Also to include;
Perhaps it works in the contrasting sense also.
I knew a guy at one stage. A kick boxer.
He was probably and is probably one of the greatest talents around in terms of skill level - just incredible to watch.
But in terms of developing the skill consciously, I strongly believe this was not the case with him.
He seemed to operate almost entirely out of instinct.
When asked to show someone how to preform a technique - the intricacies, the finer points, seemed to be lost on him.
Curiously, to speak to the individual himself, that conscious awareness seemed to be lesser than average. This conveyed itself in terms of speech clarity, expression, so on. (I hope this doesn't come across as a condescending or improper description - but it's simply a description of the case as it was)
So what we can deduce from this is that his ability to attain a "feel" for something or gain a subconscious understanding of something through performance and repetition was higher than average - while his conscious ability to take on and process information was perhaps lower than average.
So this is in contrast to the person described above where the subconscious ability or ability to develop a "feel" for something was lacking but the conscious ability to process information and develop that conscious understanding was quite keen.
Just speculating; I guess that most people would fall in the middle. The two cases described above may be somewhat closer to the ends of the spectrum - opposing ends in these two cases.
For most people I would think there seems to be a good ability to consciously comprehend and a good ability to subconsciously develop a feel for something - or perhaps they vary - if we were to look at a meter chart for example perhaps some people would fall at 4 for conscious awareness, 6 for unconscious - in another case 5 for each - so on.
The two cases above being relatively extreme in terms of abilities in each area i.e. 1 for conscious 9 for subconscious - vice-versa
Perhaps we all develop to the same degree but using what we have to our advantage and making the most of what were not so strong in.
i.e. if we are roughly the same in terms of ability to consciously comprehend and develop the understanding and also develop that gut feeling for something, we use both in conjunction to attain an understanding of that which we wish to learn.
In terms of reprogramming an already-in-place subconscious program, in terms of, and I quote "seeing what we already believe" the degree of difficulty or ease of doing this for each of these cases.. ?
Maybe relative to the above paragraph - we just use what were strong at??
But is it necessary to consciously comprehend in order to reprogram??
