The Subsuperconscious and
The Subsubconscious Mind

THE NINTH APHORISM

The superconscious mind working through the subconscious of the conscious mind is the essence of reason. It is known as the subconscious of the superconscious or the subsuperconscious mind. The superconscious mind functions beyond reason yet does not conflict with reason.§

This in itself is easy to comprehend. The explanation is clear and concise. To elaborate on the last statement, I will say that to follow a line of thought, then into its depths, through the use of reason takes time. When the depths are reached instantaneously through contacting the superconscious, all the essence is unfolded without the use of reason, space or time. Yet it does not conflict with reason, because the end result is the same in any case. All the time spent in reason requires the mind to open its superconscious resources through the subconscious for the final answer. Hence, training the mind in the arts of concentration and meditation is of great value in this instance. §

THE TENTH APHORISM

Two thoughts sent into the subconscious mind at different times, with the same rate of intensity, are different from their separate conscious expressions. This self-created state manifests itself at a much later time on the conscious plane, creating disturbance to the mind.§

Two thoughts, at different times, sent into the subconscious mind form in what is called the sub of the subconscious a totally different vibration when intermingled–that is, if the psychological arrangement of the mind was the same at the time each thought entered it. This subconscious formation of thought turns into feelings of the lower, instinctive nature and causes the external mind to react to situations in a way that it normally would not have done. This thought formation is taken apart in only one way. It is dissected only through the transmutation of the regenerative forces. ¶It is well and good to believe that sex is a necessary part of life, but the dissipation of the creative energies is not. These forces must be sent back into the body to give strength of character and power over the subconscious mind and its sub; this awakens the subsuperconscious mind in all its peace and glory. When the sex energies are transmuted, they lead the mind calmly into itself in a way that is not only constructive, but totally satisfactory in all lines of endeavor, be it extroversion or introversion. All one needs to do is release into understanding all fears, worries and doubts about sexual expression. And the consciousness of comprehension will awaken the mind, and all attempts to bring forth knowledge and freedom from within will be fulfilled.§

THE ELEVENTH APHORISM

The sub of the subconscious mind can only be created through the conscious mind or the subconscious of the conscious mind.§

This sub of the subconscious mind is to be studied objectively before we go into it deeply. It has a great many uses. In our understanding that part of the mind as an object, we must first break it down into its patterns as related to us at the present time. Then have all of the qualified thoughts sorted out and blended into a picture of what has been created. This is easy when concentration upon the mind as an object has been perfected.§

THE TWELFTH APHORISM

The sub of the subconscious mind can be understood consciously when the thoughts which created this sub are traced. These will usually be found when the conscious mind is at its lowest ebb.§

When resting, it is possible to study the sub of the subconscious mind with ease. The body is relaxed, and the conscious mind has loosened its hold on external objects. When study has commenced, trace through the thought pictures consciously, without disturbing the overall picture. Take into consideration the fact that all thought stems from a series of influences within the Ego. These influences take form and shape in thought. When you manifest pictures before you, trace them to their conception by holding the consciousness lightly over the mind, blotting out all distractions that may creep into the mind in an effort to disturb your consciousness. Remember to take your findings, whatever they may be, and consciously think them through until all doubts have been dispelled. You will then find that through your conscious effort the sub of the subconscious has been understood consciously as well as subconsciously. The principle is to keep your mind quiet while you are studying a problem and do not react subconsciously to the study of the problem. Sit back and quietly allow the problem to unfold before your vision. §

THE THIRTEENTH APHORISM

Should superconscious expressions be dropped into the subsubconscious, they must first pass through the conscious plane, or be given to the subconscious of the conscious mind by the subsuperconscious mind and from there dropped into the sub of the subconscious mind.§

This aphorism is very clear and you will have no trouble separating the superconscious and the subconscious thoughts that have blended in the subsubconscious mind once you have perfected the objective study of the mind. Since we are all victims of the subconscious state of mind, we must keep it in a state of transparency by paying constant attention to this state of mind in our daily meditations. §

THE FOURTEENTH APHORISM

The sub of the subconscious mind can, and does, create situations of an uncomely nature.§

It is well known that repressions are formed by a series of suppressed desires. When these repressions are released, the emotional unit undergoes a change. It is also well known that all the thoughts placed into the subconscious remain there until they materialize into something definite. Then they will reappear. It is a little bit different with the subsubconscious state of mind, for it not only attracts situations that will bring these thoughts out, but it creates situations by playing upon the subconscious mind itself.§

THE FIFTEENTH APHORISM

The subsubconscious mind, through its natural magnetism, attracts so-called temptations and unhappy conditions. The conscious mind, weakened by harmful practices, falls into this self-created trap. There the Ego seemingly suffers between the subconscious thoughts that created the “sub,” the Ego’s conscious expression, and its subsuperconscious knowing. §

Guilt is one of the results of this state, also pride and anguish. These are a few of the qualities resulting from the subsubconscious mind. When the sub is controlled through a deep understanding of its inner workings, the Ego, or consciousness, is free from being bound in identifying itself with the mind, body and emotions. The Ego, or consciousness, can then progress toward the dynamic realization of your real Self–beyond the mind, the mind that is under your control. Otherwise, the Ego is caught in the cross-section between the conscious mind and its subsuperconscious knowing, which results in superstition, ideology, fanaticism and an argumentative nature.§
