The mind is an amazing yet quite complicated in its modus operandi (how it works) in the individual's life, creating the situations, events, and circumstances of his every day life and life pattern as a whole.
Science is still trying to unravel this magnificent tool, to understand the depth of it's powers and how it creates the events, circumstances and situations in people's lives.
The mind is a tool that is attached to every human body and it's main job is to help people view the world, understand the world, navigate the world and create a healthy and satisfying life conditions and situations for themselves, their loved ones and others.
As a tool of observation and navigation in this world, which is a world of the sense organs. It depends on these sense organs to help it understand and navigate the intricacies of life.
The sense organs send images and pictures through the eyes ( sense organs for sight), nose ( sense organs for smell), ears ( sense organ for hearing), mouth ( sense organ for taste) and hands (sense organ for touch).
These organs sends messages to the brain via electrical and magnetic impulses in the brain to the subconscious mind which is the main part of the mind that is responsible for how an individual's life shapes out and for the circumstances and conditions therein.
The messages sent to subconscious mind through images, pictures and memory are acted upon and corresponding symbols are sent to the brain for the necessary action to be undertaken by the body in respond to the stimulus sent by the sense organs.
For example, the sense organs sees danger in the immediate surrounding of the individual, like fire, earthquakes, flood water, armed robbery attack, assassination attempt and so many others which can immediately be seen as a threat to the life and wellbeing of that individual at that very moment.
The sense organs immediately goes into action by sending a message to the subconscious mind in the form of images, pictures to forewarn it of the immediate danger surrounding the individual at that very moment.
The subconscious mind immediately intercepts the message and interpretes the message according to the pictures or images sent. If the pictures sent are those of harm and danger to the individual, the subconscious mind creates a hyper situation calked "Fight or Flight" in response to the situation.
This creates the corresponding response in the body to either situation and the body sends the message to the part of the body where the danger is targeted via the nerve cells eliciting the right response to the situation.
In the case of a Fight situation, the adrenal glands are activated in response to the situation and secretes adrenalin via the endocrine glands which are activated by the subconscious mind to handle the situation presented.
In the case of Flight situation, the same thing happens and the stress hormones - adrenalin and cortisone are secreted to push the part of the body needed to execute and neutralize the threat presented.
In all situations and events, a message is sent by the sense organs perceiving life in the world as images and pictures to the subconscious mind to interprete and execute the right actions in response to the situation.
