The business idea, self versus mind, and consciousness as awareness

Frederic asks how much his idea of building a platform to help healers from English-speaking countries develop activities in non-English-speaking Europe comes from himself.

The Wonders answer roughly 12 percent from group/collective consciousness, about 2 percent from the self, and the remainder from the ego personality and mind - the ego is more influenced by the collective because the group has more apparent meaning and reality for the mind.

They invite him to imagine 60-70 percent of ideas coming from the self, which would make ideas deeper and broader.

They warn that his recent high energy around the move is largely mind excitement at something new - mind candy designed to distract from self-exploration - whereas the vitality of the self is a continuation of self-exploration and is felt as connectivity and continuity rather than the mind's version of peace.

On consciousness, they urge him not to define it only within the mind's limits: consciousness is awareness, which can expand limitlessly, while the mind can hold only what it keeps at the forefront.

The mind should not be discarded but used as a tool - let the mind observe and discover the self - and he is encouraged to keep going even if it takes many attempts, since he already sees movement.
