The Unconscious Mind (Freud’s Iceberg Theory) & a way to detach rather than repress

unconscious mind

After a few weeks of practicing #COCH, my master Dr. Bhupendra C. messaged me to remove “the invisible controller (habits and conditioning)” – As per self-inquiry practice, I framed questions around it. The following night, I  had a nightmare of high severity (I used to have it frequently during childhood and having it periodically during adulthood). When I got up from that sudden outburst, I asked a question, Is this the fear, my body reacted with an impulse, and I repeated the question until my body stopped responding. As a practitioner and knowing this technique, I repeated the questions a few times a day almost for a week and experienced two more nightmares but of less intensity. Amazing! Isn’t it? Now I have been experiencing a better sleep quality without frightening outbursts.

Have you ever pondered upon questions – Why do I get nightmares? Or dreams? Sufferings? Many times, we end up saying whatever happening may be because of past karma or even karma of previous life. Why such thoughts? Keep reading for answers.

Freud (1900, 1905) developed a topographical model of the mind and used the analogy of an iceberg to describe the three levels of the mind. Refer to the below picture. In this article, I focus on the mysteries of the unconscious mind, the rest you can read from the referenced article.

In psychoanalysis, the unconscious mind stores repressed ideas and images, primitive desires and impulses that have never been allowed to enter the conscious mind.

The unconscious contains all sorts of significant and disturbing material that we need to keep out of awareness because they are too threatening to acknowledge fully.

Much of our behavior, according to Freud, is a product of factors outside our conscious awareness. People use a range of defense mechanisms (such as repression or denial) to avoid knowing their unconscious motives and feelings.

Freud believed that the influences of the unconscious reveal themselves in various ways, including dreams, and slip of the tongue, now popularly known as Freudian slips. Lie detectors or polygraph tests use body impulses to verify a lie (the body’s reaction to a stored memory from the unconscious mind)

Excellent reading! Now what? A question to ponder upon – Is there a way to detach, or erase such from unconscious memory rather than repress, deny, or credit to past karma? This theory Freud documented before 1924, but no solution yet to detach from the past. Now we have a tested technique available for free without technology or wearables. Just sit, receive the energy, frame the question, and experience the change.
