Making the unconscious conscious is the key to achieving liberation from old patterns, because as long as something is beneath the level of consciousness, we are at its mercy. Once make it conscious and we can reprogram it closer to heart’s desire.
Our ILC group yesterday did a drumming on the question, “How can we make the unconscious conscious?” Here’s what i got:
Intend. It is just that simple a first step.
Then, notice. Your life will tell you what is up at bat because something external will be a problem or an opportunity.
Then, dare. If it’s scary, take that as a sign that it’s important. Trust that you won’t be led into deeper waters than you can navigate.
Finally, integrate. Work the new insights; enjoy (or even suffer) the new realizations as they manifest as greater freedom of action.
Intend, notice, dare, integrate. Rinse, repeat until you need to glide for a while, and don’t think you are on a schedule. Nothing wrong with resting once in a while.
