How the Unconscious Mind Plans the Life for Our Conscious Reality
The Part of You That Seems to Be In the “Back” of Your Mind Does More Than You Think
Did you know that it’s believed that a huuuge percentage of our daily actions are made from our subconscious mind?
Things like breathing, blinking, your heartbeat — all these essential functions happen automatically without you having to consciously think about them.
But beyond just bodily functions, our subconscious mind also seems to be the one pulling the strings in many of our day-to-day decisions and behaviors.
It’s like we have this whole other part of ourselves, working behind the scenes to direct our life, while our conscious mind is just along for the ride.
But where’s the difference between conscious and subconscious? What is the subconscious? What is our core self, and how could we name it? I will discuss those questions in this post.
I have a provoking and humourous video from exurb1a I want to share with you on this topic. I recommend you to watch it before you read further.
Fair warning — it might spark a mini existential crisis!
But sometimes those are necessary for growth. Check it out:
Feel free to discuss those questions (and the video) with me through the comments. There are no right or wrong answers, because a large chunk of those topics is still “unknown”.
Beyond the subconscious, I believe there is an even deeper part of ourselves we don’t notice often.— the core of who we are, beyond all conditioning and beliefs.
I believe it’s something beyond this 3D reality — call it a soul, higher self, or the light within. It’s the very essence of who we are, beneath all the layers of conditioning and beliefs.
You can feel it in the space between words, in the calm after a storm, when your mind quiets even just for a moment. It’s there when you’re fully present, immersed in nature, watching a bird soar by as a river gently flows in the distance.
What if, as some like Dolores Cannon wrote much about, it is our soul, which is mostly (currently) part of our subconscious mind that plans out the blueprint for our entire life before we incarnate?
What if every challenge, every synchronicity, every person we meet — it’s all been sort of “pre-arranged” by our higher self, in order to learn and grow in the specific ways we need to? It’s a trippy thought.
Maybe we don’t have to differenciate between the subconscious, conscious and the soul, because they all are playing their parts, in harmony, as a “dance”.
The key is learning to live from that place more often — to make decisions and take actions not just from unconscious programming, but from your soul’s true calling. It takes practice, but every time you choose presence and alignment over auto-pilot, you’re strengthening that connection.
So pay attention to what’s driving your life behind the scenes. Is it serving your highest good?
By understanding its influence and partnering with it, rather than fighting against it, we tap into a whole new level of potential. A life beyond our wildest dreams awaits.
