[QUOTE="eleos1954, post: 77650686, member: 404063"] My point was in regard to ... "we will make the same decision every time". Even though we do store memories in our subconscious mind and many of them become automated they can be changed (free will) ... we will make the same decisions ... unless we change it. Habits are unconscious decisions—that is, [B]they're decisions you make without actually thinking about them[/B]. The only way to change these unconscious decisions is to address them at their source: your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind will obey the conscious mind. We have the free will to change our sub-conscience or conscience minds. Our minds (thoughts) belong to each of us and are unique unto ourselves ... we have the ability to change them and it IS me doing this or that (consciously or unconsciously) ... it's a matter of how/where the information is stored and retrieved and updated ... whether or not the thoughts have been placed on "auto pilot" or not in regard to making decisions. We own all our thoughts and have the ability to change them ... or not .... (freewill) Not so ... personal example ... Years ago I had a bad habit of cussing ... it was a habit (automatic subconscience)... I didn't give any thought to the words I used. Then at one point I made a conscience decision that I didn't want to cuss ... over a period of time I was conscience of it ... now it's on auto pilot ... stored in my unconscious and now I don't have to think about it. My new auto pilot is I don't do it... don't have to think about it. It was a free will decision that was moved to auto pilot. Our unconscious mind will obey our conscience mind ... it might take some time to rewire/reprogram it ... but can most certainly be done. Can you image what kind of brain overload we would have without the storage capacity of our unconscious mind? [/QUOTE]
