some are now researching what they call complex, adaptive systems - systems that respond to the world around them, in ways that look a lot like learning. The
whole process of evolution is clearly a learning process, a developing of new variations that work better, or work in new environments. Some people see
evolution as the dynamic unfolding Great Story of the Living Universe and consciously celebrate and learn from it.
Creativity is not the only tool in the toolbox of the super-conscious. It is also said to be the source of limitless free energy. It is the source of the surges of
mental and physical energy that course through you in moments of extreme excitement, desire or even imminent danger.
In Florida a number of years ago, a 68 year old grand-mother was working in the kitchen of her
home. Her 40 year old son was working under his car which was jacked up. Suddenly, the jack gave
way and the car fell onto his chest. He was in imminent danger of being killed. Hearing his cries of
pain, she dashed out of the house and acted immediately. Grabbing the front bumper, she lifted the
car off her sons’ chest, saving his life. Two neighbours witnessed the event. When asked about it
later, she denied the event. She had completely deleted the incident from her memory because it
was so far beyond what she knew her physical strength would normally allow her to do.
They say a picture paints a thousand words. The largest part of an iceberg is out-of-sight,
underwater – only one seventh to one ninth is actually visible above the surface. The largest ones
tower as much as 400 feet above the surface of the ocean, with as much as 3000 feet concealed
beneath water level.
What has this to do with the mind?
It’s a great comparison with the levels of consciousness in our minds. Your conscious mind is
represented by the visible element of the iceberg above the water line. Your subconscious mind is
represented by the much larger, supportive part below the surface.
But the largest part of our consciousness, as with the iceberg, lies outside of the known, measurable
area. The infinity of the sky and space above the iceberg, is representative of the area we know least
about, the infinite intelligence of the super-conscious mind.
YOU HAVE THREE MINDS !
Technically speaking, each of us only has one mind. But this one mind has 3 parts to it:, the
conscious mind, subconscious mind and super-conscious mind. The first two minds are within us,

but the super-conscious mind is ‘without’. It is the mind of our extended self.
