Who Sits in Your Seat of Consciousness?
BY CAROLE SAWO

Your mind is never neutral. Something is always occupying your seat of consciousness, in between your conscious and subconscious mind, and shaping how you see your life. But are you a slave to your thoughts, to Pharaoh the oppressor, automatically acting out habitual behaviour, or are you the King of your mind – the captain of your soul?

In this metaphor, described perfectly in the bible, “Pharaoh” represents the part of your mind that operates through control, repetition, and inherited patterns. It is the voice that reacts before awareness is present – the structure of thought that feels like “you,” but is actually heavy programming and conditioning.  

When this aspect dominates the driver’s seat in your mind, your perception, and therefore behaviour, becomes automatic. You respond from habits and memories rather than awareness and clarity, and then interpret life instead of directing it.  

This is not something rare or unusual. It is the default mode of unobserved thinking. The shift begins the moment you notice that you do this and question yourself – is your behaviour automatic or are you observing your reality and responding without conscious direction?  Noticing is important because it interrupts identification, or over-identifying with what you ‘think’ is happening, when with another moment of thought, we get to see the bigger picture. For a moment, you are no longer psychologically or emotionally hijacked, seduced fully inside the pattern and the picture – you are aware of it, and can master it from there. Awareness creates space. In that space, identification loosens. What once felt fixed becomes observable.

This is part of the teachings in my online classes in Metaphysics, that I have released a short clip about today on YouTube. It is not about rejecting parts of the mind or trying to remove anything. Effort and force tend to reinforce the same structure they are trying to change. Nothing external needs to be removed. What changes is recognition.  And what is seen clearly begins to lose its authority over perception, putting you back into the driving seat of your soul.
