How do you Program the Subconscious mind? Explain in detail Please!:D

[Starman]

Various methods are used such as self hypnosis, positive affirmations, visualization of desired outcomes, subliminal suggestions. These are based on the assumption that whatever the subconscious is fed it tries to bring to reality in our lives. Picture yourself as a loser constantly and the subconscious will try to make you fail. Not because it is your enemy, simply because it thinks that's what you want it to do. In short the subconscious is neither against you or for you, it behaves like a machine-as computer of sorts that reacts to the task it is given. That's why positive imagery, and statements are used in order to tell the subconscious that's what you want it to work on. Below is an interesting article.

Like computer programs, we can be misconfigured and need to reprogram our subconscious minds. " Evelyn Cole

The subconscious is inaccessible to us. According to Freud, the SC determines what we are, how we respond, etc, and is the repository of hidden repressed materials. We can fenagle our Conscious but our Subconscious, like our ID, fenagles us, until and unless our Alter-Ego is sufficiently developed to overpower impulses from beneath that seek to determine our behaviour, responses, etc.

I will view Cole's article but do not expect it to be of any consequence, because if the statement you attribute to her is her own, then her proposition is laughable, and whatever follows probably owes more to Disney than to scientific psychology.

I agree that that is the intention, but psychotherapy is still in its formative stages and the understanding (!) of it changes every few years. Not all psychologists go along with Freud's categories, so the question is still very open. It is well to remember that the id, subconscious, and super-ego are terms for things that are posited but not demonstrated. Under hypnosis or the so-called 'cathartic' drugs, who can say with any degree of certaintly that the subconscious has been accessed?

Psychoanalysis has been described as like a farmer who wants to know the weight of his pig, who lays a plank acoss a wall and puts the pig on one and, and selects various heavy stones to place on the other end, and when he finds one that balances, he guesses the weight of the stone.

Are we to believe that a person's mind is not under his own control? If so, what does that say about moral agency and the freedom to choose?
