@Jasper10,
Most people are at a loss as to how their mind works.Most do not even try to figure it out.Therefore as we do not know how our minds work,our minds have the AUTHORITY over us.
Even though science is UNAWARE about what consciousness is it claims we are no more than it.
Once one becomes AWARE that one is NOT consciousness types but one only experiences consciousness types then one can start exercising AUTHORITY over the consciousness types.
In order to do this one needs to recognise (be AWARE of ) the “TOGGLING” of the consciousness types.
The TWO consciousness types are AUTOPILOT and MANUAL.
We operate perfectly well with the “TOGGLING” mind……...however most operate in TOTAL UNAWARENESS and therefore fail to notice when AUTOPILOT “toggles” to MANUAL and when MANUAL “toggles” back to AUTOPILOT because it happens automatically.
Rather than just allowing the “toggling” process to happen automatically one first needs to become AWARE of this “toggling” process.This AWARENESS will only come about if one DOES SOMETHING ….i.e. if one takes CONTROL or exercises AUTHORITY.
One does need to exercise CONTROL which means one needs to CONSCIOUSLY SHIFT ones consciousness state from AUTOPILOT to MANUAL and then NOTICE (become AWARE) of how difficult it is to remain in MANUAL.One will just “toggle” back to AUTOPILOT until one SHIFTS ones consciousness state back to MANUAL again.This is how one KNOWS the “toggling” consciousness process that happens in the mind is a REAL concept and one is either AWARE of OR UNAWARE of this PROCESS.
Most do not exercise CONSCIOUSNESS control of their minds and this is solely down to AWARENESS.
AWARENESS is the key.
