I will illustrate how the wisdom of your subconscious
mind can instruct you and protect you relative to your request
for right action as you go to sleep. Many years ago, before the
Second World War, I was offered a very lucrative assignment
in the Orient, and I prayed for guidance and the right decision
as follows: “Infinite intelligence within me knows all things,
and the right decision is revealed to me in divine order. I will
recognize the answer when it comes.”
I repeated this simple prayer over and over again as a
lullaby prior to sleep, and in a dream came the vivid realization
of things to come three years hence. An old friend appeared
in the dream and said, “Read these headlines – do not go!”
The headlines of the newspaper which appeared in the dream
related to war and the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Occasionally, the writer dreams literally. The
aforementioned dream was undoubtedly a dramatization of
the subconscious mind which projected a person whom I
trusted and respected. To some a warning may come in the
form of a mother who appears in a dream.
She tells the person not to go here or there, and the reason
for the warning. Your subconscious mind is all-wise. It knows all
things. Oftentimes it will speak to you only in a voice that your
conscious mind will immediately accept as true. Sometimes your
subconscious will warn you in a voice which sounds like that of
your mother or some loved one which may cause you to stop on
the street, and you find, if you had gone falling another foot, a
object from a window might have struck you on the head.
My subconscious mind is one with the universal
subconscious, and it knew the Japanese were
and it also knew when the war would start.Dr. Rhine, director of the Department of Psychology
Duke University, has gathered together a vast amount of
cidence showing that a great number of people all over the
world see events before they happen, and in many instances
are, therefore, able to avoid the tragic event which was foreseen
vividly in a dream.
The dream which I had showed clearly the headlines in
The New York Times about three years prior to the tragedy of
Pearl Harbor. In consequence of this dream, I immediately
cancelled the trip as I felt a subconscious compulsion to do so.
Three years later the Second World War proved the truth of
the inner voice of intuition.
