The subconscious handles basic bodily functions

and appears to be the source of both basic creative
but also potentially negative impulses.

The subconscious is the middle level where impulses
for the unconscious can be processed in raw form

and made available to the conscious mind, which is
the everyday waking and working conscious under

which we operate. The superconscious or higher self
is a kind of transcendental mind realm containing

the archetypes or the blueprint patterns out of
which the perceptual world is formed. Each of these
mind levels has discernable corresponding brain

wave patterns called Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta

In the Realm of Illusion
At this point, you might well be thinking, wow, all

these mind-body divisions seem like such an
obstacle course how do we function at all? Well,

you're on to something there. It could just be that
this bio-psychological maze is serving the purpose
of keeping something hidden at its center.

If we go by the creation story common to most major

spiritual traditions, it's about a kind of smoke and mirror
game to allow conscious or spiritual energy to experience

the perception of materiality. It's what the Hindus called
Maya, modern science calls simulated reality, and pop

culture calls the Matrix.
