Book Excerpt:

Who’s The Boss?

Given the information presented so far, who do you

think is the boss—your conscious mind or your unconscious

mind? If you chose your conscious mind, you are

correct! Your conscious mind is always the boss. It’s the

part of your mind that is capable of processing and analyzing

data. It’s the part of your mind that has free will

to make decisions and is capable of accepting and rejecting

information. It’s the part of your mind that filters information

in order to come up with the Master Plan.

Your Reality Exists Only

In Your Mind

Do you remember when I said your conscious mind is

only capable of processing less than one percent, and

your unconscious mind is capable of processing one

hundred percent of the data that you encounter? What

does that really mean?

To put things into perspective, your unconscious

mind receives millions of bits of data every single second.

Millions of bits of data every single second! Stop

and take that in for a moment. Every single second of

your life, your unconscious mind is bombarded with millions

of bits of data, which is equivalent to all of the

words in seven volumes of average-sized books. That’s

a lot of information to process every single second.

Now imagine what it would be like for you if you

were to become aware of millions of bits of data every

single second of your life. How would you feel if you

were forced to process seven volumes of books every

single second? Your conscious mind is just not capable

of processing that much data. You would go into severe

sensory overload and would most likely explode or shut

down. Lucky for you, all of that is happening in the

background of your unconscious mind and is not within

your awareness.

Of the millions of bits of data, the conscious part of

your mind is only able to process 126 bits of data per

second. To demonstrate what this looks like, let’s look

back at the example of the millions of bits of data as being

equivalent to all the words within seven volumes of

books. Of the seven books that your unconscious mind

is processing, your conscious mind is only capable of

seeing one word. One word! That one word, whichever

one word that might be, is the only one that makes it into

your awareness and that is what becomes your reality.

I want you to stop and think about what that really

means. Imagine reading seven books and understanding

only one word, thus believing that one word is, in fact,

the only subject of those books. Is there something you

might be missing? The important takeaway here is to realize

that each of us is most likely focusing on a different

word that becomes our respective realities.

Your reality only exists in your mind and nowhere

else. You might have a similar experience to that

of another person, but when you break it down into

tiny details, you will find significant variations.

Go ahead and try this exercise out for fun. Close your

eyes and turn to a random page in this book and point to

a word. Now open your eyes and look at that word. Does

this one word represent everything this book is about? I

can guarantee the answer is no. This book is so much

more than the one word you’ve randomly picked, but

that demonstrates well how your conscious reality might

be misrepresented by the powerful filtering system of

your mind.
