Are You on The Unconscious Conveyor Belt of
Life?
I dropped my son off at school this morning
and as I was driving home I found myself thinking about consciousness. This
isn’t unusual; I think about it all the time, but today, I was really focused
on how unconscious we can be.
We don’t think we are unconscious, but it
shows up in so many places and ways in our lives.
It shows up in what we think we know, or our
response to situations. It shows up in what we believe to be true, or what we
think we cannot do, or have or be.
We walk through our lives living in a dream
state that has been crafted by the messages of others, the beliefs of our
religion, our culture, our family, the media, governments and it is in the
dream state that we are asleep, living an unconscious life.
We start to wake up when we question the
information that informs our day-to-day life. It doesn’t have to be ‘wrong’
information, but it is simply the fact of thinking about it, of considering
where the information comes from and choosing if it is true for you that wakes
us up and moves us into conscious living.
I think often about recent movies that have
shed light on this notion of our unconsciousness – The Matrix and Vanilla Sky
come to mind. These movies linked our unconsciousness to machinery, but in our
case, there is no machine, there is only our waking dream state.
Much of what is happening on the planet today
is because of our unconsciousness. We have not stopped to think about
resources, or the food we eat or the way we interact with each other. We have
simply moved along on the unconscious conveyor belt of life.
The tricky thing about living unconsciously
is that we really don’t know that we are, until we wake-up.
One of my students realized she lived
unconsciously and it started with question the way in which she folded her
towels. She routinely folded her towels the same way every time without
thinking about it. When she stopped to question this, she realized she folded
them this way because that’s how her mother had her fold the towels when she
was little. Her mother folded them this way because that’s the only way they
would fit in the linen closet. My student consciously decided to fold them a
different a way, she also went a step further and broke out of the habit of
only having white towels.
It may seem like a small thing, but this
moment broke her out of her waking dream state. Our unconsciousness doesn’t
have to be big, our growth comes in simply waking up to recognize that we are.
