Each person has two minds, the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious mind belongs to you, but your subconscious belongs to those who programmed you as a child. The subconscious mind doesn't know right from wrong and is an open tape recording that plays back what has been programmed into it. This playback is the most important influence in the success or failure of a person's life. Though a person is not consciously aware, these tapes are constantly on, controlling the directions and limitations of life. The secret to overcoming external conditioning and programming by others is to change these tapes.
Furthermore, the conscious mind can only remember for 20 seconds, process about 3,000 bits per second and can only handle one or two tasks at a time. On the other hand, the subconscious can remember many things indefinitely, can process over 38 billion bits per second and is multi-task orientated.
