A viewer asks: “How many levels of consciousness are there? We know of the Deep subconscious, the subconscious, the conscious self, the upper subconsciousness and/or the higher self? Are the upper subconsciousness and the higher self the same thing? What more can you tell us on this subject to expand our awareness and understanding?”

The higher self is a higher consciousness residing in the divine realm, rather than a sub consciousness. Otherwise, this is an accurate listing of the levels involved in the makeup of an individual, with the exception of not including cellular consciousness. The latter is linked to the physical body, so it is mainly concerned with and governing tissue-specific experiences and functions. So an injury in a body site will typically have a cellular memory of the insult. But keep in mind that because the nervous system impinges everywhere through the body, events evoking a strong emotional response can be keyed to sites within the body where there is a kind of resonance, and this is not necessarily a logical site for a repository of the awareness of an emotional dilemma, but may become a working repository to handle many similar episodes of dark emotional consequences. Those who use trauma resolution techniques probing this, have observed that people differ in the frequency with which emotional traumas are stored in a particular region of the body. This is a working of the mind itself to provide a kind of structure, a way of organizing things to keep like things in proximity, which is only logical and convenient to keep things orderly. But one person's repository might focus more on the chest area and another's might be more focused on the solar plexus or the lower abdomen. This is analogous to someone who purchases a filing cabinet to store their personal records like bills, letters, tax forms, and so on, but will vary in where they decide to put it. Some have a home office, but others will use a closet, a spare bedroom, or perhaps an area in the basement. So while the purpose is the same for all to be a repository, there is no universal consideration about the actual site itself. In the case of the physical body of a human being, there is a logic to keeping things about the body in a particular location because the association will be obvious to the mind, as what the cellular consciousness does is highly personal and includes many body-specific events.
