As we get born, we start to develop a whole new consciousness, that will comprise everything we perceive with our five senses and learn during our trip in life. Our life is a long row of  experiences that is meant to allow us to learn some lessons. The entire life is structured almost as, at a microscale, the human educational system is conceived.If we make a parallel between the human being and the computer, we will see that we have a memory equivalent to the HDD, a short time memory as our RAM, etc.  We get in the world with our BIOS which comprises aproximately 2000 small programs that start and function automatically, such as: the heartbeating program, the breathing program, the eyeblinking program etc. Basically, these are the program that function in our subconsciousness (in psychology, unconsciousness) and that might not be subjected to the control of the consciousness. All these programs work in the background keeping the human computer working.The consciousness stars developing from our born and is specific only to these world. It comprises basically conditionings to everything. These conditionings are actually programs that are developed consciously, first by the parents, for the famous seven years of home education, than the school and the society intervene along with the parents creating programs over programs for the complex human computer. What are these programs? These are conditionings which are meant to create a response at a certain stimulus. This is realized through REPEATING a certain action until the learner will give the desired response. The parents will repeat us over and over again to eat nicely, to not pick our nose, to talk respectfully to the elders and so on. Of course, the conditioning will be formed if the learner really pay attention to what it is said or shown to him.We, the real us, are the spirit, and to deal with the reality of this planet, we have at our disposal two servants: the CONSCIOUSNESS and the SUBCONSCIOUSNESS.Imagine that the subconsciousness lives in a huge hall, having in front of him a huge table with a map on it. That''''s our mind map. His only task is to use the energy you produce to materialize daily your mind map. He is the guy who is making your reality!!!Your other servant, the consciousness is the guy who stays in front of the hall door, not allowing to anything to get into the hall unless it is analized more or less thoroughly and rejected or accepted as useful for me.In the conscient state, we identify ourselves with our consciousness. Every time we repet one or more movements, feelings, ways of thinking, etc. we create a program. Remember when we learned to drive. It was so exhausting to pay attention to so many things to do almost at the same time: look in the mirror, the handbrake, the clutch, the acceleration, the roadsignals, etc. But, as you repeated all these, the consciousness, because of the constant pressure and because it is getting bored too quick, it figures out that you insist with this complex of operations because you will need it in the future. So that, he gives this complex to his friend, the subconsciousness, to transform it into a conditioning, a program that will start automatically when you get into a car, on the drivers seat. In order to maintain this program active, of course, you have to use it. The same law is applied to the feelings etc.In conclusion, Pavlov made one of the most important discoveries of all time: we are subjected to conditioning through repetition.
