The interaction of your conscious and subconscious
mind requires a similar interaction between the corresponding
system of nerves. The cerebrospinal system is the
the conscious mind, and the sympathetic system is the organ
of the subconscious mind. The cerebrospinal system is the
channel through which you receive conscious perception by
means of your five physical senses and exercise control over
the movement of your body.
This system channel of your volitional and conscious mental action. The sympathetic system, sometimes referred to as the involuntary
nervous system,
has its center in a ganglionic mass at the back
of the stomach known as the solar plexus, and is sometimes
spoken of as the abdominal brain. It is the channel of that,
mental action, which unconsciously supports the vital
functions of the body.
•
The two systems may work separately or synchronously.
Judge Thomas Troward (The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science
(New York: Robert McBride & Co 1909)) says, “The vagus
nerve passes out of the cerebral region as a portion of the
voluntary system, and through it we control the vocal organs;
then it passes onward to the thorax sending out branches to
the heart and lungs; finally, passing through the diaphragm, it
loses the outer coating, which distinguishes the nerves of the
voluntary system and becomes identified with those of the
sympathetic system, so forming a connecting link between the
two and making the man physically a single entity.
“Similarly different areas of the brain indicate their
connection with the objective and subjective activities of the
mind respectively, and speaking in a general way we’may assign
the frontal portion of the brain to the former and the posterior
portion to the latter, while the intermediate portion partakes
of the character of both.”
A rather simple way of looking at the mental and physical
interaction is to realize that your conscious mind grasps an idea,.
which induces a corresponding vibration in your voluntary
system of nerves. This in turn causes a similar current to be
generated in your involuntary system of nerves, thus handling
the idea over to your subconscious mind, which is the creative
medium. This is how your thoughts become things.
Every thought entertained by your conscious mind and
as true is sent by your brain to your solar plexus, the brain of your subconscious mind, to be made into your flesh,
and to be brought forth into your world as a reality.
