Notes on Earthian playtime - Mind Layer
= mental layer
CONSCIOUS vs. UNCONSCIOUS vs. EGO
They work together, but they can also over-write and cancel out each other. Conscious & unconscious are more about the „how“, ego is a personality in itself.
THE
UNCONSCIOUS
The unconscious mind …
… is it just an autopilot?
No it is a narrowly con. nected part to your non-incarnated self / the enlarged mental mind.
what we call unconscious from our perspective is actually the connection to what we would call higher „consciousness“
It functions on non-mental elements. It will be triggered for example by emotions, by instant knowing and it is also your basic coding, that comes with your avatar.
It is also the part, that allows the signals for automatic functioning in the body (breathe, move, walk …)
So there is a managing function, but also a preserving function. A function to preserve the game, as it was intended (not only in surviving, but in experience the thing you are meant to experience).
Preserving in real-life like for example making sure that you are not stopped by some incident (take a bigger step in order to not hurt your toe). And also preserving in a non-physical way like feed you with certain thoughts or guidance that will be linked to your bigger self. So that you take something into consideration while you are planning something, for example. But this applies only, if it doesn’t interfere with your free will.
From your point of view (human pov), the unconscious mental layer happens „automatically“.
THE CONSCIOUS
The conscious mind is the one that the avatar self is fully aware of and fully in control of somehow.
It’s actually nourished by its own experience and knowledge as an avatar. Therefore it evolves over the lifetime.
The own digestion and integration of information, the own translation of everything the avatar experienced in its lifetime.
Example: One grown up avatar would choose to avoid a „Gatschlake“, a puddle of mud. It would anticipate by the data of its conscious mind that it would get wet, dirty, uncomfortable and probably not getting out of the situation so quickly.
One child avatar would choose to jump into the same „Gatschlake“ because it would anticipate by the data of its intuition, that it is fun, it will splash, it will be enjoyable, it will create a new experiment. Because as a child, you don’t have much avatar experience - you have in fact more non-avatar mind and intuition to draw from.
The more playing the game, the more experiencing and also the more the witnessing others add up to this spectrum, this conscious 100% game-based aspect of your mental layer.
THE EGO
The ego is coded for survival - in terms of every layer.
It wants protection of the avatar at all time, in order to continue the game.
It needs to make you safe and comfortable all times. Mentally, emotionally and physically comfortable.
The protective mode may be so loud, that it protects you even from growing. Making experiments is a risk. The ego wants you to stay in the known, because it considers it as being safe, because it knows the consequences.
Sometimes it needs a little hand from intuition and conscious mind to make sure that the risk is worth taking.
CONSCIOUS & UNCONSCIOUS & EGO
a three-way conversation
The mental layer is training to balance them and to play it the best way it can for your playtime.
And as we know now, it is almost completely built within this game, but also has a part of itself that is linked to the non-avatar (player).
Plus: Don’t use the term „killing your ego“ - you need it. You just have to learn how to not let its protective mission restrict the game for you.
It can be an issue for an adult avatar, that because they’ve been so conditioned by their own game and environment, that they are dimming maybe the connection to higher self, instead of dimming the ego part of the mental layer.
Knowing the subcategories within the mental layer helps, because otherwise you may simply label it as mental confusion. It may become so loud, that you are paralyzed and you’ll probably surrender the power to the environment or other avatars to decide for you.
A three-way conversation or a battle?
A tip on how to navigate mental blurriness
First notice, which options you got within your conscious mind and in collaboration with your ego.
Then try to center yourself and ask yourself consciously, which emotions are connected to each of those doors / options. Go down the rabbit hole aka, consider those options individually and feel them on the emotional level. The emotions might be varying from joyfully to being scared. Then you’ve analyzed everything.
Now as a third step, ask yourself intuitively: what do I want to experience more? Take the first thing that comes to your mind, or the first emotion or the first knowing, even if it does not make sense, because it scares you.
You can also choose to be passive, but know, that either way, it’s you that is responsible for the consequences.
A note on asking for help
You can ask your higher self within the game for help (actually you have to - it cannot interfere without the request).
But it’s not going to fall into your lap - since we are playing in a material game you will have to start with one tangible action, no matter how small. You have to put it out there as a concrete manner, it may be very simple, but you have to acknowledge, that you at least have to start it physically. E.g. spreading the word.
