Time and the subconscious mind

[Manny6]

Most authors believe that the subconscious mind can only be instructed in the present time, because it’s the only time that it recognizes.
I’m not sure that this is true, because how can you explain that the subconscious is able to back in time and remember an event that occurred in the past in a specific date?
Also why are some people able to say I’m going to wake up at 6:00 AM for example, and they do wake up exactly at that time? If the subconscious mind didn’t know of time how can it do this?
In these examples the subconscious mind is working in the past and in the future. Am I missing something here?

well here's my .02, time is a concept and subconscious has no problem dealing with the concept of time. The problem lies in the ability to create or manifest instead of projecting fear. To do that then you do need to be in present moment awareness.

its not time.. the subconscious records everything that ever happened to you or in your presence, so it becomes memory b/c you can remember

all these things and more can happen in the subconshious mind because thoughts are relitive, Mozart used to wake up with whole symphonies playing in his head. now how could he wake up with a whole symphonie in his head after just one night of dreaming? easy, thoughts are relitvie if your having trouble undrestanding thats because you havent gotten the joke yet. thoughts are just electical inpulses in the brain we percive time when we are awake as a constent because that is how we react whith the world when we are awake. we think to move our arm and instently it moves because thats how fast it takes for the electrical inpulse of the brain to move to our arm, so it stands to reason that when we are asleep our toughts can move at a different speed to that wich is around us because they move closer to the speed of light therefore slowing down time in our minds compared to the waking world, wich is proved in the theroy of relitivity, thus why thoughts are relitive. this is why more can happen in the subconshiuos mind than can happen in the conshious mind because we perceve things differently and on a different time line. p.s. sorry for the spelling mistakes i had to write this in a hurry

No, you are perceiving correctly. The subconscious deals with time just fine. However, if you have a dominant belief that it doesn't, then you will find evidence to support the belief.

You already know everything there is to know about everything there is to know, at a very deep and fundamental level of your consciousness. If you want to call that level subconsciousness, or super-consciousness, be my guest.

Various predilections, distortions, and beliefs related to our egos are what prevent flawless omniscience from flowing through us, consciously. Our consciousness is one with everything in existence.

Sub conscious mind contains with it the past, present and the 'future' and is like a continuous straight line in to reaction to events that happen around you. The conscious mind is like broken lines with respect to reaction to events and happenings around. The Sub conscious mind will react in a different way to a event that is happening before you than a conscious mind. Your consciousness is more or less is restricted to days or a day. You will not be able to recollect events that passed by you a month or a year back but your subconsciousness is very much aware of it and it takes milliseconds for it to recollect and react with time. The opposite view to your subconscious mind is your future.

Sub conscious mind can only be contained by time - (why?)- and to understand it we have to only relate the past, present and at times precognition to the subconscious mind. It is the true self's reaction to time.

Hi, Manny. Welcome to our forum! You say that "the subconscious mind can only be instructed in the present time." Let's break that down. Here, I assume from reading the passive form of the sentence you use, you mean to say, "a person can only instruct his or her mind in the present time." If so, then that would make perfect sense. While time is a tricky subject, our point of power is the "now," as Eckhardt Tolle and many others have observed. We would perform the act of instructing our unconscious mind in the now moment.

You say you doubt the correctness of this view because the mind can reach back in "time" and serve up a memory. You further doubt this is correct because a person can instruct the unconscious mind to be an alarm clock in the future. But these examples do not contradict the premise that the somebody gave the unconscious mind the instruction to recall a past memory or to set a future alarm clock in the now.

Aside from this seemingly "normal" explanation of time, where all is accessed in the "now," there is a whole side argument on the nature of time that posits: time is an illusion, and the past, present, and future occur at the same time, separated by dimensions that we cannot wholly access with our conscious minds. That is a subject for another thread, indeed!
