You have a mind, and you should learn how to use it. There
I are two levels of your mind – the conscious or rational level
and the subconscious or irrational level. You think with your
conscious mind, and whatever you habitually think sinks down
into your subconscious mind, which creates according to the
nature of your thoughts. Your subconscious mind is the seat
of your emotions and is the creative mind. If you think good
good will follow; if you think evil, evil will follow. This is the
way your mind works.
The main point to remember is once the subconscious
mind accepts an idea, it begins to execute it. It is an interesting
and subtle truth that the law of the subconscious mind
works for good and bad ideas alike. This law, when applied
in a negative way, is the cause of failure, frustration, and
unhappiness. However, when your habitual thinking is
harmonious and constructive, you experience perfect health,
success, and prosperity.
Peace of mind and a healthy body are inevitable when you
begin to think and feel in the right way. Whatever claim
mentally and feel as true, your subconscious mind will accep
and bring forth into your experience. The only thing necessary for you to do is to get your subconscious mind to accept your
idea, and the law of your own subconscious mind will bring
forth the health, peace, or the position you desire. You give
the command or decree, and your subconscious will faithfully
reproduce the idea impressed upon it.
The law of your mind is this: You will get a reaction or
response from your subconscious mind according to the
nature of the thought or idea you hold in your conscious mind.
Psychologists and psychiatrists point out that when
thoughts are conveyed to your subconscious mind, impressions
are made in the brain cells. As soon as your subconscious
accepts any idea, it proceeds to put it into effect immediately. It
works by association of ideas and uses every bit of knowledge
that you have gathered in your lifetime to bring about its
purpose. It draws on the infinite power, energy, and wisdom
within you. It lines up all the laws of nature to get its way.
Sometimes it seems to bring about an immediate solution to
your difficulties, but at other times it may take days, weeks, or
longer… Its ways are past finding out.
