You must remember that these are not two minds. They
are merely two spheres of activity within one mind. Your
conscious mind is the reasoning mind. It is that phase of mind,
which chooses. For example, you choose your books, your
home, and your partner in life. You make all your decisions
with your conscious mind. On the other hand, without any
conscious choice on your part, your heart is kept functioning
automatically, and the process of digestion, circulation, and
breathing are carried on by your subconscious mind through
processes independent of your conscious control.
Your subconscious mind accepts what is impressed upon
it or what you à consciously believe. It does not reason things
out like your conscious mind, and it does not argue
controversially. Your subconscious mind is like the soil, which
accepts any kind of seed, good or bad. Your thoughts are
active and might be likened unto seeds. Negative, destructive
thoughts continue to work negatively in your subconscious.
mind, and in due time will come forth into outer experience,
which corresponds with them.
Remember, your subconscious mind does not engage in
paving whether your thoughts are good or bad, true or false,
but it responds according to the nature of your thoughts or
suggestions? For example, if you consciously assume something
as true, even though it may be false, your subconscious mind
will accept it as true and proceed to bring about results, which
must necessarily follow, because you consciously assumed it to
be true.
