Consciousness refers to your individual awareness of your unique
thoughts, memories, feelings, sensations and environment. Your conscious
experiences are constantly shifting and changing. For example, now you are
hopefully focused on what you are reading. Your consciousness may then shift to
the memory of a conversation you had earlier with a friend. Next, you might
notice how uncomfortable your chair is or maybe you are mentally planning that
long awaited vacation. These ever-shifting streams of thoughts can change
dramatically from one moment to the next, but your experience of them seems
smooth and effortless. To awaken is to be aware of all aspects of your life.
What are you creating in this moment? Your Consciousness is your ability or
your amount of awareness of both self and others. This awareness can range from
zero (as in deep, dreamless sleep), to Cosmic Consciousness, which is total
awareness of all that exists in all universes (the state of Consciousness of
the SUPREME BEING).
The goal is that you begin to detach from the outcome and be more
of an observer, for that is part of the personality of your soul to observe,
encourage and be in gratitude. Of course you have to first understand how your
subconscious mind or the memory banks of your mind work, if you are to make any
lasting changes. The relationship between the conscious mind and subconscious
mind is like an onion. The conscious is signified by the outer skin that is
easily viewed, while the subconscious is signified by the soft fleshy interior
and hidden. The subconscious mind works according to the law of belief, which
states; you can have anything that you want if you can give up the belief that
you can’t have it. Mark 11:23 say’s it
this way; “whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he
saith.”
To experience real
change you must become a guardian of everything entering into your mind,
because everything that you see, hear and feel goes directly into your
subconscious mind. For me, that means managing the information I allow in, and
eliminating as much negative information like the news and violent movies as
possible. I also make a daily practice of using positive words to reinforce the
attributes I desire.
There is a world inside of
you, namely your thoughts, feeling, and imagery that create your world in the
physical reality. It is, therefore, the only creative power, and everything
that you find in your physical world, has first been created by you in the
inner world of your mind, consciously or unconsciously. Knowledge of the
interaction of your conscious and subconscious minds will enable you to
transform your whole life. In order to change external conditions, you must
change the cause, which is internal. Most people try to change conditions and
circumstances by working within the frame work of those conditions and
circumstances. However, to remove discord, confusion, lack, and limitation, you
must remove the cause, and the cause is the way you are using your conscious
mind; in other words, the way you are thinking.
