5.2 |The Subconscious is an "Experiential Structure

The Subconscious is an "Experiential Structure," Not a "Linguistic Structure"

Analyzing through the lens of psychology, the subconscious is essentially a set of "Experiential Structures" written during the early stages of life—childhood and the self-formation period—rather than a "Linguistic Structure."

It is not the "innate destiny program" described by various metaphysical schools, nor is it a mysterious energy operating independently of human society. Of course, from the perspective of traditional metaphysics, some systems do view the era, family, environment, and interpersonal structures of one’s birth as "predestined factors." In this sense, the experiential inputs you were exposed to in your early years seem almost preset.

However, one thing is now clear: A significant portion of so-called destiny is socially shaped, written by others, and absorbed as an experiential structure during our most defenseless states. It is not an ethereal mystery; it is a comprehensible, traceable psychological structure inputted collectively by environment and relationships.

Summary

In this chapter, I have used the language of psychology to re-explain "What is Destiny." I am not a psychologist, so I have neither the intention nor the capacity to create a brand-new psychological theory. What I have done is incorporate validated research from psychology into this framework to illustrate a point:

Destiny is the subconscious; the subconscious is the experiential structure written in early life.

I have extracted the concept of "Destiny" from theological or metaphysical contexts and placed it back into a logical framework that everyone can understand, consistent with developmental psychology. Only when we truly understand "why everyone has a completely different destiny program"—that is, how early experiences are written into the subconscious—can we discuss:

• Can destiny be changed?
• How does destiny run automatically?
• Can destiny be rewritten in adulthood?
• How do parents shape the subconscious during a child's window periods?
• Can we input a new experiential structure at any stage of the life cycle?

These are the questions the next chapter will answer. Therefore, the critical question moving forward is:

Can the subconscious—this destiny program written in early life—be modified after the self has been formed?

In other words, can a human being "change their fate"?

In the next chapter, we will answer this question specifically.
