The Conscience and the Sub-Conscience, and What
they Are to Us

I am not a psychologist, so I will not get into a detailed
explanation of our two known and apparently different
levels of inner-awareness, but I see no reason not to discuss
what can be readily apparent to all of us if we just take the
time to look closely. My mother used to sometimes say, in
her compassionate and simple wisdom when she saw
someone doing something wrong: "Oh, he has no idea he is
even doing that." What she was sensing I think is that we
all have at the ability to do and say things based on
suggestions solely from the sub-conscious, without
consciously realizing it, and it is often not a good thing.

This seems to happen when for whatever reasons we have
an issue that we are not thinking about conscientiously, and
under times of stress or excitement the urges "bubble up"
from the sub-conscience, affect your cognizant self and you
are suddenly doing or saying something that your conscious
self was not necessarily planning on. I know this is true
because I have seen others do it many times, and I have
done it myself.

What can cause it? Most likely a big reason is mentally
suppressing an issue, fact, or occurrence that you simply do
not want to think about. You do not want to think of it
because that will cause pain and we all naturally try to
avoid pain. The issue is a completely real thing of course
but you are not actively acknowledging it so it festers like a
wound, becomes infected and the next thing you know it is
literally exploding into your life, often doing real damage
as it manifests.
