The subliminal — a new dimension of personality
By Dr. Soumitra Basu — Jul 15, 2009
Besides the ‘unconscious’ of psychoanalysis, Sri Aurobindo describes two planes of consciousness — the superconscient and the subliminal. The subliminal self is the inner being that stands behind the surface personality and is the meeting ground of the universal and the individual. The subliminal itself is supported by the soul-principle. Though the surface being of the average individual is largely influenced by the subconscient, it is also influenced to a significant extent by the subliminal.
