BRIDGE TO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS

The fact that we’re conscious is obvious. But what may not be so obvious is how our consciousness works and how to make the best use of it.

Consciousness is more than the mind. It’s an intelligence taking place at every level of our being, from the quantum (subatomic) level to the cellular, culminating in the brain. The brain is the control center of consciousness; it produces the inner activity we experience as a thinking mind.

The experience of thinking is what gives us our sense of being a conscious person in control of our actions -- as we act out our thoughts, we take ownership of them even though we often don’t consciously formulate or choose them. Most of our thoughts arise spontaneously from our subconscious, triggered by beliefs, mindsets, and fractured parts of ourselves (sub-personalities), each having its own cause and ‘will’ (sub-will).

When triggered, these elements of our subconscious automatically spring into action and shape our behavior. To take true control, we need to become very mindful and observe ourselves with detachment. As we do this, we bring into focus a higher level of self and mind -- a Master Mind Self.

At a Master Mind level of Self, we may truly take responsibility for our actions and choose which thoughts (or feelings) to follow. We could also choose to focus at other higher ‘channels’ of mind -- i.e., intuition, prayer, meditation, and divine union; all lead us to ‘miraculous’ outcomes when entered authentically.

Thus, detachment is the bridge that takes us from a lower, automatic functioning mind to a higher, Masterfully functioning mind. Ironically, it’s through detachment that we gain our greatest creative power and connection with life.

ARE YOU PREPARING FOR SUCCESS?

The simple key to all success is doing what’s needed, timely. This is how success of any kind is brought about -- in career, relationships, and all other aspects of daily life. When we’re ready and able to deliver what’s needed, we’re in a position to naturally succeed. So when we’re not successful, we probably weren’t sufficiently prepared to succeed.

Therefore the key to success lies in how well prepared we are for it

All very successful people seem to know this instinctively. They invest a lot of time and energy in preparing themselves for success. And a major part of this preparation is in training their mind to work at higher levels.

Mind is the essential tool of success and when we operate at its higher levels, success comes naturally. It’s not the normal workings of mind, but the higher levels of mind, that bring about great success ... and many highly successful people are constantly using their mind’s higher levels -- that’s one big reason why they’re so successful.

The higher levels of mind to which I refer are DETACHMENT, MASTER WILL, INTUITION, INSPIRATION and HARMONIC RESONANCE. Focusing at these levels of mind often is what gives highly successful people their edge. Thus, they not only live more inspired and successful lives, they inspire others to do the same.

Many people have been led to believe that these higher levels of mind can’t be reached by choice. They believe this only because they haven’t been shown how, or they haven’t taken the time to train their mind in these ways ... or because they’ve become trapped in their mind’s lower levels and can’t see their way free. And all of these issues can be addressed. (This is what my weekly LIFE MASTERY TRAINING and upcoming event, LIVING AT HIGHER LEVELS OF MIND, are for and about.)

Accessing higher levels of mind is an important human capacity, often misunderstood or overlooked. Yet learning to do so is often the last bit of preparation we may need to do in order to bring our lives to peak success.

A KEY PROBLEM OF MIND

A key problem of mind is that its default setting is autopilot, so we often think, feel and act automatically.

This serves a convenient purpose, allowing us to do routine things with ease. But it can also keep us from utilizing our higher capacities of mind and acting with wisdom and finesse. Thus, we often don't get our best results and sometimes unintentionally act inappropriately and get bad results. So, while living on autopilot can be convenient and easier than not, it can also be the very cause of much failure and unhappiness.

To live more successfully and at our happiest, we need to take control of our mind and deliberately focus it at higher levels -- levels that are fully rational, objective, intuitive, and creatively and lovingly inspired. But before we can do this, we may need to recognize how much we live on autopilot and undermine our higher mental capacities. And this can be difficult to see and accept, for we tend to cling to the strong belief that we're in full control of our thoughts and actions ... when we're actually not.

Yet, if we make an effort to observe ourselves closely, we may notice how automatically many of our thoughts, feelings and actions arise. (By definition, automatic means we're on autopilot.) We may also notice how our mind often leaps uncontrollably in different directions. This is not to say that all our automatic and spontaneous responses are wrong -- in many cases they serve us adequately. It is rather to underscore the fact that they are automatic and we're not as in control as we may think. And that they often unpredictably impact events in detrimental ways regardless of our good intentions.

If you observe this process you may see the true situation -- that our actions are often automatic and don't meet the true needs of many situations; and that to get the good results we want, a freer and higher level of mind is often needed.
