One of the greatest powers a human has in this life is their ability to notice the importance of the thoughts which arise from the subconscious. This occurs when the mind is in cruise control, and perhaps the body is carrying out some physical task which doesn’t require much intellectual effort. For example, washing the dishes, taking a walk, doing yoga, or even the moments before falling asleep.
These thoughts are effortless and they’re a natural synthetic reaction from one’s own experience in life. They are stored in the subconscious and hold some truth to them as a worthy thing to explore and perhaps act upon.
These thoughts could be something that repeatedly comes across the mind throughout the span of days, and holds an intuitive charge to them. Their source feels inexplicable – a notable quality of the mysterious nature of the subconscious – but their weight feels strong.
Exploring these thoughts through a meditative form of internal pondering – like journaling, silence – can bring about a revelation of some sorts to then act upon. This action then exercises the spiritual power one has to orient their decisions around higher guidance. An unfoldment of the soul’s journey – one’s personal myth. Walking with God in an intentional manner.
On a collective level, the relationship between one and their subconscious thoughts is important in not allowing a societal system to rule a people which does not operate in their highest good. A harmful, and maybe transactional, system that people settle for could be questioned by the soul of a person and then called out through their subconscious thoughts. The individual gains spiritual clarity on the role of this system in the world through their own intuitive feelings.
These principles of growth and change apply to the individual’s journey as well. If one finds themselves in a habit or way of being that is timed to be outgrown, subconscious thoughts may notify the person of this coming change. Again, the thoughts natural and effortless just like the cycles of nature and change.
What may be the most important and intrinsic quality of these subconscious thoughts is that their meaning and relevant identity to the person is something intuitive. The person holds the answers within as to what these thoughts mean.
The person needs no validation, explanation, or other external mode of confirmation for their own intuitive observations of these thoughts. Any external validation which holds truth must be a reflection of an internal truth which the person already holds within them. Meaning, any advice or guidance on what these thoughts mean must resonate and feel true to the person who has the thoughts. This principle is especially relevant in our modern age where the mind is constantly tempted to direct to external sources and references of information for answers. This dynamic between the mind and the stimulation is one which dethrones the spiritual power one holds to access inner truth, because it builds the impulse to search externally for information. Thus, the intentional cultivation of one’s own relationship to their subconscious thoughts, and the meditative forms of seeking their meaning, is not only an exercise of one’s own spiritual power but a much needed act in our current stance with our technological culture.
