And we routinely make decisions for reasons totally outside conscious awareness. This means that we have a tremendous amount to learn about ourselves—that we each possess a great unknown. Immediately, this exposes a cherished myth about ourselves: that our “heart of hearts,” our deepest and purest motivations, are located in our unconscious mind. Simply stated, our true self is not immediately open to our conscious mind. This is an unpopular truth about which we typically live in total denial—despite the glib lip service our conscious mind gives our unconscious.
Very practically, this means we have two takes on virtually every issue in our lives. On every decision we make, the deeper intelligence shines a new and powerful light. For truth seekers, this news about the deeper intelligence becomes absolutely breathtaking.
