Deep Question...
An older spiritual book I came across said that God is the unconscious. Or vice-versa, let's say. Aren't we are all supposed to be honing our consciousness skills? If SO, do you think maybe the messages from our unconsciousness are supposed to feed the light of our consciousness???

Just like anything balance is the navigator, but I thought it was interesting to view the unconscious as God..Thoughts???

1. That's interesting...I guess while I haven't thought about
the unconscious as God, I suppose I've felt for a long time that it is our main channel to God, the universe, the other side--however youperceive it. As we become more attuned to our un- or subconscious, I think it allows our connection to flow to our other senses and states of consciousness, maybe. As far as it being God, to the extent that we are all bits of God, if that is your belief system, then I think that part of us that is our soul is most at home in our subconsious. And yes, I believe that we are advancing in our consciousness via our experiences here in the "classroom"...I hope I am making sense...:)

As I've studied hypnotherapy, I have definitely seen and felt the interplay of spirit when allowing the subconscious mind to flow. My first real channel to the other side, and to precognition, was via the dream state, as well, so from a relatively early age I've felt that connection of God/Spirit and the unconscious.

Very interesting...what do others have to say?

:hi:

2. I know there are some schools of thought that ....
Say our intuitive ability's come from the sub conscious.
There is also a school of thought that says it comes from the Penal gland.
And of course the school of thought that says it comes from above.
If I'm not mistaken doesn't the subconscious process data in a very literal way.? I mean that It doesn't really do nuance. :shrug:

3. Mr Howler says and I quote......
"I think the subconscious actually does nuance better than conscious mind. When you put a problem aside for a while and your subconscious works on it and comes up with a solution "out of the blue" that requires understanding the nuances of the situation."
:loveya: I Just love that man.

Sooooooooooo.........

4. I've given this a lot of thought since you posted it
I believe you are right, in a sense. The only reason God is in our unconscious is because of our lack of awareness.
It is addressable and seeable, I believe. I have touched it once or twice. I know it is there. What I DO know is that
it's not FAR AWAY. It's (He's/She's) intimately closeby. :hi:

btw: I have found this to be a common thread amongst many Aquarians now with the 0 Aries point, where most Aquarians will experience the new 3/11 Uranus point in their 12th house, is stirring up their "unconscious". That is the 12th house.

Clear as mud?

It's so hard. :hi:
