There are basically two kinds of people in the world – unconscious people and conscious people.  Conscious people are more aware of themselves and the little voices inside their heads that are created by their personalities. I am not talking about people with psychological issues but the little voices inside that tell you that you are not good enough, smart enough or lovable enough or whatever the story is at the moment.

Most of our lives are lived being unconscious of those parts of ourselves that keep us from having the relationships, money and love that we desire.  People who are unconscious are that way to protect the pain and stress that they have endured.  We build defense mechanisms to protect ourselves when the pain is too much to feel.

Becoming more conscious is a process of learning to pay attention to the little voices within that keep you stuck.  It is learning to pay more attention to the little feelings that you have on a moment to moment basis that will tell you more about your unconscious programming.   Your feelings will tell you what your unconscious thought or beliefs are.   They will tell you when you are out of harmony with your true essence.

Whenever you are feeling anything but love or joy you can know that you are buying into the old unconscious beliefs that often are telling you something along the lines of you are not good enough, smart enough or worthy.

The hard part is that these things are unconscious and what is in front of you often feels so real.  Being unconscious of these parts of yourself will often make you feel like nothing can be done or that it is hopeless to know anything or be any other way.

Becoming more conscious can be a very painful process as you start to uncover the ways of being and the patterns that have been with you for the greater part of your life.
