This is where my confusion begins. Becomingagodo, are you implying that we have 100% conscious awareness of every operative brain function, at all times? If you're not, I'm wondering if you're misinterpretting the concept of the word "subconscious." The subconscious mind (most popularly attributed to the mental processes we simply are not consciously aware of, the psychological ones being the most relative to this discussion) is evidenced in everyone, everyday. Where's the logic in arguing that much? As of yet, I don't see it.

No, I am saying that we do not have 100% concious awereness and 'power' over our brain, and that we call those areas 'subconcious'.

What don't you get? Or I get? There is a think that can be called subconcious. Like then I an attracked to a girl, yet not to a dude. I don't actually 'think' hey, a girl, I should find that hot. I think 'gawdDAMN that's some hot boobs right there'.

Or something.

There is a subconcious, but it might depend on definition, that is what I am saying.
