Types of Consciousness

Three Levels of Consciousness!
Types of Consciousness
Subconscious
This is the first level of consciousness. Every experience we've had, every thought, every impression of loss or gain, resides in the subconscious mind. It is unrestricted by logic and permits a certain flow of ideas. When we dream at night, we are mainly operating on the subconscious level. The subconscious mind can all too easily intrude itself on our conscious awareness, tricking us into thinking we're getting intuitive guidance, when actually we're merely being influenced by past impressions and unfulfilled desires.
Conscious
The next level of consciousness is one from which we receive guidance at a conscious state. When we receive input from senses, analyze the facts, and make decisions based on this information, we are using the conscious level of guidance. It is strongly affected by the opinions of others and might cloud our ability to draw true guidance.The conscious mind is limited by its analytical nature, and therefore sees all things as separate and distinct. If we rely exclusively on the conscious mind, we may find ourselves lacking in certainty and slipping into a state of perpetual indecision.
Super-conscious
This is intuition and heightened mental clarity flow. Because of the super-conscious level of consciousness is unitive and sees all things as part of a whole, it can readily draw solutions. The problems and solutions are seen as one, as though the solution was a natural outgrowth from the problem.
