Most people have no idea that Dr. Carl G. Jung, the founder of Analytical Psychology, based his 3 levels of consciousness on planetary dynamics. It's true! His conscious, unconscious & collective unconscious are now common knowledge, but he may have allowed their astrological roots to be an open secret to avoid the academic ridicule of astrology that persists to this day. .. So most Jungian analysts have little to no knowledge of astrology and take weeks, months or years to gain insights they could gain in an hour by analyzing a client's birth chart. So Dr. Jung's dream of a psychological [r]evolution is not yet fully realized. But even incomplete, Jung's theory of consciousness guides and enlightens us. We now know the mind is like the ocean, with unfathomable depths to deeply contemplate or just dip in a toe. And though most sail through life without a map, we're all free to calculate & utilize one, without academic approval. And consciousness is where the voyage begins. Dr. Jung identified the 3 levels of consciousness as conscious, unconscious & collective unconscious, but most of us now know the middle level as the subconscious, so for simplicity & brevity [and with presumptuous abandon] I'll use conscious, subconscious & unconscious - full clarity with fewer syllables. THE CONSCIOUS MIND: sun ~ moon ~ mercury ~ venus ~ mars Your heart is your sun; it houses your spirit and shepherds your mind and your conscious mind is the surface story of everything. Your thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears, desires, dreams, the actions you take, the challenges you face and your interactions and relationships with others through life. But incredibly, less than 10% of the human mind is conscious, so who's steering the ship? It's no wonder most of us don't [manifest] the lives we dream about. What is possible as we become more conscious? THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND: jupiter ~ saturn The subconscious mind records and stores, without analysis or judgment, everything you've experienced from birth. In the first 7 years you're like a sponge, absorbing events and forming your essential perceptions of life. And though much is consciously forgotten, supercharged experiences form reactive pathways you're compelled to traverse whenever similar emotions arise, for better or worse, that become patterns of behavior over time. Astrologer Sloan Bella puts it this way: "Release your childhood trauma or you'll marry it." Your body is regulated by your subconscious and retains your emotions and the most painful create dis-ease. Diffuse unwanted energies held in your body & mind to shift out of survival mode and heal and your past won't limit your future. Center yourself in what quantum trailblazer Dr. Joe Dispenza calls 'the generous present moment', where all good things are possible. It's science and it may not be easy, but it is simple. THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND: uranus ~ neptune ~ pluto The unconscious mind is Purpose with a Capital P. It's the still inner voice that sees and knows ALL and its divine objective is creative growth. It observes with unwavering wisdom and when unheard or unheeded by your conscious mind it still works its heavenly magic, often disguised as painful experience. And as you become more conscious you have less use for the jagged path of hard-won clarity; you hear & heed your inner voice and know the right actions to take and make your dreams reality. Your unconscious is aligned with the Creator & guided by your eternal spirit. "The soul of the newly born baby is marked for life by the pattern of the stars at the moment it comes into the world." ~ Johannes Kepler, Harmonics Mundi With your first breath your soul is imprinted with the celestial frequency pattern of that moment in time, your electromagnetic DNA. Breath ~ prana ~ qi anchors your eternal spirit in this time & space. A brief digression So proper breathing is key to feeling fully here and meditation can work miracles. GOM is the ancient Tibetan word for meditation and means 'to become familiar with'. The same wisdom is carved at the Temple of Apollo: 'Know Thyself and thou shalt know the Universe and the Gods'. So do that and become truly supernatural. Good to know; from Dr. Joe... The Role of Brainwaves in Meditation illustration courtesy of Quora your pineal gland- Super-natural
