Do You Live Primarily in the World Without or World Within?

Everything that we find in our world of expression has been created by us in the inner world of the mind consciously or unconsciously. We need knowledge regarding the sensitivity of the subconscious to thought. Most of the great scientists, artists, poets, singers, writers, and inventors have a deep understanding of the workings of the conscious and subconscious part of the mind. Your subconscious mind takes the orders we give it based upon what the conscious mind believes and accepts as true. With the economy the way it is, be very careful about negative programming in this area because the subconscious will back you up 100%. The subconscious works twenty-four hours a day providing us with the fruits of our habitual thinking.

The subconscious has the answer to all problems. You can tell it to wake you up at a certain time. It can build and heal your body by giving it instructions just before you go to sleep at night. It is a faithful servant. Every thought is a cause and every condition is an effect. Convey to your subconscious what you desire to create or draw to you and it will respond accordingly. You have to give it orders and it will act on them. So, please do not say "I can't do this." We actually can do all things through the power of the subconscious mind. That would be a good mantra to repeat. Do not believe in things that may harm or hurt you. Instead, believe in the power of the subconscious to heal, inspire, strengthen and prosper you. Guard your thoughts, change them, and you can change your destiny.

We think with the conscious mind and whatever we habitually think sinks down into the subconscious part, which creates according to the nature of our thoughts. The subconscious is powerful because it is the seat of our emotions and actually is the creative mind. If you think positive thoughts, good will follow; negative, negative will follow. What you need to always remember is that once the subconscious mind accepts an idea, it begins to execute it. The law is neutral. It can be applied to negative experiences or positive ones through our habitual thinking. Whatever you claim mentally and feel as true, the subconscious part of the mind will accept and bring forth the experience. Give a command to your subconscious and it will faithfully reproduce the idea impressed upon it. What happens is that impressions are made in the brain cells. As soon as your subconscious accepts any idea, it proceeds to put it into effect immediately. This is why, EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques, tapping on the body at specific points will get the attention of the subconscious encouraging it to act and act now.

Self-Suggestion

Belief and desire mold the present body and experience, as well as future experience. Creating new and positive mental forms will create a brighter future. The power of the mind works on its own level whether it is physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. A trained mind is the finest part of your mind thinking. I have found that it works to my advantage to analyze and seek meaning for what is being presented to me. To question both the inner and outer experience requires discernment. It is beneficial to question everything both visible and invisible and simply not accept or assume that it is absolute truth. Our confidence grows when we remember to rely on the intuitive part of the mind. Nothing happens by chance.

We evolve through discipline and effort. Theoretical knowledge does not transform us. We destroy or build our world through our disposition. It is up to us to take responsibility for creative action. Will power needs to be developed and applied, otherwise we will not follow through to our goal. A mental reframing must be used as a bridge to an elevated state of consciousness. To master the lower world of matter, we must learn to think for ourselves and hold a strong center in our life. Directed will can be used as a creative power. An excellent tool is self-suggestion.

Self-suggestion is an effective tool to use upon awakening and before retiring for the night. Repeat a statement of intent either out loud or mentally. This is called reframing or reprogramming the mind. The suggestion is offered to the subconscious part of the mind and the super conscious part of the mind. Keep the goal alive and in front of your mind. If your thoughts and actions are the opposite of the affirmation or mantra, it will be either neutralized or negated. Repetition is the secret of success. Take a great interest in what you are creating. What works is to keep the attention fixed long enough for a new habit to manifest. It is similar to exercising and developing memory in weakened muscles. Self-suggestion is encouraged because it helps develop will power. When an image or idea is placed into the mind, give it a command to act in a specific way. It will impress the mind. Remember to do it and keep at the practice until you know with a certainty that you have actually accepted the goal in your mind.

Faith

To accomplish change, healing and growth, we must be rock solid in our faith. It must be our primary focus. We must remain confidently in that state of mind until it is objectified. Remember, faith is the feeling we have in consciousness of the thing desired. We could say it is the secret of creation. Through faith the unseen becomes seen. Through our persistent faith, our consciousness is joined with the idea desired.

How would you feel if you were or had the desire already? When you think about it, you would have the feeling already if the desire was objectified. The feeling has to be firmly sealed within you. Faith is our part of creation or bringing forth the desired result. The rest is accomplished on the invisible level without effort. No one can tamper with your state of mind if it is tightly sealed in your belief.

It is similar to sending the word of your inner spirit Self out into the world of matter. Be clear on what it is that you will to create or possess for either yourself or another and send it out. As an example: Sit quietly and assume the mental attitude of listening, recall anything you can about your friend's voice. Really hear it. Imagine that you are hearing her voice and that she is telling you that she now has what you wanted for her. Feel your own happiness at hearing from your friend her good fortune. You have impressed upon your mind the good you desire to manifest. Then...let it go.

A Paradox

The feelings stored in the subconscious as impressions are to be both used and controlled. To attain self-mastery, we must understand that feelings can be our undoing or they can be perfect tools to reach an ideal or goal. The thing to remember is their fickleness and fluctuating ability. If feelings are incorrect or out of control, they destroy and work against soul evolution and happiness. If they are understood and mastered, they are a magnificent tool.

The impersonal and non selective subconscious impressions are not concerned about truth or falsity. It simply accepts that which is declared to be true for the individual. Then of course, it manifests the input received. It accepts everything it receives. So, what we need to do is monitor our feelings and understand that we do not wish to create further hindrances in our every day world. This is why all mystics and masters state that the feeling nature must be controlled. A state of mind filled with hope is impossible if we impress the subconscious with any idea of failure.

Commanding the subconscious really is not effective. It is far better to persuade it through understanding garnered from study of self and what works and what does not. It is a creative medium, a womb so to speak. What is required is for the thinking mind to take charge through an attitude of love by assuming and building an opposite feeling of the one that you previously stored in the subjective part of the mind. You must learn to assume a new truth, a new reality. Once this assumption is planted deeply in the soil of the subconscious, it will accept your new and elevated understanding as its truth. You see life through what is going on secretly within you. Your world is your consciousness objectified. So, being aware of this fact, change your inner impressions so they will benefit you and the people around you.
Self mastery is the goal. Sleep, prayer, chanting, visualization and a creative imagination will help you until you get there.

Ideas

Where do ideas come from? They are impressions within the subconscious through the medium of our feelings. Regardless of the idea whether positive or negative, it must be felt to impress the subconscious. If you have not controlled your feelings, you will easily impress the subconscious with all kinds of nonsense. Control doesn't mean to be rigid or unfeeling. It implies that you have actually learned how to discipline yourself. You imagine and entertain only feelings that contribute to your evolution and happiness.

If you dwell on the imperfection of yourself and others, you impress the subconscious with endless limitations. Your feelings make a powerful impression. The only way you can counter the negative is to create a more powerful opposite suggestion. The dominant feeling is the one that manifests in the body and life situations. To transform and heal feelings, use your imagination and see, feel and know yourself in the desired state right now. To accomplish this, guard your moods. All ancient teachings mention that it is wise to detach from moods.

Your body reflects your feelings. So, it figures that if you dwell on the positive and think feelingly on how you prefer to be, you will begin to live and act on that conviction. If you really want to change your health, wealth, appearance, relationships or whatever is important to you, you must develop an intense and focused feeling for the transformation. When you master this action, you are a conscious creator of your destiny. It is necessary that you learn to control the subconscious part of the mind, which are your ideas and feelings.
