The Unconscious Mind: Part 2: Exposing Negativity to the Conscious Mind

Let’s face it. Regardless of how much positive thinking you apply, you’ll never get beyond your negative past by suppressing it. Deepseated, childhood/parental and traumatic relationship issues that you think you’ve put behind you need to be brought into the conscious mind to expose they're lack of value.

What’s wrong with our approach?

Like the sorcerer’s apprentice, we have a great power but we don't have the wisdom to control it. We don't understand the tool we’re using and the mechanism by which we create our own suffering. We tend to focus on the content of our perceptions, our illusions, and this has created deep habits of thought. We’ve become more afraid of living than of dying. And all of this is born of the limited conditioned way in which we think, feel and experience life.

But what is real?

The Laws which govern Consciousness do not waver. Everything you think and do has only the meaning you ascribe to it, so by going deep into meditation and reviewing your negative thoughts and experiences, you can bring them to the foreground. In this way you expose the illusory hold they have on you. You can assign new meaning to them or replace them with a new positive perspective. Anything that has held you back, anything which proves to be valueless, will fall by the wayside, lifeless without the energy you’ve been giving it.

Once you figure out that the walls of your unconscious mind are imaginary and you stop living from the context of your upbringing, your parents’ views and your social groups, escape is easy.

Negating the Negative

To be present means to be completely alert - aware of your current surroundings. Releasing the past brings inner stillness that drives you to a higher frequency. You are literally vibrating on a different level.

Attempting to deny or bury thoughts, emotions and experiences, worry, fear and stress over the past, negativity, anxiety and nervousness will all lower the frequency necessary to create, to manifest and to heal.

When you become familiar with your negative unconscious self and expose emotions and thoughts which have no edifying value, it’s very unlikely you’ll never go back to them. Fundamentally, you must reach a place where the habits and imprints that have been tearing you down are replaced with ones which build your life up towards what you want instead of away from it. In this way, you will be able to move into that new state of being, that new personality, that new reality.

Ask yourself, what is the greatest ideal of myself that I want to be today? Self-love is not about pleasure; it’s about leaving the emotional propensities connected to your past. Letting go of them is often difficult but in order to make room for new imprints, you must decide that what has been hindering your growth and success no longer has any power. On the other side of pain is freedom.

There’s power in your actual spoken words, so use them to create new images and ‘virtual’ experiences. Remain observant of any negativity that comes into your life which might be trying to reinforce old perspectives. This is what it means to be aware.

The esoteric nature of your being will begin to thrive when you’re willing to give up everything you’ve ever known. In this way, you will master your life.
