This
is the first of a seven- part series of articles leading
to the final article, which discusses "How Hypnotherapy
Heals". The seven articles are:
1.
The Superconscious Mind
2. The Conscious Mind
3. Nature of the Subconscious Mind
4. Conditioning The Subconscious Mind
5. How The Subconscious Mind Functions
6. The Eastern Disease Model
7. How Hypnotherapy Heals
To understand how Hypnotherapy works to heal, it is
important to understand how your Mind works. We really
have three very separate and distinct minds. Three Selves
that do different things. These are:
1.
The Super Conscious Mind (High Self)
2. The Conscious Mind (Middle Self)
3. The Subconscious Mind (Low Self or Inner Self)
which has, as a part of it, the Unconscious Mind

The Super Conscious Mind (High Self)
The High Self is the most
intelligent and most elegant Self of your three Selves.
It can be called your Super Conscious, your super natural
Self or the deepest consciousness level of your being.
High Self is totally aware of both the Conscious and
Subconscious Selves. Its purpose is assisting the other
two Selves to grow and develop on the path from ignorance
to wisdom through experience.
High Self is neither male
nor female, but unites the masculine and feminine within
us into one great power. It acts as parent, but in such
a wise way it's hard to understand how it functions.
It never interferes unless it is truly needed and asked.
It can only be accessed through our Subconscious Self.
The Conscious Mind cannot directly contact the High
Self.
The High Self has Meta
needs. These are the needs that go beyond physical personal
and social needs. Meta needs include the need for Truth,
Being, Justice, Wisdom and Humor. When these needs are
satisfied, we are able to perceive a higher justice
than social justice, a wisdom that goes beyond knowledge
and a love that moves from conditional to unconditional
caring.
High Self is the source
within us from which love flows. Love is a spiritual
force and is the most powerful force there is. It is
the force that springs from our connection to Infinite
Love, the source of our existence. Love is the force
that heals, but it cannot be directly accessed consciously
-- it must be accessed through the Subconscious Self.
A healthy body with a healthy ego is well equipped to
serve the High Self by seeking satisfactions for its
Meta needs. As your High Self's needs are met, you will
be the beneficiary. Your Subconscious Self is the Channel
through which you communicate and give to your High
Self. The Subconscious self is also the channel through
which you receive from your High Self. Without your
Subconscious Self as intermediary, you cannot work closely
or benefit from the forces of the High Self.
To our High Selves, we
are perfect just the way we are. The Conscious Mind
can begin to emulate the High Self by developing an
unconditional love for its own Subconscious Self by
assuring it that it is perfect, acceptable, global and
admirable in the view of the Conscious Mind.
The High Self is as different
from you, as your rational intuitive Mind is from the
elemental consciousness of your Subconscious Self. We
can best understand the High Self by thinking about
its divine qualities of total acceptance and unconditional
love, it's powerful will and it's great wisdom
All High Selves work with
"harm to non-, service to many" as their prime
commandment. The symbol of a High Self is wings. In
nearly every culture, some symbol is used to depict
the High Self with wings. In Mexico we find the winged
serpent, in Christianity we find winged Angels, in the
Tarot deck the High Self is a face with wings. This
is an archetype symbol that has influenced mankind throughout
history all over the Globe. While Mother Nature rules
the Subconscious Self and the Conscious Self is ruled
by the upper world of living beings (society, culture),
High Self is ruled by Hermes, God of wisdom
The Super Conscious Mind
or High Self is part of the Soul. This allows it to
access and be a part of the Universal Consciousness
or Cosmic Intelligence spoken of by Carl Jung. This
access is what makes it possible for all of us to tap
into infinite knowledge and provides us with our psychic
insights. It is our connection to the infinite and is
the part of us that is divine. It is we in our most
rapturous raiment, our most sublime expression of being.
It is this Self that unites us with every other living
creature and makes us a member of the brotherhood of
men.
