Cognizantability - The conquest of the mind by HH Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami

Reading this part from Merging With Siva (MWS) book written by His Holiness Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami remarkably had a profound impact to my understanding the intricate working of the brain. I wanted to confess here, though I had read this part some years ago, I'd never able to digest completely, but after going through a few cycle of reading now, the understanding is blossoming slowly for my conscious mind to accept as confusion starts to dissolve in facing clarity with the help of superconscious mind..

THE CONQUEST OF THE MIND

THE TRUTH
WHAT ARE YOU TO THE MIND
YOU ARE NOT IN TRUTH
WHAT SEEMS - ISN'T
WHAT COULD BE - CAN'T
WHAT APPEARS TO BE IS NOT ENOUGH
EVEN TO BE APPARENT,
FOR THE SEERS IS WHAT HE SEES,
--AND ISN'T  IN TRUTH

BY SATGURU SIVAYA SUBRAMUNIYASWAMI, AUGUST 4, 1959

In this Chapter of Cognizantability, Gurudeva explains in detail the Five States of Mind:

1. Conscious
2. Subconscious
3. Subsubconscious
4. Subsuperconscious
5. Superconscious

Supported with aphorisms and their explanation of their interrelated five states of mind. A perfect learning treatise on how to control our mind, going deep inside of our "core being" and awaken the dormant "Self" to higher consciousness level.
