Working with the subconscious is an essential part of spiritual awakening.
A lot of the thoughts, emotions, and conditioned behaviors that we experience on the surface of our lives have their root in the subconscious. If we look deeper into what we experience, we can often find that the experiences are caused by something deeper.
By working with the subconscious, we can free ourselves from deeply ingrained behavioral patterns and ways of thinking and feeling that are part of the ego and don’t serve us.
IF WE FIND THE CAUSE, WE DON’T HAVE TO WORK ON THE SYMPTOMS
Our conditioned thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are often symptoms of what’s underneath them in the subconscious. They are caused by something deeper.
And if we find and heal the cause of our problematic behaviors, we can free ourselves – even without working directly on the behaviors. Because when we remove their cause, the behaviors have nothing to cling to inside us, so they fall away almost automatically.
That’s why going deeper is essential if we want to be free.
Many people try to fix themselves by focusing on changing their surface behaviors.They may work on changing a problematic behavior (for example, pushing others away), but no matter how hard they try, they keep returning to the same old ways of acting.
Other times, they succeed in changing the behavior, but soon,a similar problem appears in another area of their lives.
That’s because the cause is still there.
They may have changed things on the surface, but if they haven’t dealt with the deeper reason why they think, feel, and act in certain ways, the reason for what they are experiencing is still there.
One deeper cause can also be behind a whole cluster of surface behaviors. So, imagine what would happen if you removed that one deeper reason. A whole group of patterns would fall away immediately, and you would have freed up a lot of energy to use in other areas of your life.
It is not a quick fix. Going into the subconscious is deep work. But it can save us time and energy in the long run. When we have faced and healed the deeper causes, we are free. They don’t return, and they don’t reappear in other areas of our lives.
