B. Identifying the Lower Mind

Realising That the Lower Mind Exists Within You

The most transformative moment in your personal growth journey is when you recognise:

“This voice inside me is not me. It is my lower mind.”

You realise you have a Lower Mind when:

• you observe your own reactions

• you notice emotional patterns repeating

• you see yourself acting out of impulse

• you hear the internal voice of fear, ego, or desire

• you pause and ask, “Why am I feeling this?”

The very act of noticing means your Self — your higher awareness — is waking up.

Signs You’re Operating From the Lower Mind

You can identify the Lower Mind through simple emotional and behavioral markers:

• Overreacting to small events

Feeling triggered, irritated, or anxious without clear reason.

• Strong emotional cravings

Wanting immediate pleasure, attention, or validation.

• Holding onto grudges

Replaying old situations and feeling the need to “win.”

• Endless expectations

Expecting people, situations, or the world to act according to your script.

• Addictive patterns

Scrolling, consuming, escaping, or overdoing anything to numb discomfort.

• Fear-based decisions

Choosing safety over growth, even when the opportunity is right.

• Constant comparison and self-judgment

Feeling “not enough” or believing others have what you lack.

These are not failures — they are signals.

Every moment of discomfort is your Lower Mind trying to take control.
