Rule No 6 _ Become more reflective and less observant
Dear Readers
We have come to rule No 6 on our journey to self discovery, "become more reflective and less observant" , if you think about it we form thoughts, behaviors, choices and actions over being observant of what we see around us, which is normal, but if you want to see another layer of your true self you need to become more reflective of your inner being rather than focusing on what's happening around you.
Most say I know myself fairly well, but do you really know yourself? Let me put it this way, if you know yourself well, then you would stay away from anything that causes you hurt, you would also be living in a way where you don't hurt others, you would have the "to hurt another is to hurt oneself" effect because you would be sure of yourself and you also understand that we all are connected in some way you would also be living in the ultimate best version of YOU! Yet the opposite happens with us, and since we don't have the power to change it we still have power to change ourselves and how we handle these situations we find ourselves in.
Time to put on our thinking hats and go deeper: what is inward is a universe waiting to be explored, when you take your focus off others and go inward and question your own mind you open up a new state of consciousness, what is consciousness? In simple terms it is your AWARENESS of everything, how you think and react to situations defines the levels of consciousness your living in, when you change your thinking you begin to elevate in levels of consciousness. Let's start with the most basic levels of consciousness because this creates the foundations for other levels to develop.
1. Conscious
This one is immediate awareness of everything basically taking it at face value
2. Sub-conscious
This one is your own personal hardrive which stores all that you've experienced and felt throughout your life, it's where you dream too
3.Unconscious
This one drives you it's your primitive/instinctual side, it is a deep form of consciousness because it holds all our energy, think of the unconscious as the heart of it all
Majority is living in level 1 and not bothered to tap into number 2 which will open the doors to number 3. When you elevate these levels of consciousness in your mind you get to see a transformation in yourself that makes you see the world with new eyes. It's what you need to progress in developing yourself because you can't build the new without shredding the old! If you're ever changing when getting to know you don't stress "we're supposed to"๐ช.
This is part one of rule No 6, in my next post i will explain the trip inward, so take some time to reflect on what your all about and whether you've been living in autopilot, put in the effort give your mind a workout because our minds need just as much care and attention as our body, it is our driving force, when you understand the most basic levels of consciousness and become more aware of them the other levels will automatically elevate.
