Unconsciousness and consciousness
I just learned a simplifying concept of consciousness. There is consciousness and unconsciousness.
Unconsciousness is much bigger and more powerful. I'm only conscious of the things I'm conscious of but way more is always there.
All my senses are present to this unconsciousness, but only so much is let in. Or sent out.
When something becomes conscious to me I can deal with it if I want to. But if unconsciousness cannot break into my consciousness--somehow--I may be feeling the effects of the unconscious situation nonetheless. Vague but something.
Once those feelings or inklings are amplified or magnified enough so that I become conscious of "something" or conscious of those feelings or inklings, then I can respond or change. Else I'm out of it. Affected nonetheless.
When I can't hear, smell, see, taste, feel, something but I know or sense that something is there, and the volume just isn't loud enough, I need to become quiet and still and open to the slightest wisp of the energy or pattern quietly presenting itself.
What of communication?
If I only use a small portion of my brain consciously how much power can I consciously project?
Doing things consciously is so hard. I mean if I wish to say something in person, but speak strangely or dress weirdly, what I want to say will be "sent" along with the distractions of my clothing and voice. So many levels of messaging.
Alternately, if something currently unconscious to me tries to breakthrough into my consciousness, while it can reach me 10,000 different ways, my only means of detecting it is by how subtle my senses are and by how present I can be to absorb what is being "sent".
The blind leading the blind all within myself. Apparently I can send and receive communications with myself and "life" at the level of a 2-year old, or maybe a dog.
I want to be more alert, more aware, more able to receive from the unconscious and send to the unconscious whatever needs to be communicated. I'd like some flow to be present for both "sides" use. So much is there. I "know" it is, but I don't know it.
I'm still in near darkness enlightenmentwise.
I read this analogy using electricity and light bulbs. And if some tribal people who knew nothing of electric light had their living space hooked up with a 4 watt night light bulb they'd be amazed with the light.
Never realizing that bigger and brighter bulbs exist, they'd have the electricity and electrical connection to power any size bulb but if they didn't know how much was available--lightwise--to them, then they'd only have what they have.
Perhaps happily so, but certainly they would not be utilizing what was easily available to them. Because of ignorance.
And that's how I feel quite often.
I think everyone has the capacity or the wiring to connect with everything everywhere so as to do whatever we need done, of to feel what we wish to feel, or to be what we wish to be. It's all there. We just don't work the controls very well. Ignorant, ignorant.
But the desire is there for improvement and I will improve.
