'Doing nothing', living from the subconscious mind, and the inner child who resists being told what to do

Frederic asks how the earlier observation that he likes doing nothing relates to the idea of living from the subconscious mind.

The Wonders say the two are close: for him the subconscious mind is about exploring existence with greater ease - without pushing, defining, judging, fearing or feeling guilt - and that is how he wanted to explore existence.

But he incarnated into a family very much built on fear, judgment and guilt, so he began experiencing existence from that perspective.

His conscious desire to do nothing is really a way of saying he does not want fear, judgment and guilt, which he equates with having to do something, and is an attempt to remind himself why he came here.

They note he is creative and talented and enjoys tinkering, playing and doing things, but does not enjoy being told what to do because that triggers the fear, judgment and guilt of his childhood.

Asked whether he can choose not to react that way, they point to his daughter: when told what to do she sometimes says an adamant no, and he is the same - that part of him has not grown up and is still a child part that needs to be given the awareness that he is no longer a child.

If he does that, that part of his mind can mature and find another coping mechanism, another way to say no or resist without completely shutting down.
