Changes

One must go deep within oneself and discover that one does not exist. Only the Divine exists, and so long as you have not made that discovery, you cannot advance on the path. When one has made this discovery, one becomes aware that one was nothing but a bundle of habits. In everyone there are these hundreds and hundreds of "selves" who speak and in hundreds of completely different ways—"selves" unconscious, changing, fluid. The self which speaks today is not the same as yesterday's; and if you look further, the self has disappeared. There is only one who remains. That is the Divine. It is the only one that may be seen always the same. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/8-april-1953#p23</ref>

There are three occult sources of our action—the superconscient, the subliminal, the subconscient of which we are not aware. We are aware of is the surface being which is only an instrumental arrangement. The source of all is the general Nature,—universal Nature individualising itself in each person; for this general Nature deposits certain habits of movement, personality, character, faculties, dispositions, tendencies in us, and that, whether formed now or before our birth, is what we usually call ourselves. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-subconscient-and-the-inconscient#p6</ref>
