Functional structure of the mind

Unknown to our conscious mind, we are more often than not, acting or thinking because of deep-rooted impressions in our subconscious mind. Only by overcoming negative impressions can we live better lives. The following five centres store memories of different types in the subconscious mind.

1. Identification and interpretation centre: This centre identifies and interprets the nature of an impulse.
2. Give-and-take account centre: This centre maintains accounts of all types of give-and-take with others and also tries to settle the score. For example, if Mr. X beats a person, the give-and-take account centre of the person remembers it and tries to make the person beat Mr. X whenever he gets an opportunity or tries to create an opportunity to do it or give proportionate sorrow/unhappiness to Mr. X.
3. Instinct and desire centre: It is a storehouse of all the desires and instincts.
4. Like and dislike centre: This centre sends impulses of likes and dislikes to the conscious mind.
5. Temperamental characteristics centre: It is a collection of the characteristics which comprise the temperament of an individual.
