How do you know if a thought is your intuition or you're just making it up?
How can you be sure that you have received guidance or whether it was just your subconscious mind?
How can you tell what is inspired thought and what is just imagination?

Deciphering subconscious thoughts from superconscious thoughts is an art that takes practice. 

The practice is meditation. In meditation we remain present in our conscious minds as much as possible. We notice the distractions of noises, body sensations & thoughts, but we try not to get pulled into them. The more we practice meditation the more we might notice a difference in the types of thought that come up.

The subconscious mind has a negative bias. It plays an important role in our psyche. We have a subconscious mind to protect us from what might hurt us. The subconscious mind therefore tends to have a negative narrative that is constantly going on in the background. It can remind us of what we haven't done, what we did that perhaps we need to think about so that we don't repeat it, what might happen to us.
The subconscious mind tends to be loudest when we are distracted, when we are stressed or on auto pilot. Even if we are meditating, the subconscious mind tends to be loudest when we are finding meditation difficult to settle into.
There is an imaginative component to the subconscious mind too, those conversations that might happen, if he says this then I'm going to say that... The subconsious mind has a voice that we are very familiar with. It is like a small child, it needs to be heard, it's concerns need listening to, so that it can relax. No amount of trying to deny this mind, or these thoughts will take its power away. Listening to it yet putting it in its place is the best way to deal with this mind.

The superconscious mind has a positive bias. It speaks up mostly when our subconscious mind is quiet. So the superconscious thoughts & imagination tends to happen from a very focused or quiet place within ourselves. The thoughts show up like we are receiving them. These thoughts tend to be about things that you would be unlikely to make up yourself. They can appear to be random thoughts, or ideas.
There is an imaginative component to the superconscious mind too, the imagined scenarios that just keep getting better & better. Remember, the superconscious mind has a positive bias.

The more we meditate the more we have access to the superconscious mind & the more practiced we get at feeling the difference between subconscious thoughts & superconscious thoughts. They do FEEL very different, their origin feels different.
As a psychic I am tapping into the superconscious mind to do my work, When I was learning to trust the superconscious mind I would often read for people & be surprised that the advice that the superconscious came up with was different than I would have advised. It can seem wiser than regular solutions that we might come up with as human beings but it can also seem more random, as if it's not connected to the question at all. It is only through acting on the superconscious thoughts that you get the confirmation that it indeed was right, or as a psychic, on speaking the advice to the customer even when my subconscious mind is saying "that can't be right!" that I get the confirmation from the customer that it's what they needed to hear.

If we act on our subconscious thoughts of course, we tend to get the opposite effect. It's not wise, it's rarely the right thing to do. Subconscious minds are great at getting us to avoid eating that toxic mushroom, or to run from that tiger, but it's not great at navigating life in 2024.

The subconscious mind may also appear to be giving you a positive imagination experience when it is really coming from ego, wanting to win, wanting to be right, wanting to save face, wanting revenge, etc. The ego aspect is where we might not see clearly that the subconscious is always always always coming from a negative place.

The more you meditate, the more you will notice the subtleties of these two minds, how they feel different, how they come forth when we are in different states of being, how they say different things. Once you get better at recognising what are superconscious thoughts, act on them & you will get confirmation that it is indeed divine guidance.

We each have 3 minds & the practice of meditation allows us to not only experience all 3 minds, but to ascertain which is which. Mistaking one mind for another can lead to problems in life that can be avoided with more mindfulness.

The conscious mind is the mind that we focus with. When we want to think about something in particular we think with our conscious mind. Put your consciousness in your big toe on your left foot right now. The power of the conscious mind allows us to place our consciousness anywhere we can imagine it to be. The conscious mind is the observer in meditation. The mind that we practice bringing ourselves back to during the meditation. 

The subconscious mind is the protective mind. It has a negative bias because it is there to keep us safe from harm. It has a narrative. It has us taking the perspective of others viewing ourselves, when we wonder how others think or feel about us, this is the subconscious mind. It is the mind that worries, that projects into the future what could go wrong. It is the mind that dwells on the past, of what happened that would have been better not to have happen. The subconscious mind is often the narrator of our lives. We are a communal species yet we are often living isolated from each other - the subconsious mind thinks this is dangerous for our wellbeing, it literally thinks we won't have food or shelter and we will die. This mind wanders off into the negative all day long if we let it. The conscious mind often goes along with it, until we wake up from that state & bring ourselves back to the present moment.

The superconscious mind is intuitive. It is where our inspiration comes from. Some people never reach this state of mind & only function from their conscious & subconscious minds. The superconscious mind receives thoughts, inspired thoughts, that move us forward along our life path. When we have a conscious wish, a conscious mind intention, our higher self takes that intention & knows our path to manifesting that intention. When we sit in meditation or similar spiritual practice for long enough, bringing ourselves back into the present from the subconscious mind & also from external distractions. in time we can experience this higher mind. We can also experience the superconscious mind when we partake in activities that quiet our mind enough, this could be while showering, while gardening, whilst waling in nature, whilst swimming, or a creative activity that has us in the present moment & not succumbing to the subconscious mind. The higher mind thoughts come TO us, we receive the thoughts. They are not something we would make up, although you might wonder whether you have made them up with either the subconscious or the conscious mind. The thoughts can be of a person, a place or even something that you should say to somebody, they can be a new idea, or creative inspiration. Sometimes a whole book can be created by the higher mind, the thoughts repeating over & over until the book is written. 8 of my 9 published books were written starting at 3am and ending whenever the book was complete that same day. Higher mind thoughts can be short snippets, you think of somebody then you bump into them. Take note of all superconscious mind thoughts & take action on them! They are the secret to a magical life of purpose.
