Here's a real honest "for example". My wife and I are very Italian and we both have a quick "Roman" temper. When one of us lights spark in other one, we can go from peaceful to a full-fledged screaming and ranting argument in under 1 minute. Twenty minutes later, it's all over and you'd never know it happened. Now, it's very likely that if either of us took a quiz that centered on disagreements and how they are handled, end results would be: RUN AWAY! But let me tell you this, after 20 years together, we're both still very much in love and everyone in our lives knows it!

My point here is that while a relationship quiz might be fun to take, don't call a lawyer, or a preacher, simply because you "passed" or "failed" it. Love is far too complicated to base your future on results of a relationship quiz.

Often conscious mind stops considering new idea at that point, and moves on to something new. But did subconscious mind really "know" that? Maybe sometimes, but often new idea is not even properly formed yet, so how could subconscious mind be sure that it "knew" that.

Unfortunately when conscious mind gets "I know that" message, it usually stops receiving or processing new idea, and that means opportunity to learn something new is lost.

Why would our subconscious mind act in a way that stops us from learning? To answer that, and to understand in detail how this process works, you will have to attend my "Power of Mind" training, or perhaps wait for another article in future, but I do have space to briefly discuss what we can do about it.

How can we interrupt our subconscious mind so that it does not stop us learning from new ideas, when we are exposed to them. I suggest that there are two easy ways.

Firstly, when we hear our subconscious mind saying "That doesn't fit", or "That can't be right", or something similar, we can simply say to our subconscious mind "Thank-you for that information". This means that we have decided not to act on message that our subconscious mind was sending. Our conscious mind is then free to continue considering, reasoning and thinking about new idea.

The second thing we can do is ask our conscious mind to think about new idea in a way it may have not done before. Usually our conscious mind thinks "Is this idea right?", or "Is this idea wrong?" Instead of those questions we could ask "Could this idea change or improve my life in some way?"

This allows us to look at a new idea in a completely fresh way, without being influenced by all things that we have learnt before, or that we already "know".

It was Will Rogers who said many years ago that "it's not what people don't know that hurts them. It's what they do know that just ain't so."
