THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND: YOUR HIDDEN GENIUS?

"BLUE" JIMMY:  MIND EXPLORER

BLIND DOG OZZY:  NEUROTIC CHIHUAHUA

"BLUE" JIMMY:  The subconscious mind has been the subject of literally thousands of articles, books, seminars, self-improvement programs and occult belief systems for more than a century.  The term subconscious mind was first used by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in the late 1800's to describe thinking that takes place outside conscious awareness.  At the time, he probably did not envision the near superhuman powers that are attributed to the subconscious mind.  The subconscious mind is said to be like a sponge that absorbs everything you see, hear, smell, taste and feel without prejudice and stores it permanently.  Imagine you could access every book you've ever read, every speech you've ever heard, every seminar you've ever attended, every movie you have seen, every concert, dance performance, poetry reading, sensual experience, word for word, image for image in precise detail.

BLIND DOG OZZY:  I'd be f**king badass!!!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Now we are presented with the dichotomy that has split many a scholarly friendship.  Hard physical scientists do not recognize the power of the subconscious mind and maintain that what we have in our heads when we wake up in the morning is all there is.  Either you were born with extraordinary intelligence or you labored long and hard in school and acquired large amounts of book learning and there is nothing more to access.

BLIND DOG OZZY:  How incredibly ordinary!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Since scientists have nothing to add to this argument besides the old chestnut that "there is no scientific proof," BDO and I will explore the possibility that the subconscious mind might have powers that are "outside conscious awareness" as Freud alluded to in his writings.

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Let's get ready to rumble!!!


"BLUE" JIMMY:  According to occult theory, the subconscious mind is a storehouse of incredible accumulated wisdom over one's lifetime or lifetimes.  The problem for most people is that there is no direct link between your subconscious mind and your ordinary waking mind as described by practitioners of the occult.  Your subconscious mind is thought to be very childlike.  It responds to bright colors, music, pleasing sounds, rhythmic movement, sweet aromas, interesting tastes and fascinating textures.  When you stimulate your subconscious mind and appeal to one of its senses, it may reveal to you things that were heretofore, inaccessible.  Thus, every world religion since earliest times, has used music, chanting, dance, incense, candles, stained-glass, mandalas, statues, deep breathing, postures, hand gestures, wine, weed, mushrooms and all sorts of  psychotropic plants to access the divine within us (subconscious mind).


BLIND DOG OZZY:  Or not.

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Yes, keep in mind that the scientific community adheres to the fact that there is no such thing as this Supermind.  Yet for years, I have followed the careers of mentalists such as Kreskin, Marc Salem, Derren Brown and others who claim absolutely no supernatural powers or psychic ability whatsoever.  But they perform incredible mental feats such as memorization of  huge amounts of information, hypnosis, kinesics (the ability to read people's body language), suggestion, neuro-linguistic programming, stage clairvoyance and prediction (not real but convincing to many) ideomotor phenomenons ( such as using a pendulum or dowsing rod to find hidden objects ) and various methods of mind control both on themselves and others.
 What are these people tapping into to perform seemingly miraculous maneuvers?  You can be certain that people all throughout history have used these tricks to convince the faithful that they were indeed, in touch with forces not of this world. Tarot cards, the I Ching,  the Ouija board, ESP and other methods of divination are thought by experts to make use of the subconscious mind.  If not a powerful subconscious mind then ... angels?  Demons?  Communication with the dead?  Sinister Forces?  God?

BLIND DOG OZZY:  If you dismiss the power of the subconscious mind, then you open up a whole 'nother can of paranormal worms! 

"BLUE" JIMMY:  We will continue to explore the powers of the  subconscious mind as an inherent power of your normal human brain and perhaps the concept of the mind being a separate entity outside of your brain (cranial cavity).  The idea of your mind being in touch with supernatural forces or entities is a subject for future writings and will not be excluded as long as we have exhausted all rational scientific possibilities.  People with extraordinary mind powers have made fools of religious zealots and New Age fairy-worshipers for centuries.  If you feel you have a true story of  paranormal ability that defies explanation, contact us ...

BLIND DOG OZZY:  ... We believe all things are possible!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Sake's Alive!


BLIND DOG OZZY:  Wow!  Wow!
