Revisiting guilt, shame, and fear

No. I simply mean comprehend how vast it is. How many things is it doing that you aren't aware of? Every little bit of body language, every little thought, every bodily function that is automated, and on and on.

Realize how vast it is compared to you (the consciousness) and try to trust that it knows what it's doing.

Ride it like a wave, instead of trying to move it like a mountain.

Hope that makes sense.

Sometimes it's hard to accept, but we (as a consciousness) are very small. It is my belief that the entire point of consciousness is to simply be a witness to the infinite power of our subconscious minds.

We set a course, but in the end, we're just along for the ride.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. That's actually what I've been trying to internalize these past few days. Just going with it, essentially letting go of that resistance and to stop trying to control so much. I think when I was growing up I had a tendency to try to overpower my subconscious with my conscious mind and the habit has kind of stuck. So now I have to unlearn that behavior because it only served as a band aid solution.
