The older I get, the more I appreciate how little we understand of our world, and the universe we inhabit.
So much of our understanding seems to be rooted in our subconscious, overlaid by a relatively thin veneer of matters merely consciously understood.
Since our conscious mind seems to be isolated from our subconscious in our waking periods (and the occasional rare memory of our dreams invariably evaporates all too quickly upon waking) it is not so difficult to believe that if a waking connection between conscious and subconscious could be established, we would be living completely different lives!
(Is that why the authorities feel the need to outlaw our use of mind-altering substances that exist in nature? Whilst I have never used such "substances", I'm beginning to suspect that I may be missing out! But let's not get carried away ... )
Even as it is however, I can from personal experience attest that the subconscious is perfectly capable of breaking into our conscious thoughts, and certainly when our lives might be in imminent danger ...
Paul Cudenec offers us some very thought-provoking insights into the relationship between the conscious, the subconscious, spirituality, religion, and "sacred" sites.
It's a deep topic, so plunge in!
