> George is correct here. There was an article in the New York
Times just this week that indicates our conscious mind has
quite limited control over the subconscious, and that we
operate primarily at the subconscious level.
This is a really interesting topic. Your conscious mind can really
screw you up. There are several "Inner" books out there; e.g. "Inner Tennis".
You don't have to be a tennis player to understand and appreciate the
conflict. Your subconscious knows what to do - don't let your conscious mind
screw
it up.
Here's an example. When my son was little - 4-5-ish - I took him to
a rock climbing area so we could mess around climbing a little bit. He did
EVERYTHING right instinctively. It's when you become an adult and forget all
that stuff and your conscious mind starts up - What if I slip? I'm scared.
What
do I do now?
It's also called getting in the Zone where you don't even have to
think about something to do it. The challenge is to be able to get in the Zone
when you need to.
