One of the ways to achieve authentic happiness is through prayer. When we pray, we usually are relaxed and receptive to guidance and experience a feeling of closeness. This is particularly true when we really believe our prayer is already answered. Remember, just like the moments before sleep when you program your life, prayer operates along the same energetic waves. In other words, the subconscious will definitely find a way to manifest a prayer that is stated in conviction and good intent.
What we must discipline ourselves to do is not entertain any thoughts that work against our prayer or desire statements. I suggest that you shut down your physical senses before starting to pray. What I mean by this is to consciously remove from your mind visible and tangible manifestations around you that are the opposite of what you are praying for. The idea is to be in a state of mind where you assume that you are having what you desire by ignoring the senses or appearance world during your prayer time.
The dominant feeling wins. So, prayer must become similar to a meditative state or the feeling you have just before falling asleep. You are conscious but very relaxed.
What needs to be created is a passive state. This is just the opposite of what some teachers insist you must do. There is no demanding on your part. Do what you can to get your mind and body in a passive state and know with all your heart that the wish or prayer is fulfilled. Scripture tells us that everything we need is already within us. Believe it and watch joy unfold. True prayer is a means to live in joyous awareness. It is an awareness of a higher love that will bring into manifestation the good that you are asking for.

Planting a Garden
Whether you believe me or not, you are compelled to act out your subconscious impressions. It is so easy to review and stew over past mistakes particularly just before falling asleep. That is the worst thing you can do to yourself. Stop regretting the past. When we focus on the negative, we reinfect ourselves with the very energy that needs to be permanently removed. I remind you again as well as myself that what we feel before we go to sleep determines our state of mind the following morning.
The thoughts we have before sleep are actually rehearsed in the sleep state. We are like actors trying out old or new parts. Which part is it going to be? The period before falling asleep is very important. It is the time we prepare ourselves for the role we are going to act out tomorrow. The majority of people are not free agents. They are stuck in the same old nonsense. Why not create a new plan of action?
Before you go to sleep, imagine how you would like to feel, accomplish and manifest your heart's desire. You will be creating tomorrow's drama. If you do not deliberately take this action, all the feelings and reactions of the day that just ended will make their subconscious impressions and will be the cause of future action. Plant the seeds in your imagination before falling asleep and watch them germinate and flower in the days ahead. Use the sleep state as a creative state. Please let me know how you have benefitted as a conscious gardener. This is an excellent time of the year to start a fresh planting.

As in the Subconscious so on Earth
Do you know that when you are fast asleep the male or conscious part of your mind turns away from the world as we know it and focuses on its female part, the subconscious part of the self? The subjective part of the mind faithfully reproduces its likeness in the world as we accept it. While we sleep or are in prayer, the conscious and subconscious unite. It is very important that whatever you are thinking about before you go to sleep be good because it will be stored in the inner and later exposed in the outer.
If you have a desire that you would like to see manifested, think about it while you are awake. Feel the wish fulfilled before you fall asleep. Feeling that you are successful will out picture in your waking world. Using your imagination see the desire as your reality. As you relax into sleep, strongly feel the desire as an actuality. After you have fallen asleep, your last feelings about yourself, others and life itself dominant consciousness. In other words, your mood before sleep determines what is held in the subjective part of the mind. If you fall asleep with thoughts of fear, the subconscious will accept your emotions. Why not relax into unconsciousness with a positive attitude that will impress and not impair your happiness?
Whatever you bring with you into the sleep state is yours to manifest in the manifested state of mind. Your subconscious sees you as you believe yourself to be. In this situation, assuming the positive is the kindest act you can do for yourself.
Imagine states of being that reach beyond experiences of the past. Exercising this simple thought projection before going to sleep, assuming it is your truth, you will change your world. You must convince yourself that what you desire is truth. This is not merely a suggestion. It is a conviction. What is in your subconscious determines two-thirds of your life on earth. You have the creative exercise to make the choices you wish to be your reality.

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.

The Secret of Creation
The secret of creation is found in the law of consciousness. Think about it. Consciousness creates Light. Light in its descent becomes energy. Energy in its descent becomes matter. This is true for all creation. Consciousness is the only reality. If you personally would like to work with the law of creation consciously, it is mandatory that you understand the relationship between the thinking part of the mind and the subjective part. The conscious is personal and selective. The subconscious is impersonal and non selective. The conscious is male and the subconscious is female. The conscious generates ideas and the subconscious receives and gives form to them.
When this interchange is understood, the seriousness of what we allow to be received into the subjective part of the mind is finally understood. This fact is particularly true as children. What a child receives and stores within his subjective feeling nature influences his entire life until this fact is clearly understood by him. Only then can he really be effective in removing unwanted influences. Remember, the subconscious does not originate ideas, the conscious part of the mind is the doer.
Once you understand how this influence actually works, the unwanted impressions can be changed through the power of imagination, feeling and choice. Thinking man has control over creation if he understands how to go about it. The subconscious can be managed through control of one's ideas and feelings. Since the subconscious doesn't reason and only feels, you must start a new creative cycle through changing your feelings and beginning to think and act in a way that will alter the negative subjective influences.

Our Dreams
Our dreams can be actualized if we would be disciplined enough to believe in them. Part of the discipline is to look at ourselves and others in a new way, a way that is beneficial and positive. When we are finally God Realized we do not judge by appearances. The key is seeing others as we desire them to be...only good. We can actually do our part in bringing heaven on earth by seeing and hearing the good.
A Krishna, Babaji, Buddha or Christ Consciousness is alive in every person; it is only asleep. When we begin to see the truth hidden in ourselves and others, we awaken and no longer sleep. Our imagination is a holy and creative womb. Instead of turning to the outer for sought answers, why not turn to the holy Presence within? The perfection we seek is already created. It becomes a tangible reality to us when we call it into manifestation and believe in it as our only truth. We see only our perfect Self.
The goal is to learn detachment from the ever changing mood swings. Instead, make an effort to live in the feeling energy, which knows itself as Divine. By accepting our divinity, we unveil the reality of who we are. Instead of lowering our behavior to subconscious assumptions, let us seek for and evoke the most sublime part of who we really are. When we assume that we are already perfect and only asleep to that fact, our behavior will subtly and unconsciously change reflecting our true essence. Since other people continually observe our subconscious assumptions, why not change the subconscious and assume the best of ourselves? This understanding is a perfect form of prayer for the consciousness of another or for our own peace and balance.
