The Metaphor of a Locked Door
The Door Opens to Freedom
I woke up to these words, “Something always leads to something else, ALWAYS,” a little after 3:00 a.m. this morning.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, I had a clear image of the door, and the thought was that I can’t get to something else until I get through the door.
The door is made of heavy steel and the lock is a thick deadbolt. Knowing this, hopefully, makes us ready to look for alternatives rather than breaking down the door!
The answer really isn’t all that difficult, just ask for the key! Whom do we ask? The challenge is that the conscious parts of our individual minds have been conditioned to “breaking through” closed doors, breaking them down by working harder.
The key to this door is the ANSWER to the question, “What else is possible?” We’ve been told that the subconscious part of the mind is the doorkeeper, who won’t readily give up the key and we have to learn to bypass it by hook or crook.
We’ve been sold on all sorts of programs such as self-hypnosis, subliminal tapes, brainwave entrainment, making declarations and decrees, goal-setting, etc. These all work to a degree and for some people, but wait a minute; this particular door is still locked.
What if it is the conscious part of the individual mind that is the door, locked with skepticism, doubt, judgment and people telling it that it is impossible to open the door without breaking it down and the answer is to try harder?
In other words, what if thinking (and that is what the conscious part of the mind does) is the door?
What, again, is the key? The ANSWER to the question:
“What else is possible?”
Here is an alternative plan that may work wonders: Simply ask the part of the mind that WANTS to give you the answer to the question – in other words, which/who will, HAND YOU THE KEY!
What if the part of the mind which holds the key isn’t the subconscious or unconscious, but is the part of the individual mind which is connected to the Universal Mind? We call that part of the mind the superconscious part.
The superconscious part isn’t there to keep you from anything, so trying to trick it or bypass it to get the key, when it already WANTS TO COOPERATE WITH YOU is, at the very least, counter-productive and at the worst is destructive!
Here’s the alternative plan: We call it using the fully Integrated Mind with each part working cooperatively with the others, and the conscious part, humbly realizing it is the least powerful and which needs to intentionally place the reins of leadership into the almost limitless superconscious part of the mind, which is connected 24/7 with the MIND that is unlimited and voilà! The Integration of the Mind. . .
The next challenge is once the key is inserted and the door opened, a number of possibilities will be given to the conscious part of the mind to pursue. What now? Which among the many do we choose? www.youwithoutlimits.life
