The subconscious mind is the totalitarian gov’t of how you think, feel and (consq.) behave…
ConclusionSelf-deception is both an unconscious
phenomenon AND a societal norm…Overcoming it, therefore requires:
◦1) knowing you’re in contrast with society and building the self-esteem to handle that, and
◦2) understanding the subconscious mind and gaining self-directing power over the that
aspect of thinking.
This entails radical honesty, learning psychology and mastering the deep levels of thought.
