Conscious Mindset

Can the subconscious mind be conditioned with a mindset to be conscious?

By the term “mindset” I’m basically referring to a mind reaction which has been set to be more likely to be used (in circumstances related to any given factors). I further explained mindsets, and the relevance of being aware of mindsets in a post from 3+ yrs ago; Minding Mindsets. In that post, I mentioned the potential of a mindset of being more conscious, but didn’t go into much detail on the plausible function of the concept. In a post from 1 month ago; Subconsciously Conscious, I determined that it seems plausible that the subconscious could be conditioned to be more likely to become conscious of certain factors, based on an ease of neural access to commonly used neural pathways. If the commonly used pathways lead to a neural combination which allows consciousness of any given factor, this could allow increased probability of accessing that same combo while in a subconscious state. I further explored the potential of this function, in the plausibility of the subconscious using the same neural pathways as the conscious mind, in my last post; Neuronic Territory. But this method would only cause an individual to be conscious of factors which they have been conscious of previously (and likely repeatedly). Now, I am wondering if a mindset can be created to cause a higher probability of the subconscious mind leading to conscious neural activity of new factors. 

In order for a mindset to be created which could influence the mind to more commonly use conscious thought when regarding new factors (with no previous conscious neural combo’s routed for the new factor), the main factor which would have to be accessed regularly and connected to generally almost any mind function, would have to be the concept of consciousness itself. What I mean by “the concept of consciousness”, is basically being aware of any given factor and its interaction with its environment or other factors. I explained in more detail (and the function of which), in a post from almost 2 yrs ago; Conscious Comprehension. The factor of this concept seems that it would need to be saved as a generalized mindset. It seems it would have to be a well routed neural pathway to this concept, in order for it to be applied to new circumstances and factors, for which it could be applied. 

If the concept of consciousness was well routed for ease of neural activity, then it should be more likely to be accessed in any general circumstances. If positive reinforcement is connected with the concept, after repeated use of the concept, and positive results, this should increase the likeliness of implementing the concept, after it has been accessed. If this mindset is in place, it should cause an increase in probability of the individual applying the concept of consciousness in any general circumstances. This should be applicable in situations of using both types of mind function; subconscious or consciousness, so that it will be used, whether someone is already consciously considering something, or subconsciously reacting.

It seems counterintuitive and contradictory, that a mindset can cause the subconscious to be conscious, but as I explained in “Subconsciously Conscious”, the subconscious can be the initial state of mind, and the mindset can lead to further conscious thought (whether that’s only temporary, or not). 

Once a mindset is created, it can be implemented and applied in a 2nd way as well. Typical mindsets have the potential to be used entirely in a subconscious state, even if the initial mindset was created, involving a factor which required conscious comprehension. The conscious concept is simplified when used in a subconscious state, without memory access to the details of the interaction between factors. But with this mindset in particular, of causing conscious comprehension, it would require the individual to be triggered to become conscious (at least temporarily). 

If it is utilized often enough, with positive reinforcement (typical requirement for mindsets causing a continued action), it seems the mind can be programmed to commonly access this concept. This would be a seemingly huge benefit, of accuracy of decision making and general intelligence, by implementing conscious analysis and comprehension in common circumstances. When it comes to conditioning the subconscious, perhaps the ultimate in usefulness, is a Conscious Mindset.
