  • Jct: How neat. Am I ever glad I subscribed to this site.

  • Yeah, how true is this, your subconscious is 90% of your mind, its the engine room. I have been aware of this for a while. Some of us have more harmony between our 2 minds than others, and if you observe animals, they have a wonderful harmony with their subconscious. This is why animals ‘sense’ things so well.We are all capable of this however, if we just didnt think it so weird.

  • They missed part, Is the mind knowing what the question is before it is asked? They did not show how long it took to respone to the question, I would yhink it was alot less than 6 seconds, that being the case you either know before the questioned is asked what the question will be or your mind is doing something else from the last question, They need to rethink what they are looking at, thier test shows only that your mind is doing something, but without figuring in these other factors there is no way to know what the mind is reacting to. Like taking a hearing test in a sound proof booth, there is not 6 sec inbetween the sounds.
