Dr Alain Salas discusses the percentages of conscious and subconscious mind, defining the mind, and introducing the concept of mind clearing.

[22:12-22:18]

Salas discusses how the subconscious mind accounts for 90-95% of our mind yet is often overlooked.

And the subconscious mind, therefore is 90 to 95% our mind and yet it's totally ignored.

[20:46-20:58]

Salas initiates the discussion by questioning the definition of the mind and its connection to the body, acknowledging its elusive nature.

Yeah, well, you know, first of all, uh, we all know that we've got a mind and a body, right? And so but what is the mind really? I mean, lots of people, you know, they just cannot even define what it is, the mind.

[20:59-21:18]

Salas explains the coexistence of the outer world, perceived through senses and self-identity, and the inner world.

And so you have to understand that you, we live in 2 separate world in the same time. So we've got the outer world, right, what we perceive with our senses, right? So, uh, what we call our self-identity or our conscious mind, right? And so, um, this is like what we're aware of in the world, right?

[21:18-21:59]

Salas outlines awareness of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and actions, then introduces the subconscious mind as a mysterious entity recording life experiences and controlling automatic functions.

So what are we aware? We're aware of what we're thinking, what we're feeling, our behavior and action. And after you've got, Matt, a totally separate world that is very mysterious and secretive, and it's called the subconscious mind, and you have no clue what the heck is going on down there. And so basically, that subconscious mind record everything you have been doing in your life from age 0 to now. All your skill as a podcaster, as a human being, all the skill you required are stored in your subconscious mind. All the automatic, uh, things happening in your body that you, you're not you don't have to think about it, like your breathing, your heartbeat, and your digestion are store- are coming from the subconscious mind.

[21:59-22:18]

Salas contrasts the conscious mind, which is only 5-10% of our mind, with the subconscious mind, which is 90-95% of our mind.

So the mind is, uh, is not what we think it is because when you look, uh, when you google about things, right? And so when you look at the conscious mind, it's only 5 or 10% of our mind. And the subconscious mind, therefore is 90 to 95% our mind and yet it's totally ignored.

[22:18-22:26]

Salas defines mind clearing as integrating the subconscious mind for true creation, and focuses on the subconscious mind's literal interpretation.

So what is mind clearing? It's about being able to bring the subconscious mind to the party, like that you can truly create, you know, what you want in life.
