How the Subconscious Affects Us | Episode 1703 | Closer To Truth 

I've always loved your series, but I'm so excited to see you exploring more topics like these! There really isn't another show out there like this. The camera work is fantastic, and your knowledge and your ability to seek out scholars is commendable. Keep up the great work!

I love this channel. Should b more content like this. Robert is so bright, inquisitive and respectful of everyone he interviews!

By default, it assists our wrong feelings and thinking. Helps us to come up with false notions, bad ideas, and making wrong decisions and moves. Helps us to stress ourselves out trying to do everything by our mind and willpower alone. In other words, it directs mechanical autopilot action and impulses. So in that aspect it’s not much of a friend to us. But with effort, it also assists us in the right decisions we make. The truth, is that it’s at our command, but we don’t know yet how to command it.

I’m most impacted by Julia Mossbridge’s concept that the our available consciousness is the filtered version of reality that our greater consciousness allows us access to on a ‘need to know’ basis.

Mr. Robert, If I should have a channel on RU-vid myself, this would be it. I'm a big fan cos you speak my mind all the time, due to my long journey into epsitemology. Please keep it up! and Thanks for your efforts and insights.

Interesting idea, that religion and belief in an afterlife might have started with people having dreams of meeting 'ancestors' and other dead loved ones.

Subconsciousness...the barely audible crack of a stepped on twig. A barely discernable smell of smoke. Any kind of stimuli can get the subconscious going. I think our analyzing brains want to identify and settle any issue quickly. Whether we want it to or not. I suspect that most of our subconsciousness is a direct response to barely noticeable stimuli. Robert Kuhn, thank you for all of your videos.

It is incredible how Robert Lawrence Kuhn so facilitatively brings up Freud when speaking of dreams and their connection with past traumatic events, yet completely ignores Jung. He knocks down Freud's theories like a bowler bowling a strike; yet, it appears that Kuhn is completely unconscious of Jung.

The subconscious is a relatively new field of psychology that has been around for just over 100 years or so. It developed out of the earlier understandings of the unconscious, which was introduced in 1895 by Sigmund Freud. According to Freud, the subconscious is a place where we store our memories and emotions - things that are not currently conscious but still important for us. The subconscious is not a single entity, but rather a place where we store our memories and emotions. The way that it affects us can be summed up into two parts: automatic processes and non-automatic processes. For automatic processes, the subconscious is responsible for a variety of things. For instance, it helps us to speak fluently and without conscious thought. It helps us to remember important information - like our phone number or social security number. For non-automatic processes, the subconscious is responsible for our dreams. This is a very interesting phenomenon as it serves as an avenue where we can explore ourselves and learn more about what makes us who we are. You may be asking yourself, how can dreams tell us about ourselves? This is a very good question and one that cannot really be answered in its entirety. It could potentially help to gain insight into our own minds, but at the same time it is impossible to know if this apparent 'self' we discover in our dreams is indeed correct. That is exactly why dreams are interesting. It's because there is no way to know whether the subconscious itself can be trusted.

Every program from you is a gem

Thanks for the enlightenment. You’re doing a wonderful job. We appreciate you

Mossbridge’s explicatiin of the subconscious in relation to the conscious is extremely amenable to the understanding of how the divine Logos, Memrah or the second person of the Trinity interacted with the material world in the person of Jesus.

Ah man Eagleman, I respect you so much. Thank God there is interest into these topics

My work experiences dealing with people who have traumatic memories lead me to agree with the last guest’s perceptions about the unconscious mind.

Thank you for making these videos. They are instructive and entertaining. Well done.

I have been watching your videos for months now and I find them thought provoking. On this one I am wondering why no mention of Carl Jung and his works on the subconscious? Do you not consider his ideas worth consideration?

The subconscious is mind blowing. I walked into a church and immediately felt the floor was wrong. I looked down and it was laminate flooring, but it wasnt when I felt it. It was carpet that looked like laminate flooring. My brain had seen laminate, and was waiting for the effect laminate had on my feet, and when it was wrong, it alerted me, like a totally different person.

I felt closer to truth, amazing work!

The remote viewing lady needs to have a talk with The Amazing Randy.

These are superb documentaries -- very much appreciated. Did you make these?

it still makes logical sense to me that dreams are a real outlet for what you really think. yet from the dreams that i do recall, they truly seldom if ever have much ground in reality. i can never recall them having any effect on me the following day, other than to perhaps talk about the dream. but the dream itself never made me more happy, or more sad, etc. i do have more bad dreams than good ones. the only thing i can think of in that regard, is that perhaps it releases fears, and allows me to have a more optimistic attitude ? that is just a speculation.

People really should give much more attention to the subconscious. Examining it, exploring it's capabilities and role. Even in their own lives, be observant, pay attention to how it works, and how it's responds, what it responds to and how it brings a result. If you do you'll see much more than you expected.

subconscious is a high speed brain connected to conscious through extremely complex filtering such that conscious can not have direct healthy access like a bridge to subconscious. Conscious mind is a peaceful mind where subconscious is the battlefield. Subconscious can implement conscious ideas and deliver in a form of signal for conscious to process the outcome of high calculated result. It is the treasure and must be left alone.

Good work dude! Very interesting

I have a theory about why people marry those with the same first name letter as them slightly more often. Maybe it's because of alphabetical seating by first names or lockers in some high schools or colleges? Gets people talking

I am so grateful for RLK's humility

RU-vid videos of Dr. Bruce Lipton explain subconscious state very well.

5:02 he describes the ideal vision of an organic corporation here not reality-employees are often subject to the one-dimensional logic of management’s top-down imperatives despite cries from the trenches. Much more of a one-sided relation to power than some organic decisional harmony when it comes down to corporate employment in today’s market societies. But the analogy to the mind “the whole thing makes the decision” not just some part, is good.

Great episode👍

The unconscious is simply put all the rest that we are not conscious of!! We are conscious of our physical surroundings, our bodies and whatever internal states and qualia that we may happen to be experiencing at the moment!! That leaves a huge huge other that we are not experiencing!! Our waking consciousness is focused on a particular point on our timeline!! It’s akin to what Don Juan Matus refered to as the assemblage point!! The point in our being where we assemble our world!! I think that is equivalent to our waking consciousness!! Our focus!! Don Juan said that we could with practice shift that focus and change worlds!! Well, whatever other focuses are there lie in our unconscious!! Couldn’t we in theory unfocus ourselves from our timeline and shift to a point above the timelines?? A point they call 5-D consciousness?? Who knows???

Brilliant episode

Unconscious and subconscious realities are a slap in the face of evolutionary theory.

Robert.. I appreciate your questioning

The last lady I like her theory

Excellent..... thanks 🙏

Как же мне нравится голос и дикция ведущего! Супердикция!!

The guy with the monkey was a bit creepy. Especially due to the fact that he seemed so insensitive to the fact that his “pet”monkey was the subject of cruel experiments.

i think we have all experienced our subconscious working. in that we will try to remember something, and cant. then hours or days later, the answer comes to us, when we werent even trying to think of it. so no doubt that our sub-conscious supplies us with information. but it is still me and my actual consciousness that makes the final decision. i may dream about all sorts of crazy stuff. but i am never gonna think they are good ideas.

While person awake, conscious awareness digs into and uses subconscious information and resources to understand and interact with external reality, both material and immaterial (mind)

Robert’s subconscious must’ve wanted a mustache bc it grew fast lol

Nice social distance The 3rd grader Mike pence would be proud

I am often surprised on how this Channel doesn't have hundreds of thousands of more subscribers !

The-Unconscious (Freud's unconsciousness) does indeed exist. That the retentive awareness and experiences registered in the brain, that get repressed in the-Unconscious, remain within that spectrum of conscious (a region of consciousness that is utterly inaccessible,) and not in the memory itself. Hence, inaccessible.

Lawrence is a keen listener

Internal subconscious acts on consciousness during sleep, including dreams, communicating ideas and moods as well as exchanging information and replenishing brain / consciousness.

Blind / Mind sight trained chimp at 12 minutes is very interesting. I am not sure aphants can learn mind / blind sight., but if a chimp can, then it must have an internal mental image system.

Less, is needed to get closer to truth.

Subconscious and conscious are likely dealing with different aspects of human person, sometimes working together, mostly independent. Might be specific causative interactions, not likely to be general causation between the two.

What if our dreams are a reflection of our twins living different lives in other parallel universes?

This show has one helluva travel budget for PBS. "Hmmm... I'm curious about X... I traveled to Maui to talk to Dr. Smarty Pants... Hmmm... I'm curious about Y... I traveled to Paris to talk to Professor Super Smarty..." etc. Nice gig Larry, nice gig.

Popular names vary by decades, similar names are found in similar neighbourhoods and social classes. Making ppl with same initials more likely to have things in common and share proximity or get lumped together in social apps. It's been a year that I've heard AI would rate someone that charges his mobile more frequently as more outgoing and extrovert. The dimensionality of interaction and scale are sometimes too difficult to track but just labeling them with psychologic jargon obscures the quest. No wonder psychology suffers from replication issues, it's frequently metaphoric.

16:05 “dreams influence who we are, they influence how we build up a self so in that sense the self is central to consciousness and the self depends on dreams to some extent”

Not remembering your dreams can mean you aren't getting enough sleep.

'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.'

Do the moods in dreams come from internal awareness or picked up from external source by subconscious?

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!" "Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

7:36 this is used extensively today. By media, governments, companies, anyone that wants to get a specific action out of a group of people. Not many understand it's happening though, and causes a lot of issues.

It would be interesting if you interviewed a kabbalist on these matters. re: hierarchy of worlds(consciousness)

I think salvia made me aware of the unconscious mind, I knew everything at once.

The blind sight mystery was solved recently. The superior colliculus is a parallel visual pathway not using the V1. It's considered an artifact from our evolution. The SC is particularly suited for linear wider perspective movement, likely evolved for amphibians/lizards to spot crawling beetles, etc.

I experienced a nightmare while awake and now it haunts me. You see that's where I now live, it's the center of my reality. But, I dreamed this nightmare before it entered my concrete conscious reality.

Excellent content as always

Dreams. I' ve had a few. The reality in them is a clue Nightmares: I've had them too They crush precious peace in you.

God this was a fascinating episode

- Mind is just our thoughts - Source of the thoughts is Self/Consciousness/God - Root of all thoughts is "I" thought - "I" thought, when left unchecked, transforms into complex thoughts based on memories and creates impulses - this is referred to as subconscious Solution 1. Start watching the thoughts carefully to find the source 2. Once we find the source of the thoughts - we are done 3. Source of thoughts is the Self/Consciousness/God 4. This needs constant watching of thoughts and erasing the subconscious

Wonderful

"Sub-", or suppressed, conscious?

A good interview might be a researcher who studies the subconscious using psychedelics experimentation.

Whereas the conscious appears to be more about what is done during the day, is the subconscious more about where we are going in the long term? Would that have anything to do with sleepwalking?

@Sic semper tyrannis well said

very intresting, thanks.

We can force ourselves to become aware of our higher selves!!! Becoming entrained is a certain way to reach a meditative state. As humans, we have an instinct to "Flow". When we are all entrained with The One Groove, miracles will Be manifested. www,groovism.org is our non-profit's site. Currently airing clips of various Grooves. Soon to Be streaming 24-7!

Usually love the series, but disappointed to hear Freud's view of the Unconscious, and yet no mention of his 'protege' Carl Jung, whose whole life and body of work was _devoted_ to it (including exploring The Shadow, the Collective Unconscious, and Synchronicity, among others)? BTW, an excellent starting point might be Psychiatrist and Physician Ian McGilchrist's award-winning book 'The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World' (2009), which credits Jung, and also describes the neurological and evolutionary evidence that we are indeed of much more than just 'One' mind.

You know they cloth from those Lilly’s

The subconscious can be brought into conscious awareness through introspective techniques like meditation. Over time these techniques grant freedom the subconscious mind's manipulations and influences.

To learn more about subconscious' genius read Jaak Panksepp. He claims subconscious is more clever than conscious mind based on his empirical studies.

the lady in the end of the video got a good point not everyone but some of us is just like she says some of us is leaded by the subconcious and the majority does what has been told and taught to do it is a very complicated unsolved yet

Mind is the boss. That will explain all. Consciousness is nothing but an integration of Mind’s mental abilities, no mystery about it. Subconscious is also nothing but an integration of Mind’s mental abilities, no mystery about it. Imagination is one of Mind’s mental abilities and it can take you to the future. That is Hope or Wish. Thus, understand the mind is the first (fundamental) thing to do for exploring all of the mental abilities, such as Observation, Comprehension and etc. Physics + Biology + Cognitive science + Brain science can only find a few tiny branches of the Mind's (God’s) Tree. I don't despise science, but I don’t constrain my mind and life in science. Yes, you can radically study subconscious with conscious, because they are connected in your Mind. Play tennis is one event you use them both. What is the Mind? How does Mind produce mental abilities? How do Mind-brain interface? What is the radical way of relate Mind to God? I will tell you later when the fate is blessing.

Subconscious works from outside to the inside of human person, could be through information, waves, moods and other. Internal subconscious might be the soul.

One time I had this feeling of dejavu and when I thought about how could this be, when did I experience this in the past? I realized it was the night before in a dream.

He answered tide because it is because we have been using such detergent for a long time and one of the widely use so far.

Anyone else find it peculiar that it's almost always someone else, outside your conscience, that is telling you the true meaning and reason why you had that dream 🤔

Does the subconscious have less or more physical connections to the brain than other brain functions? What is the relationship of subconscious to the brain?

There is a video on youtube with people claiming that Stevie Wonder can actually see, that he is faking blindness. In the video Wonder is on stage in front of a microphone stand. Someone walking across the stage in front of him bumps into the microphone knocking it over, and Stevie reaches out and catches it before it falls. I’ve always been puzzled and I wonder if this blind sight is what happened.

Consciousness is an open-ended question and it depends on many factors, mainly media. I don't think we can talk about consciousness in the western context, because people are put to sleep by the media. You hardly know anyone who is aware of what is happening to the poor countries, except they are collecting money through charities to 'help' them - not knowing helping anyone is to let the person do what THEY want, not what YOU want. So, the best thing to do is talk about subconsciousness, which drives consciousness - given people are well-informed, not informed to keep them happy by ignoring important questions about the welfare of poor people. Our world need consciousness to work to be able to mend our world, not served to milk the poor for the rich.

What's interesting. If one object like a table that is made up of atoms which is not concious. And other object like a brain which is made up of also atoms but under different arrangement yet it is concious. In which electrical information flows between synapses. Question is, can conciousness exist outside of physical object like a brain. And interesting example would be observable universe or galactic filaments which has a flow. Where galaxies are connected by plasma and those galaxies would act like a synapses. Which would be Universe consciousness or galactic conciousness. From conciousness to super conciousness. It can be argued that galaxy is closer to a table than a brain. But then again so is single synapse. Even though it's organic it's only a single part in a grand structure. So to be concious there needs to be information input, process and output. But if your perception would be shrunk to the level of electron. And you would realize the great vastness of space in an atom or between atoms.. How would you be able to conceptualize a synapse let alone a brain from the perspective of an electron. So for conciousness to exist there needs to be information that is processes by some algorithm or a program in a brain. It's interesting to watch single cell organisms swimming around. And even the simple process of recognizing what is harmful and what is not requires some basic level of conciousness for survival. Should I swim away or should I absorbe what's in front of me is a complicated decision for single cell or for humans. Abvious answer for us would be to move away. Yet humans ingest poison being aware it will kill them and then they die. And when we look at the single cell organism that absorbed something that killed them. And we might say. That single cell organism is not only stupid to do so but also not concious of its actions. So was the human that died from poison. Same goes for concious AI. That concept is already accepted even though one wasn't created yet. But we can conceptualize it's possiblity. Will it be real conciousness or pseudo conciousness. Because the second program spits out. I think there for I am. We'll have a debate on our hands. Where conciousness starts and where does it end? Does it has to derive from organic life form. Or non organic like a program in a computer. I figured I'll add my two cents.

The woman at the end is on the right track.. Subconscious is akin to a super-supercomputer. It knows all.

i would like to question the study about names, and people marrying others with the first same initial. i would want to know just how they conducted these tests, and from which their conclusions arrived ? at least with american names, J is by far the most common first letter of a name. so a couple both with J, tells me very little.

I also think subconscious mind is also fuelled by our diets.

I would like to tell a story in relation to this episode about a person that was suffering panic attacks. She later discovered/remembered that while she was in her mother's womb, her mother would pull her stomach in to hide the fact that she is pregnant from her own parents. It turned out that the panic attacks were resulting from that. The problem with psychology is that rather than looking at the human as a live being, it's trying to fit him/her in a paradigm structure derived from its current level of understanding of the subject. The human psyche is much much more complicated than the science currently understands, which it seems to admit on one hand, but on the other hand paradoxically it states that if something is not supported by the current scientific data, than it is not true. There is a big contradiction here, if one wills to pay attention to this fact sincerely.

it is not the 'unsolicited' thoughts that emerge from ur subconscious brain that dictate ur conduct... It is rather how ur conscious intentional attention deals with them.

KNOCK KNOCK [2'oclock in the morning]: Man: I'm your new neighbor, George. By the way, the red stuff on my hands is just ketchup. Elizabeth Loftus: Nice to meet you! Why don't you come inside for a cup of tea....

I cannot get over this plummy don talking with warm wonderment about the way a monkey whose visual cortex they purposely destroyed was able to recover elements of vision.

The subconscious affects us according to WHO has most influence upon it wether it is the god of this present era or the GOD of ALL Creation. What we are barely or not conscious of at all, is intimately and intensely conscious of us!

I have to admit there is not enough understanding in the relationship between our biological identity and our consciousness. I should think the answer begins with recognizing that we are a two system organism that simultaneously functions as one. There is the biological vehicle and the consciousness that has limited control over the physical vehicle of the human body. The two systems cannot exist without the other. Think of it like this, if sensory input from our biological side does not drive us to think to eat, then the biological side cannot be fed to continue the existence of consciousness that persists in the biological physical vehicle.

I think the consciousness is affected by matter. Stay in the bright side.

Isn’t it obvious that our grand conscience “self” is a tangent of our true self.

God dwells within our subconscious mind,mind is (NOT)brain

Mirroring lots of my ideas. The lady at the end breaks the understanding of space time as an inseparable 4D structure. This doesn’t invalidate her idea though. Just requires a reframing of some things.
