Understanding Your Mind's Energy & Being Your Own Leader

(part 2 of 2)
The second aspect of your consciousness is your conscious mind. It is also known as the objective mind. It is the mind of your five senses, enabling you to consciously experience the physical world. Most important, it is that aspect of your mind that is able to reason. This reasoning ability sets human beings apart from the plant and mineral kingdoms and places us highest in the animal kingdom. Your conscious mind essentially grants you the freedom to consciously, rather than unconsciously, choose your outcomes.

Given its capacity to reason and discriminate, your conscious mind has an incredibly important function. It is supposed to be the guardian at the door of your subconscious mind, ensuring that only wanted and empowering messages are allowed through. It is supposed to be the sole commander of your subconscious mind as it is only through the conscious mind that you can access the subconscious. The words supposed to be have been stressed intentionally since most people have no idea about this incredible role. Instead, they experience life in a sleep -like state, allowing messages from the media, society, school, friends, family and even those they deem their adversaries to pass through to their subconscious mind unchecked, regardless of their nature.

Who is running your show then? Most people are unaware that their life is being run in strict accordance with a set of deeply ingrained subconscious programs that they did not consciously choose in the first place. To make matters worse, it is argued that most of these programs were locked in place by the age of about ten. This is because a child’s reasoning ability is limited compared to an adult. This may enable a child to absorb new information with great superiority, but it also means that a child’s subconscious mind, being more easily programed, is left wide open to unchecked negative messages.
The simplest way to consciously override these negative programs is by learning to access your higher self through Source Connection. A child’s reasoning abilities have significantly developed by early teenage years enabling the conscious choice of which messages to accept. By then, however, core programs are already in place and the subconscious mind doesn’t want to know any different, even if it has unwittingly taken error to mean truth. You can consciously reprogram your subconscious through building a relationship to your higher self and Source Perspective.

Your higher Self or Source Perspective is the third aspect of your consciousness. It is also known as the super-conscious mind, the universe, God, Goddess. It is the least understood and least accessed aspect of consciousness because it does not belong to the physical or mental realm. Its domain is the spiritual realm. It is the you that is All-Knowing and All-Powerful and One with the Universe. It is you beyond not only the physical world, but also the emotions of your mental world. Your higher self does not distinguish between good or bad, wrong or right, happy or sad – not because it is unable, but because it has no need. It is you that knows only balance. It is you that is only Pure Love. It is the eternal observer. It is absolute stillness. It Is Truth.
