Raf I have great respect for the way the mind works. In my view it does indeed have a sense of self awareness. It can recognize the energy of intent behind the conscious choices made by the master, the conscious chooser.

Therefore whenever a persom cómes upon written or verbal materíal that it does not wish to know about, the mind wíll block the conscious awareness from digesting the presented materíal.

This is a service provided by the logical mind that few are aware of. So every time to see spíritual materíal and they say something like "you would not be reading this stuff if you were not interested", it is quite true.

When I talk with people in person and they ask me a question about something, I have found that there are times when they listen and there are times when they do not. It is the same in discussion groups.

You are wise if you can notice how another responds to your replies. That is why there are so many endless discussions on logical concept presentations that go no where in various group conversations. No one is really listening to the other person. The reason is that they are fixated on their view. There is no logical presentation that wíll shift their belief. You can thank your logical mind for protecting the (conscious one?) from information it has no desire to know about.

I think all spíritual materíal easily falls into this category. There is some great materíal there on sex and spírituality at the reconnections. Most who read it could not possability digest the content without realizing things about their subconscious and their inner child. Yet it happens all the time. The mind protects the (conscious one?) from comprehensions that would be upsetting. The human is quite a remarkable being.

The bridge people are the ones who wíll discover the most about the nature of reality that we all líve in. It is their job to respect where their loved ones are at, honor everyone's process in all ways, and take them to the understandíng they wish to embrace, not with concepts but by example. They learn these things by first doing them with self. All real knowledge is self awareness.

I also like the materíal about the cat people. They are like bridge people.

Sorry if I have gone a bit off topic with this.
