“Living is
consciousness in that you must always be aware that your mind does not get in
your own way, especially if you just don’t die and have to continue the rest of
your life journey.
Consciousness of the Subconscious
The human mind is
intelligent in that it inherently knows how to organize life experiences into
different patterns so that they may be easily and readily available. These
thinking patterns are just like a filing cabinet with its many different drawers
and many different folders, each with a different tag to indicate what that is.
That filing cabinet has become the subconscious of the individual who has
created it; whenever looking for information, that individual would
automatically go and search through the many drawers and folders in his or her
filing cabinet.
Implicit
assumptions
We all have our own
individual automatic thinking
patterns to help us organize our thoughts, just like looking through our own
filing cabinet, and thus enabling us to make our subjective observations,
generalizations, predictions, and expectations. Automatically, they might have
become the many implicit assumptions to help us see how life works or doesn’t
work for us.
Indeed, we are
living in an assumptive world with just too many implicit assumptions that,
ironically enough, may often become stumbling blocks in our lives—in
particular, in how we think.
Consciousness of the subconscious may help us see the ultimate truth in our own
implicit assumptions—the truth that nothing is set in stone, and that we can
still teach an old dog new tricks. The truth of the matter is that we have to rethink our minds in order to believe
that there are many exceptions to all our assumptions derived from our own
observations, leading to our many generalizations and expectations that we
might have subconsciously created for ourselves. Our consciousness of the
subconscious may help us live the rest of our lives very differently, and not as what we might have erroneously assumed.
Always use your
consciousness to look deeply into what
is really happening in your thinking
mind—or how it might have got in your
own way by providing you with superficial observations leading to
over-generalizations that are often followed by automatic predictions and
expectations in your implicit assumptive world. Let your consciousness deliver
you from the half-truths and untruths you might have been floundering in all
these years.”
The above is taken
from “You Just Don’t Die!” If you want
to live as if everything is a miracle, you must learn how to be conscious of
what is going in your mind, especially your subconscious mind, The explanation
is that your subconscious mind controls how your conscious mind acts and reacts
to what happens in your life, and your life experiences then become the fabrics
with which you weave the realities of your life.
