Success Blog: Psychology, Human Behaviour, Self-Development, Relationships, and Affirmations

This is a really cool concept out of The Science Of Mind by Ernest Holmes. The title sums it up rather well – objectively we appear to be separate and individual, while subjectively we are all united – we are all one. Before I get deeper into it, I will just explore the terms used a little more.

Objective means two things: conscious mind and things external to the mind. Even though it sounds like two completely separate concepts, they are highly related. We observe, think, are aware, and live in our conscious mind. So the things that are external to our mind, like the screen that you are reading this on, are observed in our conscious mind. Subjective is the mind beneath the conscious mind – also known as the subconscious mind.

So objectively, to our conscious mind, we appear to be separate from everything and everyone else. We see ourselves as an individual living in our own little bubble. But we are all really energy, and all energy is connected and unified, so this separation is simply an illusion, and that is why Holmes says that we are subjectively all unified.

If you think about the times when you have had an idea just ‘pop’ into your head, your conscious mind, where do you think it came from? You obviously did not consciously come up with it. The explanation that I like is that the idea came from your subconscious mind. But how did it get there? From the Universal Subconscious that we are all connected to at all times. And although we are all connected to the Universal Subconscious at all times, we are all aware of that connection at very different levels. Most people do not even think beyond themselves and their own bubble. So my goal is to expand my awareness and to continuously improve the connection with the Universal Subconscious.

Until next time,
