    A video Dr. Brad Fanestil posted yesterday. At around 3 min:

    "The conscious mind process about 40 bits of information per second. The subconscious mind process 11 million."

    EDIT----
    Forgot to post the video :cool:

    Dr. Brad Fanestil is very good! So reassuring, no bull, straight forward.

    The conscious mind handles less information because it works slowly and deliberately.
    It’s designed for deep thinking, decision-making, and reasoning — things that require focus and analysis.

    The subconscious mind, on the other hand, is like a high-speed automatic system. It runs patterns, habits, emotions, and body functions without analysis — so it can process huge amounts of sensory data very quickly.

    Because deep thinking takes more time and energy, the conscious mind can only process a tiny fraction of what the subconscious handles automatically.

    Looking back over my life my subconscious mind has caused my conscious mind nothing but suffering.
