Who is in the Driver's Seat?

We all have an ego. Yup, its a fact. Your Ego is also known as your subconscious self. Typically your subconscious self is a child, or child-like. Your SC is grumpy, doubtful, selfish, self-centered, pouting, degrading and a control freak.

We all have a Higher Consciousness too. The Higher Consciousness is connected to the all-knowing. It speaks in a quiet voice, almost a whisper. Higher Consciousness is kind of like the wind, it can blow you this direction or that direction with gentle guidance. Your Higher Consciousness knows you for your true self, the self you were born into this world to be. Your HC is patient, gentle, loving, healthful and nourishing.

Your physical body is a vehicle. It drives all over town. It drives down the path of your life. Take a look at your vehicle and the road it is on. How would you describe it? Take a moment and write down a few words to describe your physical body and your life. Then look at the first two paragraphs of this post. Who is driving your vehicle, SC or HC?

I have found in my journey that I cannot get rid of SC. She is always there, nagging me, sometimes so loudly I just want to scream at her. I used to think that as long as SC was nagging me I would never succeed. I would never establish any true goals, I would never get to Superstar status. She was always right there telling me I wasn't good enough, I wasn't smart enough or pretty enough...nag, nag, nag. I studied all the books I could find about connecting to HC and no matter how hard I tried, I always heard SC telling me I was never going to accomplish anything.

So, SC is here to stay. I cannot shake her...BUT...she doesn't have to drive my vehicle. I realize SC is a child, and I treat her as such. I give her little games to play, just as if she were three years old. SC loves to be distracted by shiny things, toys, building blocks and puzzles. It makes her think she is doing something important. She still chatters, she still nags...but she is in the BACKSEAT of my vehicle, she is NOT driving. (imagine for a moment if you put a three year old child in the driver's seat of your brand new Porsche...ummm, yikes!)

Now...while SC is busy with her blocks, guess what HC is doing? HC is driving. HC zooms into the future and sees what the possibilities are. It sees who I really want to be. It sees happiness and properity, and when I let HC see the future, it starts paving the road backwards to my present. My HC knows not only how to drive, it also knows how to TELEPORT.

I hear TWO voices now. I hear SC saying, "this is useless, I am so mad that I am in this slump, how am I ever going to get anywhere when the economy is so bad, this is all somebody else's fault, I can never forgive so and so..." Fine. But what is that tug I feel in my gut, what is that other voice saying? It sounds like it is saying "Come over here, I have something INCREDIBLE to show you. You know that lady you met last week? She can totally help you get to that place you've been wanting to go to. Remember the words to that song that keeps playing over and over in your head? That song is trying to tell you something! Why don't you go to the shopping mall tonight and meet your friends at the coffee shop..."

Try this experiment. Quiet the first voice. Follow the second voice. Here are some "busy" things you can give your SC to do, and while SC is busy...let HC soar in the clouds and visit the future.

Take a drive and listen to music
run errands
paint your nails
clean your garage or a closet or a messy room in your house
build a fountain (e-mail me at imaginaryrockstar@hotmail.com and I will tell you how)
play a game
watch a movie
vacuum
exercise
get into your job
sing
cut out coupons
google stuff on the internet or spend some time on E-Bay, Craigslist or YouTube

This sounds like I am telling you to do something mundane, but really you will be multi-tasking. When SC's voice gets really loud, you must allow HC to tell yourself exactly the opposite. See HC pat SC on the head like a toddler and send it back to its busy task. Ask HC, "what is it you want me to see?" and allow yourself to see it. Daydream while you are keeping busy. Feel which way the wind is blowing, smile, breathe and listen. Take the car keys away from the child and let HC drive your vehicle.
