further questions on my #3 blog [Awakening to a Higher Consciousness]. \u00a0I cannot answer them all in detail, hence this follow up post that, hopefully, will provide further clarity and stimulation \ud83d\ude42 . \u00a0All of what I state below, comes from a discourse with Ascended Master St Germain:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Consciousness, in its entirety, registers most of what is going on in any moment though one may have recall, at a conscious level, of very little \u2013 especially under stress of any kind, or even under optimal conditions.\u00a0 So we go through a lot, but we register little. \u00a0So that a majority of events,\u00a0moment to moment throughout life, are experienced in a largely \u201cunconscious\u201d manner.<\/p>\n<p>You know a bit of it &#8211; most of it you are not really paying attention to.\u00a0 It\u2019s recorded, but you don\u2019t necessarily have access to that recall.\u00a0 Hypnosis can get you there, patience can get you there, associative processes can get you there, but it is not immediately available and in some people it\u2019s just well-hidden and you\u2019ve got to work really hard to get it.\u00a0 But hypnosis shows that at least some of those dark experiences can be recalled under conducive conditions or even triggered into memory by adverse conditions. \u00a0So the information you need to properly integrate ALL your experiences, in the fullest way possible, is inside of you.\u00a0 You have it, it is not out there anywhere. \u00a0The challenge is getting at it &#8211; cleanly and clearly, so that you can deal with it.<\/p>\n<p>The way in is, surprisingly, through the Self.\u00a0 Most people are running away from these things \u2013 especially if the feelings are not happy ones.\u00a0 That means that the feelings are in control.\u00a0 But the feelings are nevertheless a doorway into the Inner Truth.\u00a0 Running away means that the feeling are running the show and you are merely observing (and experiencing) that by being aware of them.\u00a0 Irrespective of whether they are happy or unhappy feelings. \u00a0But feelings are just the beginning &#8211; it is just a doorway and not the answer. \u00a0This is because feelings does not exist in a vacuum.\u00a0 They exist within a context.\u00a0 Feelings are part of a context that lives together with thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>What drives what?\u00a0 Does the feeling drive the thought or the thought the feeling, or do they drive each other?\u00a0 In this case, can you drive yourself mad by focusing on the wrong feelings attached to thought \u2013 the answer is YES!\u00a0 But conversely, you can drive yourself un-mad by focusing on the correct feelings with appropriate thoughts attached to that.\u00a0 Thoughts and feeling are never separate.\u00a0 You very seldom have a feeling so intense that there is no thought attached to it, or a thought that is so clean\/clear that has no emotion to it.\u00a0 They almost always come as a cluster.<\/p>\n<p>i.e. dogs have the same, but when happy and in their natural state they tend to have one feeling at a time, one thought at a time, one idea at a time.\u00a0 They are very clear and focused in that moment in time.\u00a0 Horses and cats are similar, with very slight variations. \u00a0Human beings (more self-aware consciousnesses), on the other hand, tend to over complicate matters.<\/p>\n<p>Making things more complex for more self-aware consciousness\u2019s, is that they tend to have many more complex thought\/feeling clusters happening (simultaneously and often at different levels).\u00a0 Most have many complex thought clusters living in us, like galaxies within the universe \u2013 there\u2019s one here happening in your higher consciousness field, one there in the background and another over there deep underground, and they don\u2019t all look the same although they may all look at the same stuff more or less and relate to each other in some fashion.\u00a0 Our job is to understand what they are, where do they come from, why am I feeling them, why am I thinking these things, how do they rate against other things that I am thinking and feeling about, what can I do about these things?<\/p>\n<p>THE ANSWER IS THAT UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND SOMETHING OF YOURSELF \u2013 <u>NOTHING!\u00a0 <\/u>You then simply get to go for a ride \u2013 you don\u2019t necessarily control anything.<\/p>\n<p>In complex thought \/ feelings processes there are also interaction with other such clusters as I am trying to explain \u2013 sometimes in harmony and often in disharmony, to the point of profound internal conflict and confusion.\u00a0 So you can have this thought cluster feeling (some of it conscious, some of it pre-conscious, some of it subconscious) and that thought cluster feeling (some of it conscious, some of it pre-conscious, some of it subconscious) and they might be in total disagreement with each other.\u00a0 Now you don\u2019t know what is going on.\u00a0 These are the conditions, in extreme form, of bipolar. \u00a0But for most people it just causes confusion.<\/p>\n<p>Psychologists call this cognitive dissonance, but they are identifying with though matter.\u00a0 There is an emotional component present and it can be an underlying, deeper than emotion, vibrational dissonance between two aspects of Self.\u00a0 The clearest example of such would be people who have asymmetrical formations \u2013 especially in their face (which may sound utterly weird to you).\u00a0 When you look at a face, you will see that, if you split the face down the middle and look at the two halves separately, you will see that it features two different aspects of that being.\u00a0 The greater the symmetry between the different aspects of the face, the greater the integration in the Soul in this incarnation.\u00a0 So the \u201cbones\u201d of you reflects the depth of you and the more superficial aspects reflect your life experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Like icebergs, thoughts and feelings are only partly apparent in normal consciousness, with the majority of their internal components being \u201cunder water\u201d and therefor unseen in the pre-conscious and subconscious realms.<\/p>\n<p>So you cannot leave those dark issues and experiences \u2013 you will never own yourself completely until you have shone the light thereon (find them, acknowledge them and bring it into the Light).\u00a0 Though it is difficult, you will be much empowered in the process\u2026\u2026.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Personal remark: \u00a0Little wonder most every Sacred Text instructs: &#8220;Know Thyself&#8221;. \u00a0May I add that the Inward Journey, albeit a somewhat difficult journey that requires much courage, is a wonderfully rewarding, empowering and utterly liberating journey. \u00a0And once on it, you are not going to want to turn back \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve had a number of lovely comments &amp;
