Although the lower subconscious mind is said to be the "lower level", its operation is actually very advanced and complex, and the lower subconscious has always done a good job in managing the operation of the body, and has made a lot of contributions to maintaining human health. The lower subconscious is also a world of bestiality and instinct, a primitive and uncivilized part of human beings, and a source of crime and violence. The lower subconscious contains all the repression that is not accepted by the conscious, thus forming phobias, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, delusions, hallucinations and nightmares. ”

The middle subconscious, called the "preconscious" by the psychoanalytic school, refers to the materials that are not usually stored in the consciousness, as long as we recall, think, and express them, these materials are located in the middle subconscious. For example, "What is your mobile phone number?", "What is the name of your freshman teacher?", "Who was your first boyfriend?", and so on. Before these questions are raised, the data is not in your consciousness, but stored in the middle subconscious, there is no gap between the consciousness and the middle subconscious, it is easy to introduce the level of consciousness through introspection, sometimes a rhetorical question is enough, everything buried in the lower subconscious, it is difficult to find, this is the biggest challenge for psychotherapists. ”

Wu Lang put the tea leaves in Professor Li's teacup, poured hot water, and handed it to him with both hands.

Professor Li smiled and waved his hand, and said: "For example, when a writer is immersed in a book, there is an endless stream of inspiration, and afterwards, even he is surprised: "How can I write so well? In fact, at that moment, he connected to the high-level subconscious, reaching a state that could not be achieved in an ordinary state. In the state of hypnosis, once the high-level subconscious is connected, many wonderful phenomena will be produced, as well as amazing therapeutic effects. Many years ago, when I was meditating, suddenly my whole body felt completely gone, and I was in boundless joy, like a molecule of water in the ocean, one with the universe, but clearly aware of my own existence, although this wonderful state only lasted for one night, but it became the key to the direction of my future life, so to speak, that night, I connected to the higher subconscious. The higher subconscious is the world of inspiration, wisdom, intuition, insight, enlightenment, divineness, compassion, and the higher subconscious, which is equivalent to the term "superconscious" that I like to use. ”

"The content of the consciousness world is what we are directly aware of at this moment, such as feelings, thoughts, emotions, desires, images, impulses, memories, expectations, plans, etc., as the focus of our awareness changes, the connotation is constantly changing, the consciousness can be expanded or contracted, this self is the center of our current consciousness, is the center of self-identity, in the simplest words, it is what we think we are in ordinary times, and I like to use "small self" to describe it. ”

Wu Lang looked at Professor Li and nodded.

Professor Li also nodded and smiled, and then said: "In contrast to the central self of consciousness, the higher self is the spiritual self, the real self, the former is the small self, and the latter is the greater self. The ego is the center of consciousness and personality, while the higher self is the center of the subconscious and encompasses a broader level. It can be described in terms of superpersonal self, true self, fountain, core, pinnacle, but unfortunately, most people live in the ego all their lives, unaware of the existence of the ego. There is also a kind called collective subconscious, which refers to the existence that transcends the individual and enters the cosmic existence, as if all the experience and wisdom of life are all gathered here, including human beings, various animals, plants, if there are aliens, there are life forms in different spaces, if there are various Buddhas, gods, ghosts, elves, and gods, then they are all part of the collective subconscious. ”

After listening to Professor Li's explanation, Wu Lang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at him, and said: "Uncle, the subconscious refers to the part of human mental activity that cannot be recognized or is not recognized, and it is the mental activity process that has occurred but has not reached the state of consciousness We are not aware of the subconscious, but the ways in which it influences conscious experience are fundamental, such as how we perceive ourselves and others, how we perceive the meaning of our daily activities in life, our ability to make quick judgments and decisions about life and death, and the actions we take in our instinctive experiences. Including the deepest spiritual and spiritual things, as well as our deeply buried desires, beliefs, values, sometimes we think we know, in fact, there are many deep beliefs that we are not aware of, but they are deeply hidden in the subconscious and have a huge impact on us. ”

Professor Li drank tea, listened to Wu Lang's understanding, smiled and nodded frequently.

"Everything that happens to us has its subconscious element, and the subconscious mind seems to play a small role in our daily lives, but the truth is that the subconscious mind is the invisible source of our rational thinking. The subconscious mind dominates our mental activity, it is standard in all vertebrate brains, and consciousness is more like an additional function of the product, the human sensory system is transmitting 11,000,000 bits of information per second to the brain, and the information that we mean can process is actually only about 16 to 50 bits per second. We only perceive about 5% of our cognitive functions, and the remaining 95% are outside of our perception and exert a huge impact on our lives. No matter what your brain does, your subconscious mind always dominates your mental activities, for example, we may choose a lifelong partner because we have the same name, we may invest in the stock just because the name of the stock reads more smoothly, we will affect our food consumption because of the difference in the amount of food packaging, we will feel comfortable doing everything because of the smooth mood today, very smooth, and so on. After Wu Lang finished speaking his understanding, he looked at Professor Li.

Hahaha......

Professor Li looked up and laughed, and patted Wu Lang on the shoulder again and again, indicating that he agreed with his statement.

After a long time, Professor Li said: "Recently, foreign scientists have done an interesting experiment, let me tell you about it. ”

Wu Lang nodded hurriedly, straightened up, and looked at Professor Li calmly.

"How everyone was born in this world must be familiar to everyone. One day, your dad met your mom, they had some fun, and later, you slowly grew from a small embryo, and then punched and kicked with loud cries, born into this world, although you are 50% of your parents, but you are 100% unique. But it's not that simple, in addition to the genome from your parents, you are also a collection of viruses and bacteria, and it is very likely that there are "others" living in your body, of course, if you are twins, then you may still have some of your twin brothers and sisters in your body. However, it is still possible for "strangers" to lurk in some corner of your body and try to influence you. ”

Wu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then listened more attentively to Professor Li's story.

"Human beings are not a single individual, but a super-individual, many different human and non-human individuals have been trying to compete for control in our bodies, the human body itself is a "hodgepodge" of various organic matter, human internal organs live a kind of microorganism that can produce neurotransmitters, so as to change people's mood, scientists have found that some microorganisms can affect people's "appetite", make people want to eat a certain food. In nature, the microbes in the rat take control of the host, by making the mouse easy prey for the cat, and at the same time switching to the more comfortable host environment - the cat's body, which is also likely to happen in humans. Sometimes human beings don't behave as autonomously as we think they are, and we may wonder about our self-awareness, "Who are we?"
