Beyond the Power of Your Subconscious Mind Read Online Free Page A

and you are planting seeds (thoughts) in your subconscious mind all day long, based on your habitual thinking. As you sow in your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment.
    When your mind thinks correctly, when you understand the truth, when the thoughts deposited in your subconscious mind are constructive, harmonious, and peaceful, the magic working power of your subconscious will respond and bring about harmonious conditions, agreeable surroundings, and the best of everything. When you begin to control your thought process, you can apply the powers of your subconscious to any problem or difficulty. In other words, you will actually be consciously co-operating with the infinite power and omnipotent law which governs all things.
    A knowledge of the interaction of your conscious and subconscious minds will enable you to transform your whole life. In order to change external conditions, you must change the cause. Most people try to change conditions and circumstances by working with conditions and circumstances. To remove discord, confusion, lack, and limitation, you must remove the cause, and the cause is the way you are using your conscious mind. In other words, the way you are thinking and picturing in your mind.
    It is fascinating and intensely interesting to observe how you can speak authoritatively and with conviction to the irrational movement of your deeper self bringing silence, harmony, and peace to your mind. The subconscious is subject to the conscious mind, and that is why it is called subconscious or subjective.
    Outstanding differences and modes of operation
    You will perceive the main differences by the following illustrations: The conscious mind is like the navigator or captain at the bridge of a ship. He directs the ship and signals orders to men in the engine room, who in turn control all the boilers, instruments, gauges, etc. The men in the engine room do not know where they are going; they follow orders. They would go on the rocks if the man on the bridge issued faulty or wrong instructions based on his findings with the compass, sextant, or other instruments. The men in the engine room obey him because he is in charge and issues orders which are automatically obeyed. Members of the crew do not talk back to the captain; they simply carry out orders.
    The captain is the master of his ship, and his decrees are carried out. Likewise, your conscious mind is the captain and the master of your ship, which represents your body, environment, and all your affairs. Your subconscious mind takes the orders you give it based upon what your conscious mind believes and accepts as true.

     
    Let’s examine this more closely. This is a very powerful metaphor. Our conscious mind is like the captain on a ship barking out commands to the crew, or subconscious mind. In this example, the crew (subconscious) is in the hold of the ship below the water line. The crew can’t see nor do they care where the ship is going. They simply carry out the orders of the captain not minding whether the ship runs into another ship, hits an iceberg, or gets the ship safely to its final destination. The crew (subconscious) is completely nonjudgmental. It doesn’t question the captain (orders from the conscious mind) or make alternative suggestions, it simply carries out the orders (instructions) precisely. Our subconscious is a servo- mechanism (i.e., servant) whose purpose is to be of service to the conscious mind. Therefore, if we constantly tell our self, and others, “I can never remember names,” for example, the subconscious mind responds similarly, and as you are scanning your memory bank to recall a specific name you want to remember, your subconscious will deliberately block out that name so you “can’t remember” it, because those are the instructions it has received repeatedly from the conscious mind, i.e., “I can never remember names.”
