Hmm I wrote that article a while back. I guess these days I might say it differently. Your higher self is source energy mixed with some attributes/energies that you have taken upon yourself to bring into the physical. Source energy on the purest level is love energy – naturally high vibrational. I think that’s what I meant by pure joy.

The difference between the unconscious mind and the higher self -

The unconscious mind is the means through which your higher self can talk to you – it’s not your higher self. Your higher self will often place intuition into your unconscious mind first and it’ll filter gradually into your consciousness over time (your unconscious mind is much more receptive to intuitive messages than your conscious mind.) Messages from your higher self can often sit in your unconscious mind for a while before filtering through into your conscious mind. For example, you don’t realize you want to leave your job until it hits you one day. That realization will have been in your unconscious mind before it came through to you consciously. But it will have come from your spirit.

I guess the unconscious mind is also the label we give to the part of you that processes all the things that happen during the day; all the thoughts and emotions you have and your desires that don’t rise to the surface – the conscious mind cannot possibly hold and process everything that goes on in your life and day. The unconscious is for that – and if it needs you to become conscious of something after it has sorted through all that data, it’ll put it into your consciousness.

That’s the difference – hope that makes sense.

I’m intrigued when you say that your Higher Self is pure joy – I understand this, but I’m having a bit of trouble comprehending this mentally.

Also, I was wondering if you could clarify what you mean by the difference between one’s unconscious mind and one’s higher self?
