Though we are not the mind, we do have one, like we have a body, or we have a car. It is true that without my car I could not drive - but I am not the car. If I identified with the car, then I would lose all the gifts that identifying as a mind and body would give me. Gifts the car does not. This is severely limiting. I would limit myself to merely the faculties of the car. Do you see the corelation with identifying as the mind as opposed to Spirit? It is true, I could not live in this world without the mind (the mind being the bridge between the physical and spiritual) however I am not the mind. The mind is my vessel - my ride. I am what is left when the mind and body pass away in the formation of another form for Spirit, my true Self to use in the physical.
To reiterate I am what is left after the mind and body pass away. Therefore, I am Awareness (Am) being Consciousness (I). Or I am the Soul (Am) being Spirit (I) that is travelling in the 'I am vessel' of the mind/body. I conscious mind am subconscious mind. Spirit and Soul, or Consciousness and Awareness cannot be separated anymore more than the mind and body can be, except in illusion of course. Again, we can liken Consciousness being Awareness to the mind and body. The body is an expression of our mind like the Soul is an expression of Spirit therefore there really is no higher or lower in their Oneness. Spirit is no higher than Soul. they simply play different parts of the One. The express themselves differently as the One.
In order for the mind to REVEAL Spirit being Soul, it must have an intuitive connection with the realm above it for the mind cannot think what it does not know or is conscious of. Therefore, it must become conscious of itself Spiritually in order to express itself Spiritually.
The mind will not think or considering having another experience without being 'aware' of the choice to do so. It will keep doing what it has always done, much like a pre-programmed computer, until awareness (download) changes its mind. This begs the question; are we learning from the experience itself that brings more awareness to mind or are we remembering/revealing what we already know being Awareness (Soul) itself? Of course, the answer is redundant for it is the Soul that gives us our karmic experiences that increases our conscious awareness and of course the Soul IS awareness itself. Awareness being the activity of Consciousness. Karma is the activity of the Law and Consciousness IS that Law.
Of course, our mind and bodies are our own and of course we could not be in this world without them. However, they both pass away. Thoughts and feelings which you identify with will eventually pass away when their body of expression does. Therefore, you will be left with that is behind them, which is Consciousness (I) being awareness (Am). Bear in mind however, and this is important, that even after death, you are still the I am- vessel, or the personal by degree, depending on how Self-Realized you are. The Incarnate Soul-Mind, is either not at all, partially or completely merged with the One Soul (Awareness) that is the embodiment of Spirit (Consciousness). When the physical body passes away, we are still left with the personal vehicle that reincarnates until it has completed and lived its dream while lucid, before merging back into the One again.
The conscious mind that is our Vessel Consciousness, our sense of I am-ness or presence of being that we know ourselves to be, in the event of physical death merges with its Subconscious Awareness (Soul-Vessel) that it has not done at present due to egoic thoughts and feelings that veil it. You will note that you are unconscious of much of what is in the subconscious. Remember the subconscious is the Soul-Vessel, therefore is the totality of all lives you have lived up until this point. It is also representative of your degree of Awareness in relation to its true Awareness as the One true and eternal Soul.
If the conscious mind, did not separate itself from its own Subconscious-Soul, through rising in thought outside its own Temple, it would become conscious of itself subconsciously, working in harmony and wholeness with itself, that in turn provides a channel for its true Consciousness (Spirit) being Awareness (Soul) to flow through and out into the world, blessing all creatures great and small. It the conscious mind stayed in its Temple aka Subconscious; it would become conscious of all that it is presently unconscious of. It would be in alignment with all aspects of its Being.
In aligning with all aspects of our Being, Self-Realization is experienced. For our true Self is life in its totality, living itself. When effect aka mind and body perfectly reflect Cause aka Spirit, then we are fully aligned and conscious. This is life living itself. This is the Impersonal living the personal.
Understand that the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing at the moment are born of the egoic mind and not the true mind. The conscious mind in the egoic mind set rises outside its Temple (subconscious) forcing unnatural emotions to rise and defile the Temple. When the Temple is corrupted, it in turn corrupts the conscious mind, causing it to rise in thoughts born from the fear of the subconscious. The conscious and subconscious mind in the egoic mindset feed into each other in a negative feedback loop - reinforcing one delusion after another than unfortunately is played out in the physical, for what is held in the mind continuously and with feeling, is soon held in the arms. The only way out of this negative feedback loop is the mediative mind that restores and heals the subconscious while settling the conscious mind. Together both minds as a whole form a channel for Spirit to impress true images or thoughts upon mind that in turn inspires love and true emotion to come forth in creation of all manifestations in the physical world.
To end as I begun, I would say that life is about Spirit being Soul that is having a human experience through their Son, (Incarnate Soul) or the mind. The mind is the bridge or the link between the physical and the Spiritual. We are not the mind, but we do have one.
