Can subconscious mind hear inner monologue?

[Zedman]

And how to reliably test that?

Recently I discovered that I have very poor understanding of my emotions and deepest desires. That part of me was always sabotaging my self development because I had neglected and disrespected it for the entire time. So now I want to flip things around, admit defeat and hand it the crown. I am doing this for a while now and I have disovered a whole new world to explore. But do I have to keep writing and reading it in the journal or is it enough to just keep contemplating using inner monologue?

I can imagine I at least need a different way to communicate because that part of the brain is overloaded with all kinds of stimuli every second and my speech is only 0.1% of all the information that gets processed in that moment so its not registering it.

Thank you!

@Zedman I'm not entirely sure what you mean and what your exact intention is, but I'm still gonna add my two cents.

If you're asking "do the thoughts I speak with my internal voice affect the programming of my subconscious mind?" the answer is "yes, to an extent, but how much they affect your subconscious programming depends on how you think your thoughts and what is already programmed into the subconscious mind".

It's like this: the more deeply something is programmed into your subconscious the more effort you have to put into it to program in something else to replace that old program.

If you had a deeply rooted longterm limiting belief like "I'm not good at anything" stored in your subconscious it might not be enough to just sporadically tell yourself (or write down) "I am good at many things" to reprogram your subconscious because the limiting belief is too strong and rigid.

In this case you'd probably have to challenge the belief in various ways and e.g. speak affirmations with a lot of energy or visualize the positive opposite of the negative belief. Or you might want to use modalities like hypnosis.

In some cases you might have to release some specific childhood trauma to release such a belief etc.

When the belief is old and strong whatever you do to overcome it must carry a lot of emotional energy/impact to unwire that limiting belief, because the limiting belief itself also has a strong emotional load.

I hope this helps.

Are you paying attention to your dreams? For me sometimes is super clear when something I was trying to hide from my awareness during the day, pop up in dreams during  the nigth. Like: I was thinking about a girl who I wanted to talk with and make a move to try something with her, but then unconsciouy dismissed the idea telling .y self some reason why she actually was not that much or other reason to not go talk with her, trying to hide from myself the truth that deep down( no pun intended) I really wanted something with her. 

So at nigth, in the middle of many dreams there was her, flirting with me and then when I made an advance she runned away. 

For me is enogth to know that I can fake I hide something from my mind but mind keep everything. And if you follow Leo videos for a long time and do some psycadelics or simply look around and realise who you are, where you are and when you are you must know that is all your mind. I dont want you to agrew with me. Just observe your dreams and you will see sprouting there stuff that you ignore here ( there/here whatsoever that means) .

@Zedman Definitely.

@Federico del pueblo I am very reluctant to address my subconscious as something to be reprogrammed. Seems a bit deregatory. Perhaps unhealthy but I would even acknowledge my subconscious as a whole new person. That person is even smarter than me. After me becoming painfully aware at the depth and complexity of self deception, distraction and masterful emotional control subconscious has I can conclude that it is more me that my conscious verbal thought "self". That part of me probably considers me a cancer and I can even understand that. Just a little context. I have been struggling with this for all my conscious life. Yes, I have never invested into serious work but how can I if I am constantly at war with myself? The harder I push and I had some extremely good runs the harder the fall is. That thing is not a computer to be reporogrammed. Maybe I am.

@Rafael Thundercat I consider myself to be lucky because all the dreams I heard from other people are plain boringness. My dreams are epic and otherworldly so much so that I cant answer if they are colorless like my dads. I simply cant tell if they are colorful or colorless. Its so insane. If I had myself sorted I would invest into exploring, memorising and writing them because they are really rich. So rich they served as proof for spiritual stuff back in the day. I could not believe a measly brain could GENERATE such expansive worlds, experiences and parallel plotlines in such short amount of time. My dream can seamlessly transform into 3 to 5 different stories per dream so I dont see how this is a communication bridge between conscious and subconscious.

@Eternal Unity Your prompt response gave me a short burst of relief. However I need to know. How do you know you subconsious can hear your conscious chatter? Since it posesses a character it may choose to not listen? Perhaps its so busy with survival it has no time listening? Afterall subconscious to conscious mind is like quantum computer to a tetris. Can we even devise a definitive test knowing that subconscious is a self deceiver and a masterful trickster?
