A Walk Through the Human Mind

A Walk Through the Human Mind

The concept of three levels of mind is nothing new. Sigmund Freud, the famous Austrian psychologist was probably the first to popularize it into mainstream society as we know it today. Even though his theories have subsequently been widely disputed in Psychology circles because they are very hard to scientifically prove, Freud nonetheless created a useful model of the mind, which he separated into 3 tiers or sections – the conscious mind or ego, the preconscious, and the unconscious mind.

The best way that people have found to illustrate the concept of the three minds is by using a triangle. If you imagine at the very tip of the triangle is your conscious mind. It occupies only a small portion of space at the top, a bit like an iceberg where only a fraction of it is showing above the water. It probably represents about 10% of your brain capacity.

Below this is a slightly larger section that Freud called the preconscious, or what some refer to as the subconscious. It is much larger than the conscious mind and accounts for around 50-60% of your brain capabilities.

The section below this is the unconscious mind. It occupies the whole width of the base of the triangle and fills out the other 30-40% of the triangle. It is vast and deep and largely inaccessible to conscious thought, a bit like the dark depths of the ocean.

How They Work Together

Your conscious mind is what most people associate with who you are, because that is where most people live day to day. But it’s by no means where all the action takes place.

Your conscious mind is a bit like the captain of a ship standing on the bridge giving out orders. In reality it’s the crew in the engine room below deck (the subconscious and the deeper unconscious) that carry out the orders. The captain may be in charge of the ship and give the orders but its the crew that actually guides the ship, all according to what training they had been given over the years to best do so.

The conscious mind communicates to the outside world and the inner self through speech, pictures, writing, physical movement, and thought.

The subconscious mind, on the other hand, is in charge of our recent memories, and is in continuous contact with the resources of the unconscious mind.

The unconscious mind is the storehouse of all memories and past experiences, both those that have been repressed through trauma and those that have simply been consciously forgotten and no longer important to us. It’s from these memories and experiences that our beliefs, habits, and behaviours are formed.

The unconscious constantly communicates with the conscious mind via our subconscious, and is what provides us with the meaning to all our interactions with the world, as filtered through your beliefs and habits. It communicates through feelings, emotions, imagination, sensations, and dreams.

The Mind in Action

The following analogy may help to clarify the concept of how the three minds work a little more.

If you imagine you mind is like a computer …

Your conscious mind is best represented by the keyboard and monitor. Data is inputted on the keyboard and the results are thrown up on the monitor screen. That is how you conscious mind works – information is taken in via some outside (or internal) stimulus from your environment and the results are thrown up instantaneously into your consciousness.

Your subconscious is like the RAM in your computer. For those who don’t know, RAM is the place in a computer where programs and data that are currently in use are kept so they can easily be reached quickly by the computer processor. It is much faster than other types of memory, such as the hard disk or CD-ROM.

Your subconscious works in the same way. Any recent memories are stored there for quick recall when needed, such as what your telephone number is or the name of a person you just met. It also holds your current programs that you run every day, such as your current recurring thoughts, behaviour patterns, habits, and feelings.

Your unconscious is like the hard disk drive in your computer. It is the long term storage place for all your memories and programs that have been installed since birth.

Your unconscious mind (and ultimately your subconscious mind) then uses these programs to make sense of all the data you receive from the world and to keep you safe and ensure your survival. The logic of these two minds is that if it worked in the past and you survived, then it will help you get through similar situations by the same means, no matter how misguided, painful, and unhelpful the results may be to you personally in the outside world.

Quantum Jumping – The inter – Dimensional Quest FOR a better you

Day dreaming is thinking.

Your intent makes the day dream an escape from reality, a simple recreation, or a creative resource. When you direct your day dream towards a specific objective ,it becomes a powerful tool for you to use to better your life.

Your eyes see things as they are, your daydreams see things as they could be. Your mind activates your dreams through your physical actions. But All achievements, whether they are of a financial, personal or universal nature, begin with a dream of a successful end result – a day dream

When you alter the thoughts that have become beliefs in your mind then time comes into play while you adjust to a new situation. Your body is used to reacting to certain beliefs without question and when a new idea comes along to chip away at that belief the idea may or may not be accepted by your mind in a timely fashion. Your beliefs are like a radio, receiving only transmissions that are in tune with that belief.

When you change the belief the new signals may be filled with static. This is all taken into consideration with the use and development of Quantum Jumping.

The more you utilize quantum jumping to seek out a twin self who has already solved the problem, or adjusted the situation that you are working on the more successful you will be.

The goal should be a change in attitude so that you can just daydream the positive end result of any situation. This will build your self esteem and confidence and motivate you to take actions you would not have taken with an attitude of defeat or doubt.

Practice Beauty - The Art & Neuroscience of Freedom

There is a place where all things begin, the place of pure energy that simply "is" the place of the power that awaits us when we allow ourselves to venture beyond the limits of what we have always believed to be possible in our lives. Joining the long separated worlds of science and spirit. Accessing the most powerful tools from each discipline creates a fertile environment to awaken to the power of the higher brain. To awaken to the experience of inner peace, vast insight and extraordinary creativity that define the experience of enlightenment.

“Practice Beauty, possibility to apply to the mysteries of our everyday lives”

Father & Son 5 Peak Challenge on Ryans Birthday - Pre Everest Marathon Test - 85000 Fit bit steps in a day

The Challenge was Designed By Stevie Kidd through experiencing a continual Limiting Belief that he had embedded within his mind, from away last year. This was when he climbed Kilimanjaro then came off the mountain then ran a marathon. However Stevie fixated on how he felt on Roof of Africa and pain was horrendous he remembers..

This year Stevie has to climb to base camp at Everest and then run a marathon, his attention was focused on how he felt on top of Kilimanjaro last year. He describes it as the worst pain he has ever experienced.. So he wanted clarification that this year was going to be different with the challenge ahead of him, so he designed a test but wanted company along the way...

Below is Image is Stevie on Roof of Africa and completion of Kilimanjaro Marathon...

So Stevie approached 3 people to support him,

1st Person : His Son Ryan, who has trained since age of 8, even though Ryan knew it was his birthday on day of challenge he said "Yes" immediately. My dad has been here for me his whole life, its now my turn to repay him.. and Its a great way to spend my birthday also .. Ryan Kidd

2nd Person: Ricardo Pallisco , A neighbour, Friend, Training partner , also someone who is real endurance athlete within cycling world. Ricardo for me was the rock for me especially going up Ben Nevis in the dark. Also with Ricardo endurance experience he was key to whole day.

" I had no reservations, when he called I said yes immediately"

3rd Person : Alex Hutchison, a man who came through Stevie award winning academy model and ex employee who was now retired. We required a driver as from peak to peak we had a distance to travel and this gave us rest time.. " The journey I was on with Stevie changed my life, how could I say no"

The Challenge ahead of us...

Challenge completed - So Lets start with the end

Climbed mountains in 24 hours - 1120pm we started at bottom of Ben nevis

My Learning - I walk the talk and prove to my clients what is “possible” , but at the same time I prove the concept we all suffer at times in the same way. I also have limiting beliefs but recognise them. This was example of me eliminating those limiting beliefs. How do I know they are gone, because when I think of Everest marathon the visual of me in pain at top of Kilimanjaro is no longer within my mind. If you consider and stop and walk through what we accomplished it was one hell of a challenge on so many levels.. My sincere thanks to my wife Lesley, and also the team for the support they gave me, it was a magnificent 24 hours in a day and night..

Stevie Kidd the Executive coach : I have spent 30 years studying human behaviour, I am a coach who walks the talk. I lead by example for my clients to follow what is possible.. I am coached in 3 areas of my life and set huge goals and achieve them because I understand the mind.  If you want a no obligation call to explore your possible coaching journey then reach out to stevie@steviekidd.co.uk , as after this one session you will see the world differently..

Limiting beliefs are those which constrain us in some way. Just by believing them, we do not think, do or say the things that they inhibit. And in doing so we impoverish our lives. ... Limiting beliefs are often about our selves and our self-identity.
