It is commonly accepted that a human mind has two parts -- the conscious mind and the unconscious mind. Scientists show that we use both of them but that one is generally more dominant and powerful than the other. The more dominant mind rules our behavior and our relationship with Nature and each other. But who really governs your life? Is it you? Is it your conscious mind or unconscious mind? Or, maybe, you simply don't know. Know more about yourself! Try this video. Visit us also in our website: www.exploringourcosmos.com. Acknowledgement No infringement intended ...

Are you spiritual or religious? Maybe both? What does it mean to be a spiritual person? What's the difference between the two?

Is the spirit world real? What do science and religion say about the spirit realm? Are we alone in the universe? Who dwells in the spirit world? How did the spirit come about? Does it affect us and our physical world?

What are paranormal events? Are they real? What are examples of paranormal phenomena? How did they come about? Do they affect us and our physical world?

Is our free will an illusion? Or, is it real? In what way is our free will an illusion or real? Is it possible perhaps that we are both free and determined?

What is free will? Are we free or already predetermined from the very beginning?

What is the Self? Who am I? What's the difference between the self and the ego? Should we totally remove our ego? What role does the ego play in our life?

What is this thing we call "consciousness?" What is its origin? Where did it come from? Did it evolve from the brain? Or, did it come from somewhere out there? What's its importance and relevance to us humanity and the world around us?
