Your promise of never thinking unfaithful thoughts is broken almost as soon as it leaves your mouth. You vow chastity, while your subconscious mind is attending a swinging singles party.
It’s one of the more fascinating dynamics of the human mind. A person gives you pretend reasons for their actions, and even believes those reasons, while the real motivations are hidden in the subconscious mind. It’s amazing that few things in a person’s overall behavior are controlled by conscious motives.
Here’s a challenge for those of you who are in a committed relationship: try never to think about sex with anyone but your spouse or significant other. You can’t do it, no matter how hard you try, due to the power of your subconscious mind. But don’t feel bad; it’s perfectly natural.
Pretending to be absolutely rational in decision-making is an amusing, universal human trait; the subconscious mind guides and even overpowers your thinking, even though you believe your conscious mind is logically determining your behavior.
Your unconscious, or subconscious mind, is the hidden part of your consciousness, and that is where the real power of your mind resides.
