What are the things that are impermissible to believe in the subconscious mind?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The term "subconscious mind" is an ambiguous and unscientific term in the context of human development. It refers to the "unconscious," which is a psychological term describing mental processes, thoughts, and feelings of which one is not aware. The scientific study of the unconscious began in the 19th century through hypnotism, and Freud highlighted its importance in human psychology and in understanding mental illnesses and the behavior of normal individuals. The subconscious mind (or the unconscious) is beyond human control and will; it is a collection of stored experiences and memories that automatically or semi-automatically influence behavior without awareness of the reason. Humans do not have the authority to control what the subconscious mind stores or to delete it. Therefore, the question about doctrinal prohibitions within it is imprecise, as the question should be about what a human possesses and has the ability to act upon.
