious and organise how we experience things. They are innate, hereditary and universal. He held that our mind is not a ‘blank slate’ at birth, but the subconscious contains many ‘primordial images’ from our ancestors.

The main archetypes are:

The persona - how we present ourselves to the world.

The shadow - unconscious repressed ideas, feelings, desires and failures, and sex drive. Jung held that some people deny their shadow and project it onto others.

Anima or animus - the anima is the female aspect in the male, and the animus is the male aspect in the female.

The Self - our goal: unifying the conscious and unconscious through individuation.

Jung’s Psychological Types Theory states that we experience the world in four ways: feeling, thinking, sensation, and intuition. One way is dominant most of the time, and each can be expressed in an introverted or extroverted way.

By pairing them up, we obtain insights into the personality:

Sensing vs Intuition - how we gather information; thinkers use rational logic, while feelers use subjective feelings.

Thinking vs. Feeling - How we make decisions; sensors focus on tangible facts and details, intuition on possibilities and potentials.

Extroversion vs Introversion - where we get our energy from; extroverts are directed outside, introverts inside themselves.

Everyone has a dominant side in each pair with the other playing a supporting role.

These categories are the foundation for the widely-used Myers-Briggs Personality Type Test.

The subconscious is a high-speed and observant survival machine. It constantly scans our environment, and notices and stores about 11 million things a second. We are only conscious of about 140 things a second. Mainstream media knows this and continually programmes the population's subconscious through tv, radio, film, newspapers, social media etc using 11 deceits. This is how the few control the many.
