Conscious Decisions Based on Unconscious Beliefs

The titled subject can not be given proper attention based on a single blog as it is debated by many learned people and the theories abound. I as a humble subject of my own experience can only comment on a single perception. A previous comment I made was based on my advice to not look at whose advice you take. A friend commented to me that sometimes listening to the advice given by people whose lives had failed was necessary as a reference to what NOT to do. This sounds like a logical way to avoid making the same mistakes as others. I myself had used this as a means of finding a point of reference to avoid the pitfalls of a failed way of being. Well, I was wrong, sometimes running away from what you are conscious of defines your failures as much as running towards that which caused someone else's failure. It is the definition of that reference point that creates the problem. Perhaps that reference point is what caused the failure of the other person in the first place. Whether it was running away from or towards it is irrelevant to the result. The fact is that the seed of the idea was planted and whether our lives are controlled by fear or courage the result is inevitably controlled by that singular unconscious thought now planted in our head.

When we surround ourselves or are surrounded by by people whose lives are failed or controlled by fear we inevitably allow ideas to be planted in our unconscious that limit our ability to determine our own path and inevitably find the same demise as them. (remember our minds are fragile interfaces between our physical existence and the ether that defines our soul) The only way to limit the ability of others to set unconscious points of reference in our heads is to define our own path, live life without fear, acknowledge and take responsibility for our own mistakes so that we may learn from them; have the courage to keep on living despite the disappointment that comes from failing ourselves and others. As my brother (Rt) put it: "just breath the answers will come when you are ready"; as my dog (T) showed me "never, never, never give up, if you can smell it be persistent and you will find it...just trust your instincts"; find yourself in a place where courage and not fear are rewarded where those who surround you help you clear the path so that your life is not more confusing than it needs to. Trust yourself above anyone else only you will experience your life and all that comes with the choices you make...
