Subconscious94

I have a post that contains a lot of this piecing together different formulas or concepts so that it makes sense, check it out

@Prabhaker For somebody that has resistance to change their habits, would that be because of the subconscious mind or the ego? But from moving to mechanicalness to consciousness that will have resistance and so what is causing this resistance, on top of that what created the habit in the first place, it is the ego right which wants comfort?

Yes interesting points everyone, thank you for your thoughts. @Mathew Pav So is it possible to live primarily from your higher self or unconscious mind as you've put it? If the subconscious mind gives us our creativity, i also know that it contains our beliefs (positive and negative/Truth and non-truth) so then if thats the case wouldnt the subconscious mind be the reason for why people self-sabotage and build lives of depression? If the ego was so negative, then i cant understand how someone like Sir Richard Branson or Elon Musk is able to create such success as they are not enlightened people.

@eskwire Ah yes good point and thank you for that clarification on goals. Yes when it comes down to engagement and taking on your goals you want to do it from a place of inspiration (Authentic self) not Desperation (Ego).

Can the community help me understand the difference between "subconscious" and "ego"? I've been using them interchangeably but through further study and inquiry i perceive there may be times that the subconscious is seen as being beneficial (eg. when paradigms/frameworks are aligned with desires) and it appears almost universally the Ego is perceived as being detrimental to my control and progress. But I'm clearly confused about the distinction. Just for further clarification, if someone were to self-sabotage would that be because of their ego or subconscious mind?

Hi Barry, i think the next thing you need to figure out is your priorities. I feel if you had clarity over how you should be spending your time you will have confidence in making a decision. I feel personally that your ego is creating all this confusion and if you just sit with yourself and observe become the eye in the storm so to speak, be in the middle of the storm and you'll gain your clarity from there. In terms of your situation i think its wise to keep improving and developing your habits, girls in the future will come as you develop your life and raise your consciousness, from there you'll find the right girls will come to you as your perspective has changed. If you keep thinking of wanting another girl and its not coming from a place of desperation but inspiration then for sure pursue pick-up and let that be your primary focus. In essence you'll find your clarity if you quiet your ego.

Can anyone help dive deep enough and explain into the inner process of Ego as to why people can build entire lives filled with addiction, depression and fear, and not garnish enough power to have any real chance to choose a different path? As we know this isn't true for all people as some people go on to live amazing lives filled with great success, but we also have some people who struggle to overcome the self-sabotaging habits and behaviors that keep them stuck for years and years.

Got it! Just to add to that is your authentic self your higher self? I confuse the two. To finish is your subconscious mind your ego or is that your unconscious mind? Or completely separate context.

@Bodhi123 Thank you so, so much for giving your response, im very grateful! Yes i do know that spirituality is in integration, but its just to help make sense of it when people like leo talk about it in his videos of which he has many ranging from different subjects. For example when he talks about self-esteem, but then isnt self-esteem reinforcing the ego which then contradicts the whole enlightenment journey? Ect Thanks Again!

Interesting point, thanks for that!

Hi leo, what about creating short 1 min to the point concise pure value giving videos about anything you want, so would give a nice contrast between your long deeper videos and for people maybe at work or otherwise at a drive thru, just something quick and powerful, straight to the point.

How about both? Why choose black and white? Go for 50% Spirituality and 50% Success driven or you can put it like engage but become the least attached, so that way you are 100% engaging in your goals success, but you are also utilizing the concepts from spirituality to keep yourself centered and grounded.

Hi all, So i've come across a lot of concepts in self-development and i have here a list of common concepts that i feel all link together in some way, but i am confused on exactly how they all link and make sense with each other. Heres the list: Higher Self - Lower Self High Consciousness - Low Consciousness Ego Authentic Self Conscious, Subconscious and Unconscious mind High - Low Self-Esteem Enlightenment Emotions (Joy,Peace - Apathy, Depression) (Different scales of emotion depending on your state of consciousness) Mind, Thought, Consciousness (Three Principles) (Sydney Banks Concepts) Paradigms Trauma Conditioning Abundance - Scarcity Spirit, Soul, Body, Mind Happiness Engagement Attachment Aim I basically want to be able to match them together and make sense of the madness, distill them into the root principles to have a clear line of what effects what moving forward in my/our personal development journey. My Current Understanding So i'll start with what i currently know and make sense of (May not be accurate but just what i have experienced and can make sense of) From my humble experience ive noticed whenever i become lost in ego i operate at a very 'low conscious' head-space and thus give in to bad habits like watching TV all day or even playing video games when i know i should be exercising for example. So from this experience i concluded the following correlation: 'The Higher your Consciousness - The Lower the grip of Ego' 'The Higher the Ego - The lower your state of Consciousness.' (And thus you are asleep as they say) If i was to piece everything together from the list above (With my current understanding) it would be this: The goal is to reach higher states of consciousness, through higher states of consciousness you will be more aligned to your high self/being, your higher self/being is your authentic self? To raise consciousness you have to be aware of the ego within, the nutter that tries to run the show and so you need to create space between the thoughts as not to identify with them, by this you simply become aware, be the watcher. Presence work, meditation etc can develop this awareness and raise consciousness. Also raising consciousness can be in evolving new paradigms of thought and achieving those 'epiphanies' or 'breakthroughs' you've experienced. Your lower self is where your ego is in control, somehow you've let your ego take over, if left uncontrolled you will go in a downward spiral of your mind and your life as the ego will bring you towards engaging with negative habits like video games, excessive alcohol, binge watching TV or even TV in general as this causes you to fall 'unconscious' where your ego thrives, getting angry, engaging in negative emotions etc. (Although negative emotions is fine and sometimes necessary, just not to constantly be in that place.) Enlightenment is where your ego is dissolved or at least at 0% in terms of influence, where your mind is now 100% clear. Abundance and scarcity is the conditioning of your subconscious mind, the way you view yourself and the world, it is the foundation for your thoughts and beliefs, where you are aligned to your higher self and thus an abundant mind can be achieved in raising your consciousness. Scarcity is where a lack mindset its where the ego thrives in, nothings is ever enough and things can become 'hard' etc. Summary To summarize: Higher Self/Being is the state you're in when operating at a higher consciousness Lower Self/Being is the state you're in when Ego is in control or in other words you've identified with your mind/thoughts/story-line etc. Higher consciousness is the process where your raising your awareness of your experience in life. Lower consciousness is where your under the guise or influence of your ego. Goal Theres things i dont understand for example: Subconscious mind - Is this the fuel that your ego uses to keep you trapped, so for example if in your subconscious you have a belief where girls are hard to get, your ego will keep you in resistance to changing that belief? Unconscious Mind - Is this your ego? Hence why when you see 'Unconscious' people, really they are just on auto-pilot or living within the paradigms of there ego? Authentic Self - Is this where you have dissolved the fronts that your have put up caused by your ego? (To protect you from past traumas, experiences) Self-esteem - High and low self-esteem is this just the different facets of your ego because if we are born whole and then we derive our sense of self from thought and thus ego, so for example if you have a very good looking guy he will feel he has high self-esteem but only because he is good looking, however if you throw acid in his face he will begin to have low self-esteem as he has lost his 'identity' so this links with your ego? Engagement - This is where you have aligned your ego and are pushing forwards towards your goals and values in life, you are engaging with the process, your purpose, you are satisfying your ego, for example you fully engaging in your goals and you are wanting a result, this is an ego thing because if you are enlightened then you have no reason for goals or engagement in anything as you are in enlightenment which links with the fact there is no ego? Happiness - Theres two parts on one end you can be happy by achieving your goals and thus your ego (which is a temporary happiness) and the other end you can just be happy by just being, so where you are your authentic self? Spirit, Soul, Body and Mind - where does that make sense in regards to consciousness or authentic self for example. i really want you guys to challenge this as i need to clarify these concepts, its confusing because sometimes different websites or videos talk about these concepts but don't link it with other things like lower-self being a direct influence of your ego etc etc.

Heres a question: Take person A someone who is self-destructive, as in they continue to engage with negative habits which only make their life and health for that matter worse, they also have suicidal tendencies and self-harm. Now take Person B who becomes a millionaire and he's also never read a book on self-development or Spirituality. What would you say is the reason for that persons poor mental state compared to a guy who doesnt know any spiritual or self-development material and still becomes a millionaire? Do both of these people have an Ego? As im sure the answer is yes, then why is person A unable to become a millionaire, but person B can?
