Is God the subconscious? in Spirituality ·
The order of operations, as far as my understanding goes:

1. Accept that the issue lies within us.
2. Dig deep into our own psyche to pinpoint the root cause.
3. Confront that cause head-on. This isn't about just layering new commands over old ones—that's a fool's errand. It’s about conscious action designed to challenge the core logic until that entire outdated algorithm simply ceases to make sense to itself.

Or am I just kidding myself?

I'm feeling quite alright today. Just one of those days where everything feels... balanced? I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's a certain rhythm to things lately. It’s like when you finally get that one stubborn screw in a piece of IKEA furniture to catch the thread—suddenly, the whole thing just holds together. Anyway, hope everyone is having a good one. kaže:
🙂 ...

Alright, let me try to give you a quick rundown of who I am.
First off, just to clear things up—that picture isn't my avatar. That’s actually me. 😂 Pretty sharp, huh?

I have to admit, I don't really know you, but honestly? It doesn't even matter.
The core idea behind the monotheist belief system is pretty straightforward: throughout history, certain individuals have experienced varying degrees of closeness with Unity. They weren't just keeping these visions to themselves, either. No, they felt a deep-seated need to reach out and share those insights with the rest of us.
When we attempt to pin down the indescribable using nothing but words, metaphors are born. It’s a necessary workaround. But there’s a catch: once people grasp those metaphors firsthand, they tend to ossify them into rigid dogmas, treating the symbol as if it were the actual truth itself. I’ve always felt that the older a religion gets, the further it drifts from the core truth. Personally, I see my own faith at the very foundation of all Abrahamic religions—and I suspect Eastern traditions are built upon that same bedrock. The issue isn't the foundation, though; it's the human character. We have this relentless urge to attach our own little attributes to things, constantly trying to rationalize what is fundamentally beyond comprehension. This constant need to explain the unexplainable is exactly how we end up with endless sects, conflicting schools of thought, and endless theological bickering. It reminds me of the Tower of Babel story. Our egos became so inflated that even when we were discussing the exact same concepts, we ended up speaking entirely different languages. We closed our hearts off and lost the ability to truly understand one another. It was a self-imposed isolation. That’s why I feel compelled to weigh in on the dogma of the Trinity.
Everything alive—and honestly, probably everything that isn't—is permeated by Unity. It all flows from that one Source. You can't have life popping up out of nowhere without it being an extension of that Unity. And look, Unity isn't "good" or "evil." It just is. It simply exists. I mean, is there really any better way to put it than that? I'm here. Ready when you are. Just me. I am..
I am who I am, you are who you are, and we are all one. Honestly, none of us are ever going to truly find peace as long as we're ignoring the struggles of our neighbors. It’s simple math. Everything that stems from the concept of unity unity will eventually circle back to its source—but there's a catch. It won't return until it’s been purified. And let's be real, that process might take an eternity.
The truth is, the filth isn't out there—it’s right here, buried deep inside us. Every single one of us carries our own little collection of deceits and impurities, those messy parts of ourselves we try so desperately to ignore. We spend our entire lives running from the work, struggling to scrub away the grime of our own making instead of just facing it.
Pure love is the only thing that actually pulls us closer to Unity, Unity. Everything else? It just weighs you down. Even that possessive kind of love—that desperate urge to "own" someone—is nothing more than baggage.

So, here’s the gist of what I believe.

If you honestly believe my knowledge is just some byproduct of sitting in a classroom, you’re dead wrong. It isn't. My understanding comes from a relentless pursuit of truth—actually listening to people, weighing every perspective, and having the backbone to back up an opinion only when the logic holds water.
If you’re under the impression that spirituality is some impenetrable mystery beyond human comprehension, you’re dead wrong. Honestly, most of what people obsess over is completely irrelevant. We spend all our mental energy sweating the small stuff—who said what to whom, who’s holding a grudge, where everything is located—it's all just noise. It's clutter. It occupies the mind and keeps us from seeing the bigger picture.
Just be. Look at the heart of things and stop sweating the small stuff. Honestly, if you refuse to let it get to you, it loses its power over you entirely.
They say rules of conduct are meant for ordinary people, but honestly? If you truly love someone, you don't need a handbook. The laws aren't something you follow—they're already written inside you.

vividrider472 said:Just one more little thing—beliefs can actually be pulled out and swapped for their opposites using energetic shifts, almost like "adjustments" within your energy field. But honestly, it’s usually just temporary—if you don't truly bring things into awareness and integrate them, that old programming is eventually going to crawl right back in.

Oh, I forgot to mention—it’s actually quite helpful, at least at first, to practice some form of thought control while you're working toward that baseline mental peace through deeper changes. Otherwise, the mind just keeps babbling away, constantly reinforcing all those harmful patterns. That includes cutting out negative phrasing entirely, since the subconscious (more often than not) tends to get tripped up by negations. Like, if you say, "I don't want to be broke," you're actually just broadcasting a program for the exact opposite.

Thanks,😍 and sorry if I took up too much of your time.
I’m absolutely interested in reading more about this, too.

mistygull16 said:The subconscious isn't some fourth dimension or whatever... it's more like the barrier finally breaking down between those three layers of consciousness we already have.

Forgive me, but I’m talking about a single unified consciousness here. To me, the subconscious and the unconscious are just different sides of the same coin—my own awareness. Superconsciousness, on the other hand, feels more like a flash of pure, luminous insight...

.......................

"3" = 1
1 : 3 = 1
1 = "3"

"Three" = The Whole
One divided by three = An apparent Trinity, a "split" Wholeness
One = A Wholeness that just looks like three...

Don't take this the wrong way—I have to comment, and I mean no harm.
Why is it that whenever we encounter an omnipresent Trinity, we try to explain it in a way that makes us forget everything we actually knew? Our mathematical logic simply doesn't square with that statement. Honestly, trying to make sense of claims like these is enough to drive a person mad. You’re offering me an obvious falsehood as a definition for everything, but by that very definition, everything becomes a lie and truth ceases to exist.

From a Catholic standpoint—where any claim lacking a biblical foundation is considered occultism—this kind of assertion falls right into that category. It’s pulling its roots from Greek philosophical thought rather than scripture.

I don't truly know Brahma, Vishnu, or Shiva, so a deeper commentary on them would be pointless.

However, I do like this part: The Observer, the Act of Observation, and the object being observed.
There’s a certain point here regarding the mechanics of sight that allows us to perceive an object. You’ve reduced the entire process down to two objects and one action, but in reality, what you see depends on so much more. For instance, the color of the light hitting the object... or if it's pitch black, there is no observation at all. You could stare until you're blue in the face and see absolutely nothing.

And if one God truly has multiple faces, then surely there aren't just three, but an infinite number (from a human perspective, anyway).

If we look at a 2D triangle, it comes out as the most perfect structural shape, and we can fit it inside a circle.
Now, try imagining a 3D object with only three flat sides and attempt to fit it inside a sphere. For example, a tetrahedron has four sides, which is the absolute minimum. Now, maybe that's a bit of a tangent, but I'm just applying math to our points of view and our capacity for perception... 🤷

Benjamin Taylor6 said:I wasn't aware there were quite this many different terms either. The reality is that we tend to find the superconscious much more fascinating than the subconscious. It’s because the superconscious acts as a "repository" for everything good, whereas the subconscious is just a cluttered storage unit for everything and anything—usually consisting of nothing but old traumas!

What flows from the superconscious is this: In 1904, he penned the "book of law," which was allegedly dictated to him by an entity known as Aiwass, appearing after the invocation of the Egyptian god Horus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_Crowley

It is the subconscious that actually holds the reins, controlling us in ways we desperately want to avoid because it keeps us shackled:http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/how-to-overcome-subconscious-blocks

I am in complete agreement with this bold statement. My take is that all our fears—or rather, the roots of those fears, like hatred, jealousy, possessiveness, or greed—stem from those dark, hidden corners of our psyche. They dictate how we make decisions throughout our lives. To put it bluntly, that "subconscious" feels less like my God and more like my own little devil. My God, as Benjamin Taylor6 suggests, would be a higher superconscious offering a clear, realistic vision of life—one where there is absolutely no room or reason to coexist with some outdated, petty demon.

Simply becoming aware that these specific traumas exist within our consciousness is already half the battle in cleaning out those dusty corners.
In fact, that is the very essence of doing the work on oneself.

I’m still waiting for vividrider472 to give me a more detailed briefing on the matter. ☕

Just quiet down for a second, ask yourself some questions, and listen to the response coming from your solar plexus.🙂 If you're interested, I could send over some materials for, hm, let's call it mind consolidation and expanding your perception. It's one of the simplest things I know—you work through it on your own, and there's no prior knowledge required, other than reading the instructions on what everything is for and which "position" affects what.
And if you want, I could walk you through what the subconscious actually is using your own example—it's pretty helpful.🙂

Please, just send them over.

vividrider472 said:Hey everyone.🙂

Trying to pray to your subconscious is kind of a lost cause, really—mostly because that part of the mind is packed with what we call limiting beliefs, patterns, or old programming. And let's face it, those things usually hold more sway over us than our conscious thoughts do. We can influence that subconscious content through intentional action to eventually shift our conscious reality, but it’s a pretty complex process.
Wherever we run into trouble in life, you can bet there are some limiting subconscious programs at play. Someone trying to heal might be fighting one or more deep-seated ideas, like "I don't deserve to get better" or "I'd rather just give up." You usually uncover these through various psychological techniques. People who know their stuff can work through this on their own, though most people see a therapist. That said, there is a simple way to at least identify which beliefs are holding you back, which makes taking next steps much easier. If anyone's interested, I'm happy to write more about it.🙂

I agree. Through deep self-analysis, we can improve our own lives and even the lives of those around us. First, we need the awareness to realize something isn't quite right with us, then we have to find the bug in the software and attempt to correct that behavioral pattern. It's pretty straightforward. That’s just a common-sense approach to the problem.
But when people claim that the subconscious is God... 🙄

What even is the subconscious, really?
Are we talking about those little impulsive actions we can't explain, or is it that constant internal monologue—that nagging voice that won't stop rambling in the back of your mind? Or is it something else entirely?

I find myself nodding along with what mistygull16 was saying.

Honestly, praying to oneself as if one were their own subconscious feels incredibly self-centered to me.
Mind you, I realize I’m playing fast and loose with my terminology here...
Personal accounts of brief vs. permanent awakenings in Spirituality ·
Peter Phillips32 said:There’s this fundamental flaw baked right into how people describe those brief moments of unknown, and honestly, there might be a massive mistake in even treating these little flashes of unknown as something inherently "good" or beneficial for the individual.

Think about it—someone living in an unaware state is basically stumbling through life with blurry vision, totally clueless about what the world actually looks like through the eyes of someone who is truly awake. There's a massive gulf between being unaware and being awake, even if both states technically persist. If an unaware person hits one of those short bursts of unknown, they suddenly see things with total clarity, but then, almost instantly, they slide right back into their usual fog where everything is hazy again.

So, if the world is a blur to them normally, then whatever clarity they caught during that flash of unknown becomes just as inaccessible once the moment passes and the vision goes fuzzy again. This means that pretty much any description of "clarity"—unless it was literally scribbled down while the person was mid-unknown—is fundamentally flawed and unreliable because it’s being recounted from a state of blurred vision.

And hey, let's throw another layer onto this fundamental mess.

It’s worth asking: just how much clearer does an unaware person actually see during one of these brief bursts? I mean, what kind of metric can you even use to verify the depth or the scale of that clarity when it hits them?

Unless an unaware person reaches the exact same level of perception and insight as someone who is fully awake during that burst, you can't really trust that what they saw was actually accurate.

But man, that just opens up a whole new rabbit hole of questions.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

I think you're hitting on something vital here. It’s essentially just a momentary flash in how we perceive our surroundings—a different kind of spark that burns itself into your memory. But here’s the thing: after you've lived through it, the brain starts obsessing over the memory. You replay it, over and over, until the memory is so battered and bruised by constant mental rehashing that you lose track of what actually happened versus what your own mind manufactured. The funniest part? Instead of just staying present and letting that state become our current reality, we end up living in these mental dreams about the past. We get so caught up in ruminating on what *was* that it becomes nearly impossible to actually surrender to the truth and live a real life.
