*(Human complexity)
What you mentioned in your introduction is correct. As [[Mother Spirit]] and I have [[confessed]] a [[number]] of times, we do delight in introducing our [[children]] to themselves--to all that you are, both for your own inner [[awareness]] and so you can see this in others. Yes, you are a highly [[complex]] [[being]], but [[consider]] for now just the [[conscious]] part of you, the part of you that you know of right now as you are sitting here or [[reading]] these [[words]]. This is [[normally]] what we mean by you. This is the--you--that we address. This is your [[conscious]], [[thinking]] [[self]]. This is the part of you that has ready [[access]] to your [[memories]] and all your more [[immediate]] [[plans]] for the [[future]]. This is the part of you that has rather elaborate [[schedules]] to carry out, both by yourself and in all your [[relationships]]. Yet being such a [[complex]] [[person]], this [[conscious]] [[self]]--as you may be [[aware]]--is only a small part of your [[total]] [[personhood]]. Your [[God]]-created [[personality]], [[endowed]] with [[spirit]], has the [[power]] to make all of you real to you. It is your [[personality]] that [[Self Realization|real-izes]] your life--makes your life real.

You are [[endowed]] with [[creative]] [[spirit]] so, from a very early age of gaining a [[continuous]] [[consciousness]], you’ve formulated an interior, [[subjective]]/[[imaginative]] world that is [[unique]] to you. This [[Inner Life|inner]] [[reality]] begins to have greater and greater [[contact]] with the outside world, first through your [[mother]] and [[father]], then your [[siblings]] and [[Friends|playmates]], and soon enough you are thrown into a kindergarten or a first grade classroom with a dozen others to relate to. Then here comes that whole big wider adult world out there. You’ve all come up through these [[stages]].

Meanwhile you have a [[body]] that is 99.9999 percent [[unconscious]] for, as we’ve said, all [[your science]] has still to [[Fathom|plumb]] the [[depths]] of what this [[body]] of yours is constantly doing. You have a [[mind]] that [[connects]] your [[personality]] with your [[body]], and a large part of this [[consciousness]] is what we call [[material]] [[mind]], based directly upon your [[organic]] [[being]]. This is the kind of [[mind]] you [[share]] to a [[degree]] with the highest [[primates]], only, just in terms of [[brain]] size and [[nervous system]] [[capacity]], you far exceed by several orders of [[magnitude]] any other [[animal]] on the [[planet]]. In addition, much of your modern [[psychology]] has correctly taught you that a large part of your [[mind]] is also [[unconscious]]. These are all the endless, intricate details of [[habituation]], [[abilities]], [[mind]]/[[body]] [[coordination]]--all the thousands of [[things]] you’ve [[learned]] to do and [[associate]] [[automatically]]. This includes your [[reasoning]] facilities. These too are largely [[unconscious]]. Consider all of the conditioning that you acquired as you contacted the larger [[Environment|outside world]] and absorbed unconsciously from your [[parents]] and their [[political]] [[viewpoints]] and [[religion]], and from [[being]] a member of this country or that, part of an ethnic [[group]], a [[racial]] group. All of these [[spiritual]]/[[mental]] [[associations]] from [[personal]] [[experience]] give your life [[meaning]] and [[value]].

Then here we come along, as if you weren’t already [[complex]] enough, informing you that a large part of your [[being]], your [[spiritual]] and [[mental]] [[being]], is [[literally]] [[Mother Spirit]] and [[dimensions]] of her [[Holy Spirit]]: part of your [[thinking]], part of your [[intuition]], your [[knowledge]], your [[understanding]], your [[courage]], even your [[wisdom]] and your [[worship]]. All are being augmented by her. You have my spirit, my [[Spirit of Truth]] inside you as an [[orientation]] towards an endless [[adventure]] of [[discovery]] of what is true, what is real, what works. All will keep expanding.
