Anna is a subconscious mind communications and re-coding specialist and the CEO of Quantum Mind Academy. She is also the author of an international bestseller: Escape Your Matrix: How to Master the Game of Life. Anna states that in five steps, she teaches people how the subconscious mind works and why you need to understand and recode it.

I often talk about philosophy on this show, but my first love in trying to understand human nature was actually psychology. I am a firm believer that the subconscious is a fascinating, complicated, and potentially dangerous part of our minds. So I was really excited to talk to Anna and dive into what the subconscious actually is, how it has evolved over the years, and what it means to "recode" it. Anna explained how understanding and working to recode the mind is critical to achieve her most important value, "freedom of the mind." Without that we are somewhat blindly enslaved by "programming" that was set in our adolescence.

Of course I had to get into some of the more philosophical aspects of the subconscious mind too and we had some really interesting discussions around it. Some of this included topics like, is the subconscious trying to protect us or sabotage us and is it a gift or a curse that we have developed a conscious mind that can reflect on the pros/cons of the subconscious? Maybe the most interesting insight from the episode was when Anna explained that our minds are not "us", they are just like our hands or our eyes--they are just tools we use to interact with the world. 

We so often associate ourselves with our thoughts or at the least assume our minds are the most significant part of who we are. To think that it is no more significant than our hand is a really fascinating thought. It does beg the question though, if not our minds, then who is the true "us?" We will save that philosophical discussion for another episode though.
