Our
subconscious mind has many layers. At the deepest layer, it is the entire
universe; the shallower layers are the “group minds” of which we are members.
Just as the One Mind is formed from the sum of all minds in the universe, group
minds are formed by the sum of all minds in a group. The One Mind is simply the
ultimate group mind, the “universal set” of all seemingly individual minds.
Families,
clubs, companies, cities, countries and other kinds of groups have minds of
their own. When we give an entity a name – for example, “Brazil Football club”,
or “Australia” – we give it an identity. Identity indicates the manifestation
of an individual or group mind.
Our
relationship with the rest of the universe is expressed through the
relationship between our mind and the group minds of which we are members. Thus
we experience and connect with the universe, both consciously and
subconsciously, through our family, friends, school, company, community, city,
country, continent and planet. Therefore, even though at the deepest level we
all share the same subconscious mind, we experience it differently because we have
different families, schools, companies, countries etc. That's why it's so
important to have good relationships with your family, co-workers, etc.,
because they are aspects of our relationship with God; which is to say, our
true selves.
