Conscious Minds

Mind, Body and Spirit
Everyone has heard about the three levels of being, the mind, body and spirit of a person. But there are also corresponding conscious minds for each of these areas of person as well.
The Conscious Self:
The physical brain is the mind of the Body. This is your conscious mind, the part of the self that governs your day-to-day activities. Where you reason and process information that interact with and where you hold your current life memories.
 
The Higher Conscious Self:
The sub-consciousness is the mind of the Spirit. This area of being is also called the higher consciousness of the self. This is the part of the self that talks to your conscious mind and represents the true self of a person. If you are someone who holds a lot of doubts about who you are, those thoughts are held in your subconscious mind. No matter what your physical mind does, or tries to present to others, the energy behind the doubt is still held in your subconscious mind. This is one of the reasons that what you think of yourself is so important. To over come obstacles, you must start with your subconscious mind.
 
The Super Conscious Self:
The super consciousness is the mind of the Mind. This is where you hold the aspect of the Divine within yourself. Some call this level of consciousness the Divine Self or the God-Self. You might think of this as the controlling mind of the whole being. This is where you hold your past life memories, your spiritual presence in this incarnation, your reasoning center for making choices on a spiritual level, and your connection or bridge to the greater Universal Divine Spirit.
 
Building A Bridge Between Minds
Meditation is the way we build the bridge between our conscious (physical mind) and subconscious (spiritual mind) and super-conscious (Divine Self). By making this connection stronger and stronger each time you meditate, you are establishing a permanent bridge between these conscious minds. One you can use not just in meditation, but through out your waking day. When you're faced with an issue, or a problem, you can easily cross the bridge and look at what's going on from a higher perspective, that of your Divine Self. Doing this can help you react to negative situations in a positive light, instead of reacting in a knee jerk negative way and making matters worse.
 
But more than that, it helps you to "see" with your Divine Self, or another way to say it, with your Spiritual Eyes. You can tap into your Divine Self and guide your physical actions through out your day. This helps each person walk the path of their soul, make choices during the day that leads them closer to fulfilling the purpose of their soul and the intent of their life in this incarnation. From working on karma to learning the spiritual lessons you choose to fulfill your inner spiritual purpose.
