This post is continued from the introduction given in part 1. The below explanation shows the various operating levels of your mind.

| Human Mind (Human mind by Osman) |
1. Conscious mind
The conscious mind can hold only a fraction of the recent temporary experiences. For example, if i ask you what did you eat yesterday for dinner. Then you can recollect the food that you had, because the recording of that experience is present in your conscious mind. If I ask you what you had four years back at a particular date 04.05.2016. Then you are unable to answer because it is being removed or erased from the conscious mind.
2. Subconscious mind
But, at the same time, if someone would have humiliated you four years back. Even to this date, you can vividly remember the exact date, time, place and the people present and you become angry like it had happened now. This is because the emotionally charged experience is stored in the subconscious mind.
You must understand that all the past recordings that had happened in the subconscious mind is giving you suffering and loss. When you are happy, it mixes with your life. But, when you are experiencing intensely hated things, then it doesn't mix with your life and get stored in the subconscious mind.
Let us consider imaginary situation, where you have been slapped by your manager in your office. So, whenever you think about the manager, you get anger brewing within yourself. Our intellect tells us to leave the issue as many years have been passed and you have changed positions and don't know where that manager is present. But your heart, still feels anger whenever you think about that manager and suffer from pain, shame and anguish. You feel overwhelmed by the emotions and become agitated.
Similar to above incidents, you have may have faced many unlikable incidents with your family members, friends and work colleagues which stores up many heaps of unwanted negative emotions inside your subconscious mind. So, whenever those surface, you feel overwhelmed with emotions and lose yourself.
Please do understand that the worry you have is due to the recorded stuff in your subconscious mind. Let us take a incident for which we are angry or sad and experience it for like 30mins. At this time of experiencing it, if you tell yourself, "dont be angry or sad". This doesn't solve the problem. Even after five days, the anger or sadness is not reduced but increased. Do notice this carefully.
Why had the anger or sadness has increased ? Even thought the situation that created it is not present. The feelings such as anger, tension and fear is increased day by day and it is not reducing as we think. This is because you cannot erase the recorded stuffs in the subconscious mind using your intellect. We will see why this is the case in more detail.
As you have seen before, the stored up stuffs in your subconscious mind is the reason for all your anger, tension and fear. So, you have to erase them or to let them out by expressing them openly. How to express them openly ? For example, if someone have cheated you. You can cheat him back or give him the required punishment. By this way, your mind is happy and the recorded stuff in the subconscious mind is erased. This experience is then for reference kept in the intellect for future use.
The memories in the intellect doesn't create any emotion. The memories in the subconscious mind is the culprit that makes us emotionally overwhelmed and act irrationally, thereby increasing our suffering.
3. Super-conscious mind
This level of mind has the potential to receive and understand all kinds of vibrations from the entire universe. The mind that knows the past, present and the future is the super-conscious mind.
When you are in the state of the super-conscious mind, everything is understood, no more explanations from others is needed. The people who accessed this states are those who tell prophecies, have powers to speak with the ghosts and higher dimensional beings and the self-realized saints. Every human being has the potential to access this super-conscious state and experience and understand the entire cosmic dream. But, the sub-conscious mind has to be cleared of all the past emotionally charged stuffs that is deeply recorded in it. Only then you can access the super-conscious mind.
