Your Mind Is Divided in Three
The ‘thinking part’ of us functions on three planes. You may think of it either as one mind functioning along three lines, or as three minds merging into each other.

Before we advance to the next principles, the mental ones, let’s dive into the nature of the mind.
We have all heard the terms conscious and subconscious. The theory is that our mind is divided in two different parts. The one that thinks consciously, the one that reasons. And the one that does things automatically, subconsciously.
Modern psychologists set the conscious mind aside and bundled all the rest into the subconscious mind, ignoring the fact that they were mixing the highest and lowest qualities of mind. Putting them in the same class, and leaving the middle quality by itself.
The subconscious theory becomes very confusing. Because we have grouped together the most sublime flashes of genius and the silliest instincts of lower development. How can the subconscious be capable of such genius and such low instincts?
