About The Subconscious

A key element of the system is the concept of what is commonly referred to as the “subconscious.” There are probably dozens of different explanations of what this term means, and none of them can be considered fully correct. The reality is that no one has ever directly observed the subconscious, measured it, or held it in their hands. What we can observe are its manifestations: automatic reactions, memories, emotional surges, behavioral patterns, irrational fears, habits, internal prohibitions, and so on. Everything else consists of models, hypotheses, and interpretations.

That, however, does not prevent those who hold such interpretations from treating their version as the only correct one and arguing endlessly in its defense. That is their concern.

The simplest and most transparent definition is this: “The subconscious is the set of non-conscious systems of the psyche.” Few would strongly disagree with that. But when it comes to how these systems actually function, opinions diverge — sometimes radically.

At one extreme, the subconscious is treated as something like a slow and limited child that must be told the same thing repeatedly before it “understands.” At the other extreme, it is described as a kind of semi-divine superintelligence. The truth is likely somewhere in between. In my view, however, almost no one fully understands the actual nature and mechanisms of subconscious processes. Most elaborate theories are simply approximations — attempts to describe how this system might operate.

From practical experience, the more I work with the subconscious, the less certain I am that it can be fully understood at all. At the same time, this does not prevent me from using it effectively. I no longer feel the need to understand something completely in order to use it. I do not need to know the physics of a refrigerator for it to function. It is enough to know which controls to use and what outcome to expect.

For this reason, I rely on a working model of the subconscious — one that allows me to solve practical tasks — without becoming overly concerned with whether the explanation is “perfect.” As the saying goes, the proof is in the results: practice shows whether a model works or not.

What follows is a description of the key elements of this model and the reasoning behind them.

In this model, the subconscious is neither mystical nor spiritual. It is a powerful internal mechanism that governs a large range of processes: reactions, attention, habits, emotional patterns, interpretation of events, automatic conclusions, and even bodily states.

In simple terms and as a metaphor, the subconscious can be compared to a personal “executor” that carries out your internal configurations. Like a genie — but without mysticism. The metaphor is only a way to illustrate the principle. The subconscious does not fulfill “wishes,” but rather executes internal programs, beliefs, and decisions in the form in which they are actually encoded within you.

You could even put it this way: we are extremely fortunate that this mechanism exists. Because it is capable of doing a great deal. And the main limitation is often not “reality,” not “fate,” and not a “hostile world,” but the extent to which we ourselves restrict this mechanism through our beliefs and internal prohibitions.

The subconscious is a highly powerful “biocomputer” available to every person. What it is capable of is often difficult to fully grasp. The disagreement is not about whether it exists, but about how to interact with it.

To begin with, there is a direction I would loosely call the “primitive” approach. Its followers treat the subconscious as something like a 3–5-year-old child: slow, limited, and hard of hearing. As a result, they attempt to “hammer” it with repetition, suggestions, and endless affirmations, hoping that at some point it will finally “understand.” Sometimes this produces results, but they are often inconsistent, and the speed is unsatisfactory.

Then there is the “mechanistic” approach: treating the subconscious as a rigid machine — a biocomputer that follows instructions exactly but lacks any flexibility or adaptive intelligence. From this perspective, even a minor error in wording is seen as potentially breaking the entire process.

To some extent, I agree with this second model: the subconscious does operate like a biocomputer. However, in my experience, its flexibility and capacity are far greater than both of these approaches assume.

Which approach is correct? Possibly any of them. The subconscious adapts very effectively to the model of reality held by the individual. If a person believes the subconscious is slow and limited, they will experience it that way and will have to rely on repetition over long periods. If a person believes that every detail must be perfect and that any mistake will “break the system,” they will operate in a framework where minor errors trigger anxiety and a sense of failure.

This is not mysticism. It is simply how the psyche works: expectations, beliefs, and interpretations influence how internal processes are initiated and unfold. In that sense, the subconscious becomes an ideal executor — it reinforces your model of reality, because you act in accordance with it and activate the corresponding patterns.

I do not claim that my model of the subconscious is more “true” than others. A detailed investigation of its underlying mechanisms is not my goal, nor is it necessary. The only question that matters here is whether the model produces results. In practice, it does. That is sufficient to consider it a workable framework.

So, in my model:

• The subconscious is a perfect executor of internal programs.
  It will confirm and reproduce your picture of the world: your beliefs about yourself, about other people, about possibilities, about money, about love, about happiness, about the “meaning of life,” and so on. If what’s recorded inside you is “I can’t,” “I’m not allowed,” “I don’t deserve,” “the world is dangerous” — the subconscious will faithfully implement that as an operating scenario. If the opposite is recorded — it will implement that just as faithfully.
  
  
• The subconscious acts as a filter of perception.
  You do not perceive “the world as it is,” but a world that has passed through your internal filters: beliefs, expectations, fears, experience, habitual judgments. What doesn’t pass through these filters is often simply not noticed. What does pass through is already perceived as colored and interpreted.
  
  
• The subconscious stores a vast amount of information about your experience.
  Most likely not a “24/7 8K video recording,” as some like to imagine, but definitely far more than is accessible to ordinary memory. It stores associations, connections, recurring patterns, emotional reactions, bodily markers. And this is why the causes of many states and problems are often known to the subconscious far better than to the conscious mind.
  
  
• The subconscious shapes your subjective reality.
  Not in a mystical sense, but in a psychological one: it forms your habitual interpretations, expectations, and behavioral scripts — and through that influences what you choose, what you allow into your life, and what recurring situations you create. One can have endless discussions about the “assemblage point,” the “Eagle’s emanations,” the “quantum soup of equal probabilities,” the “law of attraction,” and other elegant schematics. I’ll leave that to those who enjoy exploring the “unknown” and drawing yet another picture of the world in their heads. I need results.
  
  
• The subconscious is often smarter than the conscious mind.
  The conscious mind can be blind, rationalizing, lying to itself, and constantly rewriting explanations after the fact. The subconscious works deeper: it governs reactions, habits, automatic decisions, internal prohibitions and permissions. And — importantly — it is capable of performing internal transformations very quickly and efficiently. But within the boundaries that you yourself set for it.
  
  
• We can assign tasks to the subconscious.
  If we can more or less clearly define what we want to process, what exactly hooks us, and where it hurts — we can “hand the material over for processing.” No, it won’t run to the store for a bottle. But processing mental material in automatic mode — including during rest and sleep — is entirely within its capabilities.
  
  
• Its capacity is enormous.
  The subconscious really can do “multithreading”: handle many processes at once, distribute load, change processing speed, switch between layers of material. This is why systematic work produces results: we are using the natural capacities of the psyche instead of trying to drag everything into endless conscious analysis.
  
  
• Any personal transformation techniques ultimately work with the subconscious.
  All those external elements — tapping on points, little rituals, visualizations, affirmations — are essentially trigger buttons. But the real processing still happens at the subconscious level. And if that’s the case, why not make this principle explicit: stop playing ritual games and deliberately shift the work to the subconscious, using its resources as efficiently as possible.

The techniques presented in this book are based precisely on this model. And it works — as tens of thousands of practitioners have already confirmed in practice (as of January 2026).

Now think about what kind of possibilities this opens up in terms of development and actually solving your problems. That’s exactly what we’re going to be doing. And the result — if you actually do the work — may well surprise you.
