The Unconscious and pictorial language

*******

As dreams demonstrate, the unconscious Mind is far more likely to use pictorial images than mere words. The creation of words, and word-formulas, is largely the intellectual creation of the conscious mind. The conscious mind (that of which we are aware) is only a small part of Mind, most of which is unconscious. One goal of enlightenment is to make the mind a crystal-clear mind through which the higher Mind (soul) or highest Mind (Spirit) can shine as Love (goodness, kindness, compassion, etc.) This is the purpose of meditation.
