Why mantras?
With positive thinking, we purify our intellect. In today’s digital world, we are bombarded with an overload of information, that we oftentimes don’t even notice were consuming. Everything we read, hear, and speak gets stored into our minds, whether we like it or not. We can’t necessarily control the algorithm of what unfolds each day, but we get ahead of it. We can make time to support and cultivate a strong and positive mindset that filters out negativity and lower vibrational thinking. How we do that? By using impactful affirmations that typically are created during time of stillness, like meditation. It is the foundation of our subconscious and ultimately where we experience life.
We have three levels of functions in our minds. Subconscious, conscious, and superconscious.
Our lower nature, also known as our subconscious, is the instinctive automatic mind. It holds our involuntary functions of the body and the house of lower emotion, such as animal instincts like desire, passion, and appetite. It is said that these life impressions are stored and carried into this life and even future lives. It holds unnecessary thought waves, unfulfilled desires, memories, and dreams of our future. It is also what directs us in our experience of senses.
Intellect and reasoning is stored in the second level, the conscious mind. This level of the mind can control the subconscious mind as it houses the ego - the “mine-ness” and “i-ness”.
Superconsciousness refers to awareness that operates beyond the thinking mind (ego)—where insight, creativity, and understanding arise without linear reasoning.
It’s often described as:
Clear, spacious awareness
Intuitive knowing
A sense of unity or interconnectedness
Insight without effort
Think of it as perceiving from a wider field, rather than from constant thought.
