Commanding Life: Insights from the Titanic’s Leadership


Commanding Life: Insights from the Titanic’s Leadership

Think of your mind as the grand Titanic, a ship with distinct areas that work together on a huge journey.


On this ship, the deck, managed by the captain, is like our conscious mind.


The engine room, responding to the captain's commands, is like our subconscious mind.

Let’s dive into how these parts of the Titanic mirror our minds and what lessons we can learn from their roles.


The Deck: The Conscious Mind in Command

Just like the captain on the deck of the Titanic, our conscious mind oversees and directs. It's the part of us that makes decisions, thinks about what's happening, and guides our actions.


Captain’s Command:

  • Directing Actions: The conscious mind is in charge, of making choices and responding to what's happening around us.

  • Problem-Solving in Real-Time: It's quick to address immediate problems, much like a captain navigating through waters.


Maintaining a Clear View:

  • Continuous Learning: To keep our conscious mind sharp, we constantly learn and adapt, similar to a captain understanding the seas.

  • Strategic Thinking: Planning our day or making a to-do list is like a captain charting the ship's course, ensuring we're heading in the right direction.




The Engine Room: The Subconscious Mind at Work

Below the deck, unseen but essential, is the engine room, run by a dedicated crew.

This mirrors our subconscious mind, which tirelessly works behind the scenes, powering our thoughts and actions without us being fully aware.


The Engine Crew's Role:

  • Automatic Operation: Just as the crew keeps the Titanic's engines running smoothly without the captain's constant oversight, our subconscious mind manages automatic functions like breathing and emotional responses.

  • Deep-seated Habits and Beliefs: The engine room's consistent operation is akin to our ingrained habits and beliefs, forming the base of our daily actions.


The Power of Routine:

  • Running on Auto-Pilot: Much like the engine room operates effectively through routine and practiced procedures, our subconscious mind thrives on established patterns and habits.

  • Subconscious Influence: The crew’s work in the engine room has a significant impact on the ship's journey, just as our subconscious thoughts and feelings deeply influence our life's path.


Obedience without Question:

The subconscious mind, like the Titanic's engine crew, follows orders without question.

This means that incorrect or negative beliefs, like "Money is the root of all evil," can lead the subconscious to work against our best interests in areas like finance.

Similarly, a belief such as "Men are dominant" can influence the subconscious to attract dominant men into our lives.


Connection with Infinite Intelligence:

The subconscious mind's unique connection with infinite intelligence opens endless possibilities. It can be harnessed to achieve any goal and solve any problem, making it a powerful ally in navigating the journey of life.


Synchronizing the Deck and the Engine Room

The Titanic's journey highlights the importance of harmonious communication and coordination between the captain (conscious mind) and the engine room (subconscious mind). When these two work in sync, the ship sails smoothly.


Balanced Command:

Navigating with Conscious Intent and Subconscious Strength

In the vast voyage of life, just as on the Titanic, it's crucial to have a balanced command between the conscious decisions we make and the subconscious powers that execute them.

This harmony ensures our journey is not only directed wisely but also powered by the immense, often untapped strength of our subconscious mind.

Informed Decisions: The captain needs to make decisions based on accurate information from all parts of the ship, just like we need to be aware of our subconscious motivations to make wise choices.

Responding to Feedback: A good captain listens to the engine room's status, much like we should pay attention to the subtle cues from our subconscious mind.


Steering Life with Conscious Awareness and Subconscious Power


In life, just like on the Titanic, effective leadership requires understanding and managing both the visible and hidden aspects of our journey.


Our conscious mind sets the direction and makes decisions, while our subconscious mind provides the steady power and deep-rooted knowledge that guides these choices.

By learning to listen to and harmonize these two powerful forces within us, we can navigate our lives more effectively, avoiding the metaphorical icebergs and reaching our desired destinations.


Remember, a successful voyage depends not just on the captain’s orders but also on the engine room's efficient response and performance.


The key is to ensure that the commands we give to our subconscious are positive and aligned with our goals, harnessing its connection to infinite intelligence to achieve success and solve problems.
