our own mind,or is it?
The notion that our mind is a single monolithic thing, and that we know everything that’s in our own mind, is a stubborn one, but quite misleading.
In fact we know very little about what goes on in our own heads;
100 billion cells are firing all the time, and we’re not aware of any of them.
Sometimes we can achieve self-knowledge, but it is never guaranteed.

Re: our own mind,or is it?
I agree our mind can be misleading as too much flashes through our minds that can be confusing; if we could access the self knowledge then I very much doubt we would be on this world; if the subconscious mind were to open and flood into our human minds it would drive us insane as the human mind would never cope. Our subconscious mind contains every bit of knowledge we have experienced and only comes to light when it is needed and even then we need to know it is the truth that is coming forth or are we being misled by our own thoughts

Re: our own mind,or is it?
In his book "The Daemon" Antony Peake writes of our minds being
binary.In fact much modern research is showing this to be a functional
truth.He calls the hidden mind the daemon and observing me or I as the eidolon
The subconscious would be the daemon in your model.
The state of the quiet mind is meant to give space to the daemon to
communicate to the eidolon,through intuitive thought or visions.
I have wondered if the spirit guide is perhaps the daemon?
What do you think?

Re: our own mind,or is it?
It is said Stephen that our minds are like a computer we just cannot access what is in our minds but as for the daemon being our spirit guide I very much doubt it; there are times when we receive contact from our guides with knowledge unheard of before. There are times when the face of a guide appears on top of our own face so again I very much doubt the daemon could create some thing like that but I keep an open mind about every thing

Re: our own mind,or is it?
'the face of our guide'.
I have seen that happen,Bill. Visiting a spiritualist church one evening,long time ago.
A lady medium gave her address to the congregation. Slowly her features were covered by another face.
I would say a chinese face,definately Oriental.
