Subconscious
One day I was flipping channels and I stopped when The Byrds Forrest Gump OST (Turn! Turn! Turn!) was on one VH1, I don't normally watch TV. This song made me feel like watching the movie again, and after the song finished and I moved on to my X360. The next day I was in a mall nearby and suddenly, I got reminded of Forrest Gump............10 seconds later the Byrds song starts on the mall's radio. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE DEFINITELY.
Got me thinking. I downloaded the song and heard it again....turns out the song starts with a very low volume and takes 10-15 seconds to get to full volume. This is weird, how could I hear the song in a crowded busy mall, and how did I get reminded of Forrest Gump instead of the song itself?
Easy Explanation if you ask me, we have a seperate part of the mind which is the Subconscious which acts as a filter and collects all your input, and searches your mind to find if any related matches are important, and then brings it to your importance if something is found in the recent memory. i.e. The previous day, my need to watch the movie was reminded of by a match to this song. quite a lot of work for a little part of your brain. it's a bit like the word suggestions on google. A lot of people might have concurred this already, but no-one told me.
Most of your sudden thoughts during the day may be coming from a deep need to do/feel something, and will usually get reminded by your subconscious by related patterns in the nearby environment, it can be any of your senses! most of your thinking is done by the mind outside your awareness, only the conclusions are brought to your attention.
Don't understand yet, speak to me!
