Mental Filters and Normalcy Bias

Subconscious Processing

As seen in the video, human beings are subjective beings. Due to limitations in our ability to process all the available sensory data (see, hear, feel data), we all have our own map of reality. We see the world according to what’s important to us. We see things through our unique mental filters including:

  • Our Spirituality
  • Our Identity
  • Our Values and Beliefs
  • Our Memories and Experiences
  • Our Programs
  • Our Survival Needs

Out of seven billion people in the world – no two of us has exactly the same filters. For example, we may share a value such as spirituality…but your cognitive map of what spirituality means is not likely to match mine completely. In fact, there may be major differences even though we both value the concept and practice of spirituality. So there are seven billion unique maps of reality out there. This is important to understand whether we are trying to motivate ourselves or someone else. Take a look at the video above to learn how our subconscious mind sorts, selects, and processes all that data.
