The Subconscious Mind and the Sixth Sense

Chapter 17 Who is guiding me (4)
[The subconscious hopes to pursue happiness and avoid pain, so that we often face the illusion. 】

Do you believe your eyes?Do you think what you see is accurate?You will definitely say: "Of course I believe, because I believe in myself." However, sometimes your eyes are not trustworthy.Because sometimes the things that the eyes focus on may be just the appearance of things, not the real essence, and sometimes your subconscious may also deceive you, making you believe that there is another situation where you control your subconscious, so the illusion.

One day, the professor walked into the classroom with a smile on his face and was going to do an experiment for everyone.College students like this kind of test, so the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became active.When the questionnaire was sent out, there were only two questions:
The first question: He loves her very much.She has a slender oval face, curved eyebrows, fair complexion, and beautiful.But one day, she was unfortunately involved in a car accident, and after recovering, she left several big and ugly scars on her face.Do you think he will love her as always?

A. He will definitely B. He will definitely not C. He may be

The second question: She loves him very much.He is an elite in the business world, elegant and calm, daring to fight and fight hard.Suddenly one day, he went bankrupt.Do you think she will still love him as before?

A. She will definitely B. She will definitely not C. She will probably

After the questionnaire was collected, the professor made some statistics and found that 10% of the students in the first test question chose A, 10% of the students chose B, and the remaining 80% of the students chose C.For the second test question, 30% of the students choose A, 30% of the students choose B, and 40% of the students choose C.

The professor discovered the problem, and joked with a smile: "It seems that the disfigurement of a beautiful woman is more intolerable than a man's bankruptcy. When doing these two questions, do you subconsciously regard him and her as a lover relationship?"

"Yes." The students replied in unison.

"However, the question itself doesn't say that he and she are lovers?" The professor seemed to look at everyone meaningfully: "Now, let's assume that the 'she' in the first question is the mother of 'his'. The 'he' in the second question is the father of 'her'. If you were asked to do these two questions again, would you still stick to the original choice?"

The questionnaire was sent to the students again, and the classroom suddenly became very quiet, and the young faces became dignified and deep.A few minutes later, the questionnaire was collected, and the professor did the statistics again. Almost all of the two questions were chosen as A.

Illusions and associations in the subconscious are commonplace in real life, so there will be a subconscious that people naturally ask themselves as soon as they get the question.The subconscious mind knows a lot, not only knows the mysteries of the universe, but also understands all the truth, so there are cases of scientists completing scientific problems in their dreams, which is also the function of the subconscious mind.Some people say that the subconscious mind is very good to the master, so it helps the master to complete the illusion.Why is there an illusion?Because people's consciousness wants to pursue happiness and avoid pain, it will produce illusions.

In fact, women are more likely to be influenced by the subconscious and more likely to have illusions.For example, many women make a mistake—seeing other people’s clothes look good, they will think that they will look very beautiful on themselves, so women like to read fashion magazines, every time they see beautiful clothes in magazines, they will subconsciously I think of the model as myself, and I am very excited. I want to take off the clothes on the model and wear them on myself, which leads to impulsive consumption. I go to the mall or go to the Internet to search until I buy the clothes and put them on. Body shape, skin color, shooting angle and other reasons make the clothes look so beautiful.

People always like to subconscious those beautiful and happy things. Even if it is illusory, preconceived ideas define something, and people will stick to their own ideas.The story of suspecting that the neighbor stole the ax is a typical subconscious illusion. When the ax is lost and the neighbor is suspected of stealing it, it looks like he stole it. The behavior and language are similar. When the ax is found, it feels that the neighbor does not see it picture.

When the subconscious takes the initiative, associations and illusions are created.So I will follow my subconscious mind and regard my neighbors as imaginary thieves stealing an axe. I even feel that talking to myself in a low voice is a guilty conscience. When the ax is found, the association disappears, so everything is relieved.

A person raised a little white cat. One day, the kitten was lost, and she ran away and never came back. She was very sad.One day, she found a white cat in the community, and the kitten meowed at her. She looked at the kitten's eyes and felt that it was the cat she had lost.She and her husband rushed to bring him home, bathed and bought cat food, only to find out that it was a male cat and not a female cat.

This illusion is very outrageous, and she once questioned it, because there is a black hair on the top of the kitten's head, but her husband said: "It likes to rub its head on the ground, it must have touched it while rubbing, and you don't know it This habit."

This story is also a typical story about subconscious people's delusions. Because they love the lost kitten, they will have the illusion of a white cat. It's a dirty thing, in fact, it's a combination of illusion and association.As early as the moment I saw the cat, my friend already believed in the fact that "the cat is my own". It wasn't until I found out that the cat was a male cat that I had to change the "fact" I believed.

Many times, we will have that kind of illusion. For example, when we have a crush on someone, everything about the other person is beautiful, so we will feel that every move, every frown and smile of the other person is for ourselves, and occasionally we feel that what the other person says is also because of Be "interesting" to yourself.People who are in a crush are easy to associate, so they will sink deeper and deeper in the quagmire of illusions.

The subconscious mind does not know how to distinguish between right and wrong, black and white, right and wrong, it can only save the memory itself simply and straightforwardly.Therefore, when you encounter a scam like the one mentioned above, the subconscious mind will increase your attention, and it will be easier to fight against the conscious mind, and it will be easier to accept new stimuli and new information.

So, the subconscious will tell you "you will be cheated", and then you will be really cheated.Next time, it will be the same again.It is precisely because of this reason that you clearly know that mung bean soup cannot cure all diseases, and the so-called eight treasure pills are just a false name, and those young priests of Shaolong Temple cannot really save people , But in the end, you still believe it, you will still snap up mung beans, and you will still obsessively queue up to make an appointment and wait for the so-called expert to treat you.The more experiences and memories of the same kind that your subconscious retains, the stronger it will be, and the easier it will be to be stimulated when encountering such events again.

After the Japanese tsunami, some places in China frantically scrambled for salt.Thinking about it now, the whole thing feels ridiculous, grotesque, and poignant.The "basic principle" of this rumor can be summed up as follows: due to the nuclear radiation leakage incident in Japan, some people believe that the sea salt extracted from seawater may be contaminated by nuclear radiation in the future, so everyone must immediately Hoarding salt... Of course, there was also the mentality of some people hoarding salt to fight against the rising CPI during the period.The two mentalities were intertwined, and rumors spread like wildfire, spreading throughout mainland China and Hong Kong and Macau regions of China.In the collective panic, the power of consciousness becomes fragile and unstable, and the subconscious quickly absorbs information and becomes the master of behavior, making people act as if they were collectively hypnotized.

The power of illusions and associations is immeasurable.At the beginning, many people thought that the "salt shortage" was just a "trick" used by salt vendors to increase sales, but when they dubiously went to the supermarket to inquire, they found that the salt shelves were empty and were also snapped up. There are also soy sauce, pickles, even diapers, milk powder and many other daily necessities.Only then did people know that the era of salt grabbing by the whole people has come!

It turns out that there are two types of people in the world: those who hoard salt and those who don't.People are worried that the tsunami in Japan will cause radiation because of panic. They heard that salt can prevent radiation, and they are also worried that seawater will pollute salt, so there is a craze for salt rush. Although there is no scientific basis, when consumers see empty shelves Sometimes, his subconscious mind will dominate his thoughts, making him believe that he should also join the salt grabbing army, and even regret that he bought less or could not get it.When the government staff denied the absurd claim that "salt can protect against radiation" and the shelves were covered with emergency salt, there was another wave of salt withdrawal.

There is such a story.

At a banquet where everyone was drinking, the cook burst in mid-dinner and said that he had made a fatal mistake by putting some kind of poison in the food as a condiment.The guests were stunned, and immediately felt unbearable pain, nausea and vomiting, and even dizziness and fainting symptoms in severe cases.After a while, the cook came back and clarified that he hadn't done anything terribly wrong, that what he had just said was not true, but that he had made a mistake.Then, a miracle happened again, and the "patients" quickly returned to normal. The pain and vomiting symptoms just disappeared, and everyone returned to the elation just now.

These facts all illustrate the same truth, people's subconscious mind sometimes deceives people.

A writer is often airsick.Once, on the plane, he saw the woman sitting next to him take out a long white tube, then took out a tablet the size of a 1 yuan coin, and put it into the water provided on the plane.The water turned into foam with a hissing sound, and she gulped it down.The writer was stunned, not knowing what it was.He questioned the woman out of curiosity, only to learn that it was an effervescent tablet!The effervescent tablet not only boosts the body's immune system, but also helps people fight off the germs around them when flying.The inventor of this product is a teacher in the second grade of elementary school. She discovered that children always carry various germs on their bodies, so she invented this product. Immediately felt a lot more comfortable.

Since then, the writer has never had airsickness again.Since then, the writer has used effervescent tablets on every flight.Those effervescent tablets gave the writer a good feeling. Every time he drank it, he would feel confident and healthy, and would no longer worry about airsickness.Until a few years later, the writer read the newspaper and found that the elementary school teacher who invented the effervescent tablet was accused of false advertising, and also revealed that the effervescent tablet did not have so many effects.The writer was stunned after looking at it, the aviation effervescent tablet lost its magic power, maybe from then on, he will take the plane with a painful expression again.

In fact, the writer in the story just took the effervescent tablets exaggerating their medicinal effects as a kind of spiritual sustenance, which was just an illusion. Because he believed it, the effect of the effervescent tablets was amplified.Nervousness and anxiety will reduce the body's immunity. The writer is prone to illness or airsickness because of fatigue. In the following months, the author strictly followed the instructions and felt good after taking it every time. He found that this medicine can overcome Various aviation diseases.We all know that it's not that the effervescent tablets are effective, but that he regards the aviation effervescent tablets as a placebo. He is sure that it can bring him a good feeling, and the writer has subconsciously identified its role.

So far, do you still believe your eyes?What you see is not necessarily true, maybe your subconscious is deceiving you.
