Super consciousness and the Human Mind

Conscious and Unconscious Actions

• Conscious Actions: We are fully aware of these actions, like moving our hand. You know you are doing it, and you can control it.

• Unconscious Actions: These include automatic functions like your heart beating. You don’t think about it; it just happens. This is known as instinct.

Superconsciousness

Superconsciousness: This is a higher state of awareness that goes beyond regular consciousness. It’s where inspiration and profound insights come from. Think of it as accessing a higher level of understanding that is usually beyond our everyday awareness.

Examples of Superconsciousness

Socrates: He, the renowned philosopher, stood motionless for two entire days, his eyes fixed on the horizon as the sun slowly rose, casting its golden light over the land. His surroundings faded into the background as he became lost in deep contemplation, oblivious to the passage of time. The world around him seemed to vanish, leaving only the burning orb in the sky and the musings of his profound thoughts. During these moments of deep introspection, Socrates gained profound knowledge and insights that would shape his philosophical teachings for years to come.

The Human Mind

• Instinct vs. Reason: Instinct is automatic and comes from unconscious actions. The reason involves conscious thinking and decision-making.

• Beyond Both: Superconsciousness transcends both instinct and reason, bringing us to a higher plane of understanding.

Practical Application

• Achieving Higher Awareness: You can try to access this higher state of awareness by cultivating mindfulness, meditation, or deep.reflection. This can lead to moments of great inspiration and clarity.

• Examples in History: Many great thinkers and prophets throughout history have experienced superconsciousness, leading to significant contributions to humanity.

In essence, it’s about realizing your potential to access deeper insights and knowledge, like the many great minds before us.
