A Prime Example of the Trap
of…The Unconscious Part of the Mind
If you just look for the glitter you may miss the point…
As soon as you repeat the following you’re trapped: “All that glitters is not gold.” Why is merely repeating this “wise old saying” a trap? Answer: Because gold is one standard of measurement of wealth of the world and King Midas stories abound which indicate that gold is a foolish measurement from any number of points of view. By repeating this old saw, you’ve activated the unconscious part of the mind to “lock onto” (like a heat-seeking missile) a false target.
To give us another perspective, we remember the old proverb, “What profit is there to a man who gains the whole world and yet loses his soul?”
Depending upon what the unconscious part of the mind locks onto with this 2nd bit of wisdom, we have yet another ridiculous standard.
Some say setting goals is the path to success…Brad says, there is a better way.
I mean, which shall it be, brothers and sisters, gold or your soul? Depending upon our individual religious and anti-religious (two sides of the same gold coin) programming, either can have us in a trap.
Yet another unconscious-part-of-the-mind-trap is goal-setting. Wow, this is fun! …in just a few paragraphs I’ve taken on three very sacred cows; gold, soul and goals. Here is a question that will clearly show the trap of setting goals: “Where do you want to be in one year, two years and five years?” This one activates another mental trap – the conscious part of the mind.
Conventional wisdom tells us if we are to have an effective business plan, for example, setting these time-based goals is essential.
We can easily dispense with this bit of “wisdom” if we want to look at it from one point of view of what it means to be living in the present or “NOW.”
Living in a “practical” sense, (another term which keeps us in the same unconscious mind trap) dictates that we do a little fence-straddling here. In other words, gold, soul and goals all have their place, balance is what we need, correct?
Isn’t balance like; accepting to less than perfect choices.
Instead of “balance,” in any traditional sense, how about a whole new view of ourselves by tapping into the wisdom available NOW that two of the three other-than-conscious parts and the conscious part of the mind are simply incapable of doing except in tandem with what we call the superconscious part of the mind?
