This week in our Monday night group, we were talking about the conscious mind and the subconscious mind and I came up with an analogy which I've been employing this week ... and I like it. It works well for me. The conscious mind is the mind of the here and now. It knows what it wants and where it wants to go. The subconscious is the unreasoning mind, it bases everything on the past ... past failures, past fears, past happiness, past love. Nothing to do with the present. But it tries to run everything. It thinks it knows everything. It came to me that the subconscious is just like a back seat driver. You know the type .... while you're driving, they keep telling you to turn left even though you may have decided to take a different route today or they keep nagging "watch out for this, watch out for that". If you had a back seat driver like that in your car, you'd pretty soon tell them to shut up, that you are in charge and making your decisions based on what you want n-o-w, not what they think should happen. So who's doing the driving in the car of your life - you or the back seat driver? Is it your journey or theirs? |

From
the Archives Lilliande
Waters (1913) Man's consciousness contains that peculiar attribute which enables him to dramatize the creation of all good. If one has a large sum of money in the bank but is ignorant of this fact it can do him no good. Or if he knows that the money is there but does not draw upon it, does not translate it into the needful things of his daily experience, such as clothes, food;' home, etc., then that amount in the bank is of no practical use to him. Likewise, if the individual has great spiritual Wealth but does not claim it, or utilize it in the needful things of his daily living, it is of no practical value to him. |
