My god the possibilities and the things you could learn about yourself.

I myself would love to hear what peoples opinions of what the unconscious mind is are. It is a very unexplored area.

but in regard to the quote above. I think that you're blurring the line between the conscious and unconscious mind. Before information can be remembered it must pass the conscious mind. Even in the case of what many would like learn about themselves just because the unconscious mind knows something doesn't mean the conscious mind does. In order for us to then know it our conscious mind must examine it. So even if you read something and your unconscious could recall it, you'd still have to have your conscious mind examine it. If you ask me might as well just read it the first time and get it over with.
But that's just my opinion.

OH also, ur assuming that the mind remembers everything that it see's. this is not the case. Filtering is taking place at every second of your day. As you type it's unlikely that you're also paying attention to what's going on in the distance. So, will this be remembered?
and even besides filtering our brain kills off brain cells as we age, so some memories just get destroyed.
