H-m-m-m-m... I say... stroking my non-existent beard... I've been watching a TV series titled: "The Brain with David Eagleman" on our local Public Broadcasting System (PBS) station ( U.S.A.) One of the points Eagleman has been making is that the "subconscious mind", in other words portions of the brain to which we do not have conscious access, exerts much more control over who we are & what we do than we would typically imagine. So, yes, I would say that there may be things stored in areas of your brain to which you have no conscious access that are at odds with what you have stored in your conscious mind... those areas of the brain which are available to you. Also, over time, we tend to wear "pathways" into our brains that electro-chemical signals typically run along. They're like ruts in an unpaved road. After a while, they can become so deep that it's difficult to steer out of them... Please pay the receptionist on your way out...
