Suprisingly well explained. There are other models of human consciousness, such as Freud, or as Sri Aurobindo's, Essays on the Gita, or that of the Buddhist thought in Chogyam Trungpa.

Here the mind exists as:

1. The Conscious Ego Level, Our Lower Self - where we consciously decide our thoughts and actions.

2. The Unconscious Egotistical Child Level, also part of our Lower Self - it is here we unconsciously create faulty habitual thought patterns with decisions based on our avoidance of pain formed from our childhood lack of reason and continued in such irrational and detrimental ways carried into our adulthood. These habitual thought patterns then unconsciously react automatically in negative schematics from original childhood thinking and need to be re-patterned with our adult thoughts, which we do by acknowledging, re-experiencing and transforming such fears into positive courage of evolutionary growth.

3. The Supraconscious Higher Universal Self - this is what many others would label our higher self, the universal mind, the ccollective conscious that exists within ourselfs, the no-self, etc. This is our true self, the calm, knowing, patient self with resiliency and creativity of reacting in such a way beyond all negativity.

The secret to such succesful thought, peace of mind and self honesty, along with congruent actions, is that of finding the higher self and becoming a true observer of both the Lower Self - Conscious Ego, and that of the Unconscious Ego Self, which both produce the subsequent Mask Self, the false idealized image our Lower Self falsely believes we must be. In turn, we loose this mask, observe it and all our thoughts, both conscious and unconscious reactions, and subsequent actions, all as a true outsider, observing as our inside true higher self.

Of course there is much more to thinking, evil, fear and courage and this is well defined and outlined.

This is the most enlightening book I have ever read and it changed my life. This book is about understanding how we think and operate as thinking, feeling, spiritual beings. It gets to the core of who we are and how to become truly at peace with ourselves and the world. All of the Pathwork books by Eva Pierrakos are great. I have also read "Creating Union" which is similar but focuses on relationships with others, lovers, friends, family, etc. I love the fact that there is no judgment in who we are. We are just human beings doing the best we can, and we will change when we are ready to change, and that's ok. We are always beautiful in God's / the Universe's eyes

This book changes the usual way we all have of thinking about our problems. The teachings in this book leads us to discover the roots of our emotional problems. You'll probably be amazed at how much you will discover about yourself, your mind and your needs. You may actually "feel" the release of life energy with every spiritual discovery you make about youserlf. Truly incredible.

This book will kick your lower-self-... ...But you better be
serious about 'knowing thyself' or you'll never make it thru it.
The first half of the book is kind of depressing, as you see how
much work there is to do, but then you realize, you've been doing
the work all along...just using different words. An entire book could be written on every paragraph - there is so much pertinent information. I felt like the 'entity' who gave this was sitting in my brain, watching every neuron firing (or not) and seeing how and why it expresses itself in the physical world. Highly reccomended.

I love Pathwork. The guide or channel in this book teaches you about self observation. You learn about your shadow or your lower self. Next, you learn how to bring those pieces of you into the light. This is deep transformational work. Pathwork is brilliant
