The Unfolding Of The Unconscious

The Unfolding Of The Unconscious is an amazing process.

While it is effort-full and also at times painful,
the usual clichéd states ascribed to this process.

What however amazes me is that,
what it reveals in nothing new!

We already know it well.
It appears so fresh and alive, when it emerges.
We get aware of it so quickly
and realize how it has been impacting our being and our life.

And the cost we have been paying for being that way.
Just that it has not been in our conscious awareness!

We know it, but are not aware of it.

A very intriguing state.
Knowing but not being aware.
And by not being aware, our life seems to be running in an auto mode.

That is how our unconscious is driving our life.
And without awareness we becomes victims of our own self.

There seems to be a strong membrane of “living” that
separates this hidden knowing from coming into awareness.

This “living” is the mindless rush of tasks, of doing, of achieving,
of making things happen, of setting things right......
Without creating any space to reflect.

Only with reflection, with moments of silence, does awareness
emerge and the possiblity to uncover the unconsciousness.

While it indeed is effort-full to break-into the unconscious,
the more we are persistent, the more it will happen.

And once this membrane of living is permeated,
it becomes all too easy to make sense of what has been
really happening in this so called “living”.

And emerges the possibility of altering the life script we
have been so mindless following.

There is immense empowerment and freedom in this new being.

As Carl Jung said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
