Solve All Your Problems, Using Your Sub-Conscious Mind

You are repeatedly trying to solve a mathematical problem, again and again. You fail every time. You leave it and go for other work. Suddenly while working an idea popped into your mind and you try to solve the same problem back using the new idea. And hurray! It is solved.

What would you call this? Many call this the sixth sense or intuition. But I want to present another way to look upon this.

When you repeatedly try to solve the problem, it creates some impressions on your mind and reaches up to your subconscious. Even when you leave the problem, your sub-conscious mind keeps on thinking for ways to solve the problem. And it suddenly comes up with a possible solution that you haven’t given a try.

Now, if it is your own mind then why couldn’t you solve it when you where trying again and again to solve that problem. It is because, of your ego. Yes, this is also a subtle manifestation of ego itself. When your conscious mind i.e., you, keep on trying to solve the problem your sub-conscious do helps you but do not interrupts. You just frame an idea of the way to solve the problem and keep striving to solve it that way. You unknowingly cut off many possibilities.

Your sub-conscious mind is devoid of the manifestations of ego. Ego manifests itself only on the upper surface i.e., your conscious mind. The sub-conscious mind performs tasks by taking them as duties and your conscious mind; egoistically you, do not have to worry about them. Some of such activities are breathing, balancing body weight while walking or standing etc.

So, to take complete advantage of our mental abilities, one thing that we can do is to put off our ego and allow our sub-conscious mind to interact freely with our conscious mind. Our sub-conscious mind is very shy and only comes up when we remain still, such as deep sleep in the form of dreams. Meditation helps us to stabilize our conscious mind providing our sub-conscious mind suitable conditions to interact.

This, if brought into practice can help you solve many of your problems, not only mathematical but also problems related to any aspect of your life. I hope, I was able to present my views properly before you. Please do post your views on this article. I will be delighted to know what you think and how you think.

Thanks a lot.
