The Iceberg Comparison

An iceberg is a great analogy that describes the connection between
the conscious and the subconscious mind– with a small, visible part
above the surface and a huge part below. The conscious mind is
responsible for our awareness in the waking state. Thinking analytically,
creating logical order, wondering about cause and effect
and asking “why” are all characteristics of the conscious mind. The
conscious mind is the place of cognitive learning and understanding
and uses the intellect to come up with logical solutions for problems.
It makes choices based on facts and moves the body deliberately.
