They say the subconscious mind is more powerful than the conscious. Usually, people are more influenced by their innate subconscious desires or intent than a rational and planned decision. This aspect of human nature is heavily influenced by your daily activity.

How Corporations Influence Your Subconscious

In Western society, the subconscious mind of the individual is often subject to a number of heavy influences, through entertainment media especially. Television, movies, and music create a profound subconscious effect on the human mind that influences and dictates the choices that they will make to at least some degree.

If you see a certain car advertisement, whether or not you rationally decide your stance on it, you are being pre-programmed to at least accept or acknowledge any claims made by the advertisement itself. Likewise, the choice of television shows and dramatic elemen...

It feels like Terrence McKenna is becoming more popular with the internet age than he was while he was alive! In this audio, McKenna talks about the ego, a mass cultural and social hallucination, and how psychedelics dissolve the boundaries that our egos set up.

Here’s the full transcript if you don’t want to watch the video:

Transcript:

The ego is a late arriving, very tenuous, highly uncertain of itself, social structure, that has taken root in the human psyche like a tumor, like a growth of some sort. It is the leftover of this primate dominance complex and the way it manifests itself is by the establishment of boundaries.First of all, this is my body, do not touch it. Second of all, these are my weapons and agricultural tools, do not touch them, this is my woman, these are my children, I hunt there, so forth and so on. It’s this division of the world which allows the illusion of the ego to come into existence. Now, what do psychedelics do and why are they such social dynamite?

The answer is,...

Dear one, there will never be an understanding of your Light until you dance with your Darkness.  Running away from it will always bring a hot pursuit, one that you will never outrun.  Turning and facing it head on, learning to accept and love it as a part of yourself is the only way.  This does not mean letting it control you……it does mean an acknowledgement of its existence. ~ Creator

BALANCE POINT Today we will look at the process of death, not in a physical sense, but on the etheric, energetic level relating to the release of belief codes and old habits. The death we speak of is the releasing of what is unwanted after observing or experiencing either end of any polarity issue.

What is it you wish to lay to rest, to release? What is not working for you? What habits keep you from living the life you now only dream of? What behaviors keep you locked into patterns of distrust, unhappiness and unfulfillment? What fears hinder you from being loving and kind?

Take time each day to look at these issues. Be honest with yourself and dream big. Step by step, start releasing the old habits that no longer serve you. This may include finding new friends who are supportive of your ideal life. This may involve finding a new career or changing an attitude you have in your daily job with your work associates.

Uncover belief codes that do not feel right. Have the courage to face your fears. By walking through the veil of fear, you enter the Death Gate. This is not a physical death, although for many it may feel that way. The Death Gate is a space where humans go to be purified upon releasement of each and every layer of negative thoughtforms. It is where you go to be showered with love and support from the Other Side.

If you have skill in details, that is wonderful. If you don’t have skill in details, you have skill in something else. Skilled or unskilled, this is wonderful. You do not have to be everything to everyone, certainly not to yourself do you have to have every talent in the world. It’s okay when you have your mind on other things than what the majority might want you to uphold.
 
So what if you are a square peg in a round hole? So what if you see differently from everyone else in the world? Do you really want to be like everyone else? What is everyone else like anyway?
 
Beloveds, where does your happiness lie? Does it lie in conforming to another’s picture of you? What can give fulfillment to your heart, your beautiful blessed heart? Your heart is in your hands, and not in someone else’s. How much awareness of what is in your heart do you allow yourself?
 
To be sure, you don’t want to be only self-centered, yet you do have a self that deserves happiness.
 
Once upon a time, My beloved children may not have had all the choices that are open to you now. You live in this time and place in the world, and not in another time and place. While there is nothing new under the sun, nevertheless, you are new under this sun. If you live in Alaska or in a desert region, there are different requirements for you. Be true to yourself. Be true to the sky above you that goes beyond time and place. Every day you are new.
 

Here are ten important lessons that will assist you through any challenge in your life:

1. Life is not always how you plan it, no matter how much you force or try to control it.

2. Change is inevitable, so you might as well welcome and embrace it.

3. Letting go is the scariest and most liberating thing you can do for yourself. It’s a gift in disguise.

4. It’s totally OK to be by yourself, alone; because sometimes, growth is a solo journey.

5. Learning to be more flexible affords you the ability to adapt. By adapting, you become more understanding, compassionate, and patient, especially when things get a little tough.

6. Clinging to the conviction of certain ideals and thoughts can sometimes destroy you. Once in a while, it’s best to bend the rul...
