S 135 "Do we have two minds, conscious mind and unconscious mind, or do we have only One mind?

"Do we have two minds, conscious mind and unconscious mind, or do we have only One mind?

Many years ago, J. Krishnamurti asked above question.

Now Science has found, through brain mapping, that before we think a thought or make a choice, some 0.005 second earlier, movements are seen in unconscious part of brain.

Implication of this discovery is wide. It may mean that all our thoughts and choices may be controlled by unconscious parts of our brain.

Criminal Law in US, has already taken note of this development for purpose of interpreting whether accused had intention to murder or was he acting under emotional forces over which he had no  control. Here in India, I have yet to seen a case in the Criminal Law where such points are established and argued.
