Is the soul and your subconscious the same thing?

Hi Promisem, This is a great question. I am pretty sure I can't do it justice, but I will grapple with this along with you. My understanding is that a person, created in God's image is a triune being. We are body, soul, and spirit. Biblical teachers define the soul as mind, will, and emotions, and spirit as the pure, inner self that is able to commune with God. Our thoughts, desires, and emotions are located in the brain and body. The subconscious is a function of the brain and body. So the soul and body are closely knit together. For example, how do we know we are afraid? Our thoughts think fearful thoughts, our hearts race, our palms get sweaty. If we separate the soul from the body, could we still feel fear? The subconscious, like the emotions, is brain activity that is outside of, or beneath, our current conscious awareness. It often directs our lives. So I would say the subconscious is part of our soul realm, but certainly not synonymous with the soul.
