Id, Restricted and Sublime
According to Freud, we are born with our Id, an important part of our subconscious and of our personality because as newborns, it allows us to get our basic needs met. Freud believed that the id is based on our pleasure principle. But, the subconscious goes beyond Freud's structural model of mind, depicted on the right.
Paracelsus and Carl Jung among many, including Franz Mesmer, understood the existence of our higher self - the extended subconscious.
Others speak of the emotional subconscious
There are untold treasures within easy reach, as Rod Ensor told in "The Kids"
"Baal HaSulam... It means: owner of the ladder. Someone... I won’t trouble you with Hebrew names –a Rabbi– once said that ‘to reach the goods in your attic all you need is a ladder, and then all the bounty destined for you will come to your hands’.
“People have conjectured and have made fortunes over the magical properties of the Rabbi’s ladder. But there’s no secret or magic to it. It’s simply the power of asking. Ask, ask, my friend, and you shall receive. It works.”
Another Rabbi named Jesus also spoke metaphorically of riches, "kingdoms" and the powers of love for one another and for what binds us; he called it God, the father. One can explain it in other terms: the power of our subconscious mind. That's right; our own subconscious mind that opens the access to infinite possibilities, therefore, we choose to call it: The Infinite Mind because our subconscious can go anywhere, turn us into whoever we really wish to be, or get us anything we ask.
You will never see yourself or your world —other people, things and events— quite the same way. You will continue to be the same person, only an improved version of the old you. And, if you are going for change, why not change for the best?
We are like the iceberg. The word "berg" means mountain. You and I are the mountain, floating in an infinite sea —the universe. The part of you that you are most familiar with is the portion above the surface, the tip of the iceberg —your conscious mind— it is the part of you that may choose to ask —or not— its up to you. You better ask, because below the surface, that hidden part of you is powerful. So powerful that it can get you anything your conscious mind asks.
Anything!
Is there a catch? Yes there is. The process is not free. It requires courage to rid ourselves of preconceived notions and limiting beliefs and negative associations; it is tough, I tell you by personal experience. It also takes much discipline to learn a new way of looking at yourself and at your world. And you will have to wrestle with the strongest force within your conscious mind and body. The force is called homeostasis —the resistance to change. If you can overcome it (it won't be easy), you will never see yourself or your world –other people, things and events— quite the same way. You will continue to be the same person, only an improved, richer version of your old self. Why not give it a try to change for the best? Believe it; you can fix your nervous system.
