Every felt sure you did not do something because you cannot remember it or that you cannot picture yourself having done it? Well I have not but I feel we are taking for granted our own memory. We use our own memory to relate current events to past events. What if we have move than one conscious mind and every action that other part of you does your main side cannot remember it. Think about this how much of yesterday can you remember? Sure you can remember most of it and unless the other side of you is just doing the boring stuff there is no need to worry. But what if this could become to grow and gain more control.
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a story I am sure you are aware of. The story is of a doctor who takes a medicine that causes his bad side to take control over him. I have always been interested in the idea of taking something and experiencing another mind set. This I feel is not the same though and what I am talking about is taking something to completely change who you are. Your unconscious mind may be working in the back of your mind and learning stuff completely different to the way you are. A quote from a page on Wikipedia “Unconscious Mind” has “The conscious mind is hundreds of milliseconds behind the unconscious processes”. This does not mean that the unconscious mind has anything of control over the conscious mind but what I feel it does mean is that the unconscious mind can get away with stuff with out the conscious mind knowing. Let me give an example, the unconscious mind of a young male takes over and causes him pick up a pen. The next stage would be the mind analysing it and the conscious mind taking the blame.
But what if the unconscious mind could really take over? What if it could take over the memory of a person? Another example, a young male picks up a knife and stabs someone the unconscious mind then deletes the memory of that action. The male now unaware of what he has done would act completely different to a person who knew he had killed someone. The young male would even pass lie tests because he would believe he had not done it. This is a bit much but the point is clear. If the unconscious mind could take over the mind of the conscious mind there could be trouble.
One big argument would be that if the unconscious mind did take over there would be time gaps as well as not remembering where one person was. This cannot really be explained with out going a little more unbelievable, and saying that the unconscious mind could control the feelings of being unsure as well as removing memories. If the unconscious mind could invent memories it could be worse. Like having memories of committing crimes you did not do. It is clear this is a theory that is not easily believed but I feel given that it could be impossible to know it was happening to you shouldn’t that cause some thoughts about this?
