Programming the Subconscious Mind - it may sound a little extreme, but imagine the potential!

The conscious mind can process about 40 bits of information per second; the subconscious mind can process 40 Million bits of information per second! Imagine if you could program the subconscious mind by delivering millions of instructions to it - per second.

Of course, we constantly program our subconscious minds without realizing it. The conversations we have with ourselves and others, the information we expose ourselves to, our experiences, and our general way of thinking, all program the subconscious mind by default! The result can be seen in patterns in our lives.

The Subconscious Mind Controls Vital Bodily Functions.
A small example of the Power of programming the subconscious mind is this: one of the bodily functions controlled by the subconscious is the production and absorption of HGH (human growth hormone). One of the reasons for the physical effects of aging is a decline in the tendancy of the body to produce and absorb less HGH. If you could program your subconscious, you could instruct it to increase production and absorption of your body's own natural HGH, thus helping to diminish the effects of aging!

The Subconscious Mind Controls Habits.
We all have a wide variety of habits we're unaware of, from physical habits to emotional and mental habits, and it can take immense work, time and will-power (not to mention therapy) to change these habits. Even something as apparently simple as thinking positively, or feeling safe, can prove to be a major challenge. Imagine the possibilities if you could go directly to the source and program your subconscious mind!

Methods of Programming the Subconscious Mind.
There are various ways you can attempt to program your subconscious. Some of these are conscious and manual, others are more direct and automatic.

Affirmations.
Many people choose to use Affirmations because they're easy to start using, and are of course, portable! With affirmations it's essential to use the present tense. For example: "I am happy" rather than "I will be happy". Affirmations can take a long time - they need to be repeated many times, and over a long period before the message may get through to the subconscious. They are also dependent on the conscious mind - which will usually argue with the affirmation "No I'm not." The old beliefs and patterns can often block the instructions from reaching the subconscious. The affirmation has to try (by repetitive convincing) to gain permission from the "gatekeeper" - the conscious mind - in order to enter the subconscious.

Self Hypnosis.
This is a method of attempting to reach the subconscious but without the arguments of the conscious mind. With this method, the "gatekeeper" may be asleep, but the instructions still have to sneak past it without being noticed.

Subliminal Messaging.
A subliminal message is a message or instruction embedded in another medium, designed to pass below the normal limits of perception. These messages are unrecognizable by the conscious mind. So with this technique, the gatekeeper is out cold, and it's fairly easy for instructions to sneak past without his ever knowing they were there! However, there is a lot of debate and disagreement as to the effectiveness of this method. There are subliminal message CDs you can buy, most of which consist of a background sound like rain or music, and have messages, instructions and affirmations hidden in them, which are inaudible to the conscious mind.

P.A.T.H.S. (Program Authoring the Human Subconscious)
http://www.paths-lifeboost.com
Paths is a method of programming the subconscious mind by delivering instructions and cues directly to the subconscious, automatically.

Unlike subliminal messaging it doesn't require hours a week listening to a CD. The person using Paths will watch an online customized theater presentation for three minutes per module. The user chooses modules based on what they'd like to change in their life or body.

These visual and audio theaters include cues targeting the user's subconscious mind. The subconscious mind recognizes that the theater is specifically for that user and nobody else. The subconscious mind then downloads millions of instructions corresponding to the modules chosen, and then the presentation is over.

Over the next seven days, on average, the user's brain has assimilated and built new connections corresponding to the instructions received by the subconscious mind. The best analogy of how this is possible is: You could send one hundred pages to a printer all at once. The printer stores them in a memory. Then, the printer prints one page at a time, as it is able. In the same way, the brain forms new neural connections to correspond to this information, as it is able.

Although this method of programming the subconscious mind is not a magic pill, by communicating more directly with the subconscious mind in this manner and at the huge repetitious cycle that RDT (Rapid Data Transfer) utilizes, the results are realized in a very fast manner that most people are unfamiliar with.

Whatever method you find works for you, the potential of being able to program the subconscious mind is "mind-blowing" especially when you take into account the experiments conducted by the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR)
http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/

The PEAR program at Princeton University was set up to determine if human consciousness can externally affect the physical world. In 2007, PEAR was closed because they accomplished what they set out to do.

The Subconscious Mind IS the Final Frontier!

Here's an analogy I believe helps to explain one of the differences in perspective between the conscious, and the subconscious minds:

When you go and see a horror movie, like "Jaws" (okay, it's an old one, but I don't do horror movies, and can't think of a more recent one ;) your body reacts as if it's in danger. Your heartbeat increases, your palms get sweaty, the "fight or flight" chemicals course through you.

The only thing that stops you from running screaming into the street, is your Concsious Mind, which knows it's just a movie.

The subconscious is programmed to react to stimuli, depending on your experience and genetic programming.

I once met someone who was terrified of bananas! A grown man, who was perfectly normal in every way - a very charismatic and successful business man - except that when he saw a banana, he broke into a cold sweat, his heartbeat increased, and he felt "fear".

Of course, his conscious mind knew that a banana was no threat to him (thank goodness or he's unlikely to have succeeded in business as he did if he ran screaming every time fruit salad was served at business lunches!) but his subconscious had somehow become programmed to put his body into a state of emergency when a banana was registered.

He had no idea what the connection was, and presumably the incident that caused the connection between banana and threat was long forgotten by the conscious mind. Here's one of the possibilities. It's possible that, as a baby, he was either looking at or eating a banana, while daydreaming - and therefore in a very vulnerable mental state. A loud bang, or some other startling and sudden experience, happening in that moment, could have connected the object he was focusing on, and the automatic reaction caused by the sudden shock. Because our experiences are so unique, the same incident happening to another child may not have had the same effect.

This is an extreme example of course, but there are many "automatic" reactions programmed into the subconscious mind, of which the conscious mind not only has a different perspective, but of which it may not even be aware.
