“Elsa, can or would you be willing to write about establishing communications between the intellect and subconscious? I understand your meaning that it is an inside job – we have to do it for ourselves.”  – Tracy

Sure.  I first experienced this connection in my mid 20’s. I woke up one day, aware I was at fault for my predicament.  No accident had befallen me.

That’s not to say I consciously did this or that to create my miserable conditions. I did not! I subconsciously did things that landed me on my head. This is when I decided I needed to better understand this mechanism.

I have a packed 8th house. As I combed through the ashes I was stunned to learn the actions I that I take are subconsciously driven, more often than not. If you’re going to live by your gut or your instinct, you better make sure these things are relatively healthy.  Otherwise you wind up signing your house over to a scam artist and various things of that nature.

You’re recreating your trauma in some cases but there are endless scenarios. A common thing I see: people make friends with someone they subconsciously hate. Hijinks follow. Another person may subconsciously flirt with their husband’s best friend or their boss. They get themselves in a mess and then say, “who, me?”

It can be twisted and I don’t want to be twisted. It’s embarrassing to me to be twisted. Other people can see what you’re doing. Nothing worse than being the last to know! I worked on this.

I still work on it. I work on it every day. I ask myself, “What are you really doing here? What do you really want?” I peek into the dark corners. I mention this often, under full moons. I don’t miss a chance to better understand my own motivation.

I want to work with my subconscious. I want it to guide me.  It does a marvelous job and I give it it’s due. I didn’t “mastermind” x or y. I gave weight to my hunches. If I feel some kind of pull, I will give it my mental attention. I do not stuff my feelings. That does not mean I express them!

I think the first step is to realize you have subconscious drives that can and will take the wheel. Your drives are not always going to be on the up and up! If you don’t hook up your functions, you wind up doing heinous things to people, which your intellect has to then expend energy denying, to both yourself and others.  This twists you up further, of course.

You must agree to grapple with your own shadow. If you’re willing to do this, the connection will be made.

That’s a picture of me, touring my subconscious. Yes. I am that comfortable.  This has been a good deal of my life’s work and one of my better investments of my time and energy.
