Does the subconscious mind create reality?
Position1 of 2

Yes, the subconscious mind creates reality

This position holds that the subconscious mind shapes reality, our beliefs and thoughts continuously moulding our experience. It argues that thoughts cause real neurochemical change — as the placebo effect shows — and that the beliefs we hold shape who we become and the lives we lead.

  1. Scientific studies have shown how thoughts can impact one’s physical state
    The beliefs that we hold and the emotions that we experience have been shown to affect and shape our physical state and consequently, our reality.
  2. Thoughts have the power to change reality
    Our thoughts have the power to affect our behaviour. The physical acts, for the most part, make up our lives. If we alter the first thing in the chain, that is our thoughts, then life and reality as we know it is sure to change too.
