2010.03.06 - The Conscious/Unconscious

[Plenum]

We would begin with the concept of the unconscious. From our point of view, the ground from which each entity’s unconscious sprang is what we have in the past called the archetypal or archetypical mind. This mind has geography, topography and a system of watersheds which consist of the various kinds of emotions, so-called, both positive and negative. When entities experience emotions from day to day, it seems as though they are coming from the outside in; from their experiences through their ears or eyes or whatever is causing the emotion to spring forth. However, it would be our observation that those emotions are coming from a ground of being common to all, to which each seeker is connected in a unique way.

this is a good clarification; as this is mentioned in the Ra material re: the geometry and geography of the mind etc etc. I have always understood this to be the Archetypal Mind with it's 3 ladders of 7's, but it's nice to have confirmation.

Each entity moving into incarnation has one or more of these pivotal themes that recur. It is always very helpful for a seeker to gather intelligence upon what particular lessons your particular incarnation is offering you at an incarnational level. It is a great help to analyze the patterns of your incarnation until you see where the challenge lies, so that when it occurs you have a familiarity and a comfort with the fact that this question has arisen once again for you. There is no urgency about finding a particular solution. There is only the urgency of becoming conscious within the incarnational process of learning.

this is also something I 'discovered' recently. Namely that the experiences that one has are primary and key for the lessons that they hold, and not for themselves. For eg, one way of interpretating a failed marriage is to assign blame and guilt and regret; yet what is learnt and gained from the experience is harvested into the energy centers as an unblocking. The end result, not the regret, is the driver for the experience between these two such hypothetical individuals.

This instrument, for instance, has found that that gift of singing and performance which, early in her incarnation, she thought was definitely her path of service, dried up and became unviable. And yet she has found, through analyzing the patterns of service since that time, that there are many ways to sing; there are many ways to use the gifts of performance; there are many ways to use a sensitivity to harmonics that have nothing to do with singing.

I can only say ditto to this! I've had many false starts, in multiple fields, and called myself a dilettante when younger. And yet, at this nexus in time, I can look back and draw upon all these threads of experience and weave it into a broader conception of humanity. And these partially gained skills (like Carla's affinity for singing) have found side applications. Nothing ever wasted.

And so it happens that consciousness is a many-splendored thing, deep and dark in many of its sources. We have suggested to you that these sources can be regarded as multiple because, in fact, they have a dimensional structure. What we mean by this is that any given experience is a reflection of multiple sources or multiple inputs which are carefully admitted into the energy body as a result of a process of long refinement and tuning of that energy body so as to focus the ingatherings of energy, discriminations which can be quite complex in nature. You will find that careful study of even the simplest emotions can reveal facets and nuances which are very finely articulated.

the Higher Self is described as a being rich in subtlety of emotion.
