THE EXPERIMENTS

WHEN EXPERIMENTS WERE DONE BY PSYCOLOGISTS AND OTHERS ON PERSONS IN THE HYNOTIC STATE, IT OCCURED THAT THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IS NOT CAPABLE OF MAKING SELECTIONS AND COMPARISONS WHICH WERE NECESSARY FOR A REASONING PROCESS. ON THE CONTRARY IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WILL ACCEPT ANY SUGGESTIONS, HOWEVER FALSE. TO ILLUSTRATE THE AMENABILITY OF OUR MIND TO SUGGESTION, IF AN EFFICIENT HYNOTIST SUGGESTS TO ONE OF HIS SUBJECTS THAT HE IS NAPOLEON, HE WILL ACT OUT THE PART WITH INIMITABLE ACCURACY. HIS PERSONALITY BECOMES CHANGED FOR THE TIME BEING. HE BELIEVES HIMSELF TO BE WHATEVER THE OPERATOR TELLS HIM HE IS. ALSO TO TAKE ANOTHER EXAMPLE SAY IF A SKILLED HYNOTIST SUGGEST TO ONE OF HIS STUDENTS IN THE HYPNOTIC STATE THAT HIS BACK ITCHES, AND TO ANOTHER THAT HE IS A MARBLE STATUE, AND AGAIN TO SOME ANOTHER THAT HE IS FREEZING AND THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW ZERO THEN EACH ONE WILL FOLLOW OUT THE LINE OF HIS PARTICULAR SUGGESTION, TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS TO ALL HIS SURROUNDINGS WHICH DO NOT PERTAIN TO HIS IDEA. THUS THESE SIMPLE ILLUSTRATIONS PORTRAY CLEARLY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR CONSCIOUS REASONING MIND AND OUR SUBCONSCIOUS WHICH IS IMPERSONAL, NON-SELECTIVE, AND ACCEPTS AS TRUE WHATEVER OUR CONSCIOUS BELIEVES TO BE TRUE. HENCE, THE IMPORTANCE OF SELECTING THOUGHTS, IDEAS, AND PREMISES WHICH BLESS, HEAL, INSPIRE, AND FILL OUR SOUL WITH JOY.

THE WORKING OF OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

PEACE OF MIND AND A HEALTHY BODY ARE INEVITABLE WHEN WE BEGIN TO THINK AND FEEL IN A RIGHT WAY. WHATEVER WE CLAIM AND FEEL AS TRUE, OUR SUBCONSCIOUS WILL ACCEPT AND BRING FORTH INTO OUR EXPERIENCE. THUS THE ONLY THING NECESSARY FOR US TO DO IS TO GET OUR MIND OUR IDEA, AND THE LAW OF OUR MIND WILL BRING FORTH THE HEALTH, PEACE, OR POSITION WE DESIRE. WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THE LAW OF OUR MIND IS THIS -- WE GET A REACTION AND RESPONSE FROM OUR MIND ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF THOUGHT OR IDEA WE HOLD IN IT. EVEN WELL KNOWN PSYOCOLOGISTS AND PSYCHIATRISTS HAVE ALSO POINTED OUT THAT WHEN THOUGHTS ARE CONVEYED TO OUR MIND, IMPRESSIONS ARE MADE IN THE BRAIN CELLS. THUS AS SOONS AS OUR 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 WE HAVE GATHERED IN OUR LIFETIME TO BRING ABOUT ITS PURPOSE. IT DRAWS ON THE INFINITE POWER, ENERGY AND WISDOM WITHIN US. IT LINES UP ALL THE LAWS OF NATURE TO GET TO ITS WAY. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO BRING ABOUT AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION TO OUR DIFFICULTIES, BUT AT OTHER TIMES IT MAY TAKE DAY, WEEK, OR EVEN LONGER. THUS ITS WAYS ARE PAST FINDING OUT.

TWO SPHERES OF ACTIVITY IN ONE MIND

OUR CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS ARE NOT TWO MINDS BUT MERELY TWO SPHERES OF ACTIVITY WITHIN ONE MIND. CONSCIOUS MIND IS THE REASONING MIND. IT IS THAT PHASE OF MIND WHICH CHOOSES. FOR EXAMPLE WE CHOOSE BOOKS, HOME AND PARTNER IN LIFE. THUS WE ALL MAKE DECISIONS WITH OUR CONSCIOUS MIND. ON THE OTHER HAND, WITHOUT ANY CONSCIOUS CHOICE ON OUR PART OUR HEART IS KEPT FUNCTIONING AUTOMATICALLY AND THUS THE PROCESS OF DIGESTION, CIRCULATION AND BREATHING ARE ALSO CARRIED ON BY OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND ACCEPTS WHAT IS IMPRESSED UPON IT OR WHAT WE CONSCIOUSLY BELIEVE. IT DOESNOT REASON THINGS NOR DOES IT ARGUE. IT DOESNOT REASON IN PROVING WHETHER OUR THOUGHTS ARE GOOD OR BAD, TRUE OR FALSE, BUT IT RESPONDS ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF OUR THOUGHTS OR SUGGESTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE IF WE CONSCIOUSLY ASSUME SOMETHING AS TRUE, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE FALSE, OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WILL ACCEPT IT AS TRUE AND PROCEED TO BRING ABOUT RESULTS WHICH MUST NECESSARILY FOLLOW, BECAUSE WE CONSCIOUSLY ASSUMED IT TO BE TRUE.

CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS

WE CAN GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE TWO FUNCTIONS OF OUR MIND BY LOOKING UPON IT AS A GARDEN. AS A GARDENER WE ARE PLANTING SEEDS IN OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND ALL DAY LONG, BASED ON OUR HABITUAL THINKING. AS WE SOW IN OUR MIND, WE SHALL REAP IN OUR BODY AND ENVIRONMENT. EVERY THOUGHT IS THEREFORE A CAUSE AND EVERY CONDITION IS AN EFFECT. SO FOR THIS REASON WE SHOULD TAKE CHARGE OF OUR THOUGHTS SO AS TO BRING FORTH ONLY DESIRABLE CONDITIONS. WHEN THE THOUGHTS DEPOSITED IN OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND ARE CONSTRUCTIVE, HARMONIOUS AND PEACEFUL, THE MAGIC WORKING POWERS OF OUR SUBCONSCIOUS WILL RESPOND AND BRING ABOUT HARMONIOUS CONDITIONS, AGGREABLE SURROUNDINGS, AND THE BEST OF EVERYTHING. A KNOWLEDGE OF THE INTERACTION OF OUR CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS MINDS WILL ENABLE US TO TRANSFORM OUR WHOLE LIFE. IN ORDER TO CHANGE EXTERNAL CONDITIONS, WE MUST CHANGE THE CAUSE. TO REMOVE DISCORD, CONFUSION, LACK, AND LIMITATIONS, WE MUST REMOVE THE CAUSE, AND THE CAUSE IS THE WAY WE ARE USING OUR CONSCIOUS MIND. IN OTHER WORDS THE WAY WE ARE THINKING AND PICTURING IN OUR MIND.

LAW OF MIND IS THE LAW OF BELIEF

THE LAW OF OUR MIND IS THE LAW OF BELIEF. THIS MEANS TO BELIEVE IN THE WAY OUR MIND WORKS, TO BELIEVE IN BELIEF ITSELF.
THE BELIEF OF OUR MIND IS THE THOUGHT OF OUR MIND - THAT IS SIMPLE - JUST THAT AND NOTHING ELSE. ALL OUR EXPERIENCES, EVENTS, CONDITIONS AND ACTS ARE THE REACTIONS OF OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND TO OUR THOUGHTS. REMEMBER, IT IS NOT THE THING BELIEVED IN, BUT THE BELIEF IN OUR OWN MIND THAT BRINGS ABOUT THE RESULT. SO CEASE BELIEVING IN THE FALSE BELIEF, OPINIONS, SUPERSTITIONS, AND FEARS OF MANKIND AND BEGIN TO BELIEVE IN THE ETERNAL VERITIES AND TRUTHS OF LIFE WHICH NEVER CHANGE. THEN WE WILL MOVE ONWARD, UPWARD AND GODWARD. AS THE BIBLE SAYS IN A SIMPLE, CLEAR, AND BEAUTIFUL WAY. " WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN, BE THOU REMOVED, AND BE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA; AND SHALL NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, BUT SHALL BELIEVE THAT THOSE THINGS WHICH HE SAITH SHALL COME TO PASS; HE SHALL HAVE WHATEVER HE SAITH. - MARK 11:23. OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IS PRINCIPLE AND WORKS ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF BELIEF. SO WE SHOULD BUSY OUR MIND WITH THE CONCEPTS OF HARMONY, HEALTH, PEACE AND GOODWILL, AND WONDERS WILL HAPPEN IN OUR LIFE.

THE LAW OF BELIEF

IT IS NOT THE THING BELIEVED IN THAT BRINGS AN ANSWER TO MAN'S PRAYER; THE ANSWER TO PRAYER RESULTS WHEN THE SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND RESPONDS TO THE MENTAL PICTURE OR THOUGHT IN HIS MIND. THIS LAW OF BELIEF IS OPERATING IN ALL RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD AND IS THE REASON WHY THEY ARE PSYCHOLOGICALLY TRUE. THE BUDDHIST, THE CHRISTAIN, THE MOSLEM, AND THE HEBREW ALL MAY GET ANSWERS TO THEIR PRAYERS NOT BECAUSE OF THE PARTICULAR CREED, RELIGION, AFFILIATION, RITUAL, CEREMONY, FORMULA, LITURGY, INCANTATION, SACRIFICES, OR OFFERINGS, BUT SOLELY BECAUSE OF BELIEF OR MENTAL ACCEPTANCE AND RECEPTIVITY ABOUT THAT FOR WHICH THEY PRAY. THE LAW OF LIFE IS THE LAW OF BELIEF, AND BELIEF COULD BE SUMMED UP BRIEFLY AS A THOUGHT IN OUR MIND. AS A MAN THINKS, FEELS, AND BELIEVES SO IS THE CONDITION OF HIS MIND, BODY, AND CIRCUMSTANCES.

EVERYTHING BEGINS IN MIND

EVERY PART OF LIFE IS GOVERNED BY LAW. NOTHING DEPENDS UPON CHANCE OR ENVIRONMENT. EVERYTHING IN THE OUTER WORLD CAN BE OVERCOME THROUGH THE WORKING OF THE MIND. EVERY PROBLEM HAS AN ANSWER THROUGH SELF-DIRECTION. THE LAW THAT WE USE IN SELF-DIRECTION IS THIS : EVERY THOUGHT THAT ONE CONSCIOUSLY THINKS MAKES AN IMPRESSION ON THE SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND THAT WILL EXPRESS ITSELF AS ACTION ACCORDING TO THE STRENGTH AND THE DESIRE CONTAINED WITHIN THE THOUGHT. SO WHAT WE ALL NEED TO DO - IS TO LEARN HOW TO CLEAN UP THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, ROOTING OUT OF IT THE THINGS THAT WE DO NOT CHOOSE TO EXPERIENCE. SELF-DIRECTION IS THE ART OF REDIRECTING THE SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND IN A POSITIVE WAY, KNOWING THAT MIND WILL FOLLOW THROUGH AND CARRY OUT OUR POSITIVE DIRECTIONS. PSYCHOGENESIS IS THE PRINCIPLE - EVERYTHING BEGINS IN MIND - SELF DIRECTION IS THE WAY TO USE IT.

ONE MIND FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS.

THE MIRACLE WORKING POWERS OF OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND EXISTED BEFORE ANY OF US WERE BORN AND BEFORE ANY CHURCH OR WORLD EXISTED. THE GREAT ETERNAL TRUTHS AND PRINCIPLES OF LIFE ANTEDATE ALL RELIGIONS. AND IT IS WITH THIS THOUGHTS IN MIND THAT WE SHOULD LAY HOLD OF THIS WONDERFUL, MAGICAL TRANSFORMING POWER WHICH BINDS UP MENTAL AND PHYSICAL WOUNDS, PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE FEAR-RIDDEN MIND, AND LIBERATE US COMPLETELY FROM THE LIMITATIONS OF POVERTY, FAILURE, MISERY, LACK AND FRUSTRATION. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS UNITE MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY WITH THE GOOD WE WISH TO EMBODY, AND THE CREATIVE POWERS OF OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WILL RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. LET WONDERS HAPPEN IN OUR LIFE. SO KEEP ON UNTIL THE DAY BREAKS AND THE SHADOWS FLEE AWAY.
