The Subconscious Need Always Overrides the Conscious Want

If there is one thing that all of my patients learn from me, it is that the subconscious need will always over ride the conscious want. What this refers to, as I have said in other articles is that no matter what we may wish for, intention, visualize, desire, need, or want may be subject to sabotage due to a deeper psychological core issue that is not in sink with our getting more.

The subconscious is the psychological DNA, built from birth to eight denoting who one believes he/she is, and how one believes they are seen by the world. Once this is laid into the personality foundation, it is there forever until it is unlearned at the level it was originally implanted. The conscious wants on the other hand, are all the things we want to achieve and accomplish in our lives. Such things as an education, a profession, a career, make good money, have healthy relationships, i.e., romantic and friends, create abundance, change, or have peace and goodness in our lives. All of these things are the overt desires that are not only normal, but appropriate.

Hence, what happens when we want to drink pure water and only have a muddy glass to drink from? Obviously, we choke on the muddy water that gags us as we whole heatedly ingest bad water. And no matter how hard we want to believe, deny or make the muddy water into clear water, the only result we are going to get is gagging. What this means to each of us is that until the glass is cleaned out, we can not truly get what we want. So too, is it with the subconscious. If housed in the subconscious sense of self is negative miss-beliefs, then the well of our desires will be tainted.

Specifically, if at our core psychological DNA there lies a miss-belief that we are unlovable, how can we find a healthy love? We can't! How if at our core, we hold a miss-belief about ourselves that we are unworthy, can we be given wealth? How can, if at our psychological core we hold a miss-belief that we are bad, can we find goodness? Again, though we may find some of what we want there will be sabotage. As we hold a learned miss-belief about our selves as our truth, we will not be able to rise above it and allow what it is we want because at our core, we do not believe we are really deserving of it.

Now, when I say we do not believe we are truly deserving, I am not taking about a figure of speech. I mean that in the core of your being is a sense that this is all you get, and you are not about getting anything more. This belief system runs our behavior, our choices, our intentions, and our ability to expand in life. If, for instance you grow up in an alcoholic family, one of the common reports of home life is that one never knew as you walked through the door what was going to happen. Therefore, whenever you come home having had a good day, the alcoholic would lash out at the family due to his/her intoxication and ruin the good moment. As that pattern gets laid in the subconscious, the Adult Child of an Alcoholic (A.C.O.A.) takes in at their core psychological DNA that goodness is only temporary and that at some point the 'other shoe will drop.' Now remember, this is not an intellectual construct.

It is a psychological core belief that is a true a reality as the sun coming up in the east and setting in the west. Hence, in their adulthood, A.C.O.A.s have a core mistrust of goodness. In fact, as goodness increases, so does their sense of agitation, expecting that it is going to be sabotaged. As this agitation increases, it becomes so uncomfortable that at some point the A.C.O.A. sabotages the goodness just to get rid of the agitation. Here, there is the reality of the unconscious need to minimize agitation, and the resulting sabotage over rides the conscious want for goodness.

This premise can be seen in many other examples, but lets take one more. What if you grow up in a family where you take in at the psychological DNA core that you are unworthy of love. This is predicated on the situational reality that your parents were unloving, disallowing, non-nurturing, deeply wounded, etc. Once this is in your belief system remember it is there for life until you unlearn this miss-belief at the level you learned it at.

So as you venture into adult relationships wanting to find healthy love and acceptance, you end up with people who are distant, non-nurturing, and unavailable. How again does this happen? If the subconscious holds that you are not worthy of love, it sabotages the conscious want for a healthy loving relationship. What typically happens is that the person usually finds someone to keep proving themselves to, so that they can "try" to earn love from an unloving source.

There are many examples of how the subconscious need over rides the conscious want, but the important point to make is that you have to do the inner work of unlearning the core psychological DNA miss-beliefs to be able to attract and keep your conscious desires and intentions.

Conscious, Subconscious and Superconscious

Many discussions are held regarding the conscious, subconscious, and superconscious minds and also about unconscious thoughts. We have heard about the superconscious in different contexts. But how does the superconscious relate to our thoughts and to creating what we desire to have in our lives?

Our conscious mind is the part of us that makes decisions and expresses what is to be impressed on the subconscious mind. It is that part of our mind that we are most aware of while in the awake state and it is that part of the mind that perceives all that is around us. It makes a decision or should make a decision whether it will accept and allow a certain image or information to be impressed on the subconscious. Unfortunately most of the time, people are not in conscious awareness of what they are being exposed to and so a lot of information that is not empowering or useful enters into the subconscious mind and then the person wonders why their life is as it is. This is where being in an unconscious state of mind enters. So you are in an unconscious mode while in a conscious state of mind.

The subconscious is like the powerhouse behind making a desire come into physical manifestation. It makes no decisions of right or wrong and accepts what has been impressed on it and creates from there. But the subconscious actually plays a bigger role in a person's life for the power of the subconscious actually comes through from the superconscious.

The superconsciousness is the God or Source energy. It is of a very high frequency. It is much higher than we would be able to handle or sustain in the lower vibration of our physical bodies. As we evolve through our lives, we are to learn how to handle the higher vibrations of this energy while maintaining the aspects of the physical body. The subconscious acts as a governor that restricts or allows a certain amount of energy or power to flow through. It is affected by emotions and the emotional character of the thoughts we have. So as our thoughts and emotions are of a happy, joyful nature, the subconscious allows more of the superconsciousness to flow through. If our emotions and emotional character of our thoughts are less than happy, then the subconscious restricts the amount of superconscious energy that flows through for it is less of a vibrational match and it would be harder on the body.

Have you ever seen a baby within the first 24 hours of its birth? Have you noticed how "pure" or "bright" or "filled with light" the baby seems? You are seeing a Being of very high vibration that has not had the flow of superconscious/God/Source energy restricted. As the child is exposed to everyday life, the thoughts and feelings of lower vibration that the child is around becomes part of his/her energy field and that higher vibration is reduced. As the child grows and has even more exposure to messages from media and others plus its own thoughts and emotions that are not of a high vibration or happy nature, the vibration continues to lessen. By the time the child is an adult, the vibration can be quite reduced, the person feels quite sluggish in their life and may also have feelings of sadness, depression, etc.

Now, what does this have to do with creating and manifesting in your life? When you are fully in non-physical form, you are then in an energy form of the superconscious/God/Source. In this form, when you have a thought about something it manifests instantly. So the more that you have this superconscious energy flowing through you while in the physical body, the quicker your manifestations will occur.

The subconscious makes no decision whether to restrict or not the flow of superconsciousness energy to you, but instead allows to come forth the amount of energy that is a match to the emotions and emotional character of the thoughts that are present. Maintain the higher vibrational frequencies in your thoughts and emotions and you will bring forth more of the superconscious/God/Source energy in your life and you will see wonderful things happen quicker in your life. This includes excellent health in your body, for the diseases, sickness, and other health issues which are of a low vibration can not be maintain in the present of a higher vibration.

Subconscious and Conscious Mind

The subconscious conscious mind are states of consciousness where in terms of personal development and self-awareness, knowledge of their use is used as a means for attainment of higher states of consciousness and mind awareness development. The conscious and subconscious are also terms coined to represent aspects of the mind and knowledge related to human awareness that has to do with living, meaning and how we view life.

The subconscious for example gives meaning through the language of symbols and images. Conceptual thinking, creative ideas, beliefs and abstract forms of thinking are the types of expressions found in the subconscious. It also holds the memory of our life experiences and patterns of genetic behavior related to our upbringing and conditioning.

The subconscious holds the key to greater awareness of mind in terms of thoughts and feelings, however meaning and information from them is really of no use unless it is expressed consciously and with awareness for whatever good reason. Subconscious expressions that pass through to the conscious mind are filtered by the process of logic and reason which makes them more practical and better understood in their expression. Otherwise there would be no sense or meaning to what we do or say or relate to or about.

On the other hand the conscious part of the mind is what gives expression to our waking state and awareness. Our sensory experiences supply information from the outside world that is then assimilated by our conscious thought processes and feelings. Which in turn are sent to the subconscious where they are re-formulated into beliefs, desires and values which in turn are drawn upon by the conscious mind in the form of experiences which make interpretation of our life what it is and how we see it. All the information related to our life experiences is stored in the subconscious as memory.

The conscious mind on its own also plays a part in the re- interpretation of some aspects of the subconscious such as the meaning of symbols, related to the experiences and information it interprets from outside of its own conscious awareness or if you prefer from outside of ones state of self-awareness. However when it comes to interpretation of higher levels of awareness, it relies on assistance from the minds higher intelligence networks such as the intuitive and soul and spiritual aspects of consciousness whose origins are found in the higher states of the minds deeper patterns of subconscious awareness.

The subconscious conscious mind when used in conjunction with self-awareness are the three key aspects of mind used to attain to higher states of consciousness. They also work together to describe the overall quality, life and purpose of human and individual consciousness as major components of consciousness as a whole. They refer to aspects of the mind in terms of our human nature and understanding about what life is and also who and what we are, as well as our relationship to being a part of the universal life force itself.

Higher awareness

The meanings given here in this article on subconscious conscious, refers to higher awareness states as those which fit in reference to the minds intelligence and expressions of individual soul and spiritual consciousness. In a larger sense states of individual higher awareness are connected to consciousness of universal and divine states of being which form the cosmic streams of subconscious conscious activities of which the planes of the human stream of consciousness is but only a segment of.

First off it becomes necessary to think in terms that everything created is fundamentally made out of electromagnetic forces and particles of matter in varying degrees of density. That also includes thoughts, feelings and any state of consciousness regardless of what state it is.

The mind of reason can be applied to anything and made to make sense of it, if it is used rightly and in conjunction with the subconscious mind awareness and higher conscious aware states. When a person is conscious and aware at the time of something happening in their subconscious it becomes possible to see not only how the subconscious patterns of their behavior work, but also how they work from a position of mental detachment, in which the self-awareness has been elevated to a higher mode of consciousness expression which supports enough reason for the validity of those higher states.

When the goal in a technique of development in higher mind awareness includes a conscious interpretation of the activities of the subconscious forces, for clarity's sake the mind calls upon higher awareness energies such as those that are more purified and strengthened by use of the power of the will and intelligence which stem from higher perceptions of the intelligence of mind.

It's through a person's consciousness and their higher expression of it, with its subsequent subconscious expression that conscious choices are made while in those states about their direction in life and their soul purpose and the meaning of it. These subtle and important choices may go unnoticed by the normal waking consciousness of the everyday awareness of mind. Because they are states of awareness made by the higher self and where it may not necessarily be consciously recognized by the normal waking conscious mind, however they still exist nonetheless as a form of higher guidance posited in the persons aura in the form of electromagnetic states of intelligent consciousness to which the higher states of mental awareness are more refined and cultivated.

To some they may be totally unconscious of these states, while to others they may be termed subconscious while yet again to others theses states of higher mind awareness are conscious states of the subconscious whose levels are of a frequency and rate of vibration, where the range in awareness is of a different sense or quality of consciousness but is still perceived consciously, however only by the mind of soul and its senses. The difference being they are simply termed subconscious because they refer to what's hidden from the conscious mind and the physical world as it appears.

In addition, conscious choices made while in higher states of awareness may not be totally recognized or in fact clearly understood at a later date when only in a conscious waking state by a person unless they happen to already have a good working knowledge of how metaphysical laws and principles work. Also when at the time the self-awareness is not particularly focussed on any subconscious activities related to higher states of consciousness. When that is the case quite often any experiences experienced while in a higher state of consciousness become relegated to the minds awareness as an unconscious part of the subconscious--- or at least until a bridge of consciousness has been created by the soul and they are ready to be recognized by it as a conscious process of maturity related to its experiences in the world of physical, emotional and mental matter.

Conscious choices made while in higher states of consciousness are always for the benefit of the soul while on its journey through life as they are used to further increase the conscious use of a person's subconscious awareness applied to their physical, emotional and mental vehicles of consciousness as part of their evolutionary purpose.

The benefits of awareness of higher states of consciousness are there for anyone who takes the time to discover them within themselves. They are valuable aids in mind development which give results that lead to an increase in the awareness of life on a much vaster scale and with a whole lot more significance attached to the meaning and purpose of it.

There are different levels of human consciousness all of which go to make up the awareness of subconscious conscious and unconscious aspects of mind. Higher states of mind consciousness such as for example universal-soul-spiritual-divine or cosmic states; along with the more common states such as the physical-emotional-mental and intuitive nature of consciousness all go together to form part of mind awareness in its varying degrees of expression.

All these conditions of consciousness are in their most basic form states or conditions of energy in varying densities of matter. The higher states are more refined energies of mental awareness whose dimensions are different forms of consciousness formed out of the more subtle electromagnetic properties of matter. The form of consciousness lies hidden as the potentiality of mind in the nucleus of the subatomic or rather sub-atmic (atmic means spirit) particles of the soul's life force until a certain level of self-awareness is sufficiently refined enough as consciousness to attract and emit those energies which are allayed to the souls emotional and mental patterns and designs suited for its conscious expression as a human.

Realistically subconscious conscious unconscious are merely names given by us to describe our human behavior in terms of our perception and reasoning of a higher intelligence and mind awareness where we come to "know" by comparing that "which is known" to that which is "still yet to become known". The whole purpose of life it seems is to become more and more conscious and aware of it; by greater attunement to the forces of the conscious subconscious and unconscious, so that we can experience life better on a conscious level and come to see it for what it really is, and improve upon it where needed, in relation to our individual experiences and thoughts and feelings we get from it as a result of taking a conscious part in all levels of it.

That cannot truly happen unless the levels of consciousness of a person are experienced from a higher state of self-awareness whereby each level is able to be viewed simultaneously; caused as a result of a person's intelligence of each one contributing to that state of higher awareness of mind; which if it pleases we can term the soul for want of a better word. In other words in relation to development of extra mind awareness-better relations in the appreciation of life are formed and the link between a person's soul awareness and their conscious awareness of their subconscious- conscious relationship and higher states of consciousness are better orchestrated by use of their higher self-awareness and the flow of energies being exchanged between the main levels or planes of their consciousness is being maintained as a flow of unity and harmonious expressions.
