There are three parts of you that you CAN’T SEE!
1. Your sub-conscious mind;
2. Your conscious mind;
3. Your consciousness.
#3 is as different from the other two as your thoughts are from your body.
Try this:
Wave at yourself (go ahead – no one’s looking!!)
Faster, then slower. Just watch your hand moving up and down. All three of your NON-physical parts are involved:
#1 – your sub-conscious mind (the part you’re generally NOT aware of) controls movement and sight.
#2 – your conscious mind (the part you ARE generally aware of – evidenced by your thoughts) is doing one of two things: thinking OR observing.
If you hear the voice in your head, you’re thinking – if not, you’re observing (aka you’re being “mindful”; technically, you are aware of the functioning of your otherwise sub-conscious mind).
#3 – your consciousness – the awareness OF your thoughts. This is your essence.
Mic drop. 
Without consciousness you don’t know you’re alive. This aspect of you is so subtle, IT NEVER CHANGES! This (#3) is the awareness OF what’s on your conscious mind (#2).
THIS (#3) IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF YOGA! This aspect of each of us is essentially divine! Realizing THAT will change you forever.
God bless, Allan
