Ancient Times and Healing

People have believed through the ages in a healing power that could restore the body and mind. They believed that under special circumstances the power could be evoked. It was common to believe that it was the priests and holy men who possessed the power. Ceremonies, laying on of hands, incantations, amulets, talismans, rings, relics, images and supplications to God were the means to remove evil and bring about good. In ancient times, the priests in the ancient temples gave drugs to the patient and potent suggestions to the subconscious mind. They used weird and fantastic instructions as well as incense and oils usually out in the open under the moon. What the priest healers were obviously doing is making an appeal to the subconscious mind of the patient. Where medical skill often failed, suggestions worked because it fired the imagination of the patient. The result would be an emotional state, which triggered acceptance and belief.

The Bible mentions that when we pray believe that we receive and it will be done unto us. To be healed, the same steps are required. For instance, yesterday I woke up with a runny nose. It was nonstop. Strange part of this is that I haven't had a cold in about 18 years. Since I was writing about the subconscious this week, I followed my own suggestions. Everything abnormal was cleared by the time we were ready to have dinner. I planted a seed in the subconscious of perfect health and offered thanks assuming it was being immediately taken care of. As Jesus would say, "According to your faith is it done unto you". Faith is accepting it is being taken care of right now even though our reasoning and senses may deny the situation. What we do with our faith in any desire is to co-operate consciously with the subconscious part of the mind with expectancy, deep inner feeling and conviction that the situation will be resolved.

Jesus and other healers have stated to their patients not to discuss the healing because they may be subjected to skeptical and nasty comments from people who are unbelieving. If other people hurl thoughts of doubt and fear at you, the anxiety may undo what the subconscious has done. If there is an internal mental change, whether positive or negative, it will manifest in the body. It is an automatic response. The subconscious mind will respond to your belief whether you are with a healer, alone with your faith or at a shrine. Suggestion will also arouse the imagination and bring about a healing such as drinking a special water, reciting a specific prayer or touching an object that has been blessed. Imagination, expectancy and faith will create a healing. The healing will remain permanent only if you hold firmly onto your belief. This has and will continue to happen to people even if all the clinical tests previously proved negative.

The Perfect Idea of Health

The subconscious mind actually molds the body and what we experience. If a healing is needed, why not make a determined effort to program the subconscious intelligence with a perfect idea of health? You would deliberately create the cause and it will bring forth the healing effect. Perhaps, a statement like the following could be offered. "The infinite intelligence in my subconsciousness mind, the healing presence within me, is now transforming every atom of my being making me whole and perfect now. I give thanks for the healing I know is taking place now. Creative intelligence within me is making the necessary corrections and I am grateful and at peace".

Nothing appears on our body except when the mental equivalent is first in our mind. Inundate the mind with affirmations and we change the body. This is the basis of all healing. Remember, patterns of thought can interfere with the harmonious functioning of the subconscious part of the mind. So, it behooves us to let go, relax and speak to the subconscious telling it to take over in peace, harmony and divine order. All statements must be said with a tone of authority and conviction. Only then will it conform to a command. Actually, we have a wonder-working power within, which will restore us, if we but believe.

The subconscious is always busy working. It expresses, reproduces and manifests according to our habitual thinking. People visit healers and shrines throughout the world hoping to be healed. It is not special waters, ceremonies, prayers, saints or people that do the healing, it is the subconscious responding to belief. The healing power within responds to belief. It is that simple. Belief is a thought in mind, accepting something as true. Many people have been healed of serious illnessess as the result of my laying hands on them and praying. It is the expectancy and faith of the 'patient' who restores the mind, body and soul. Think a moment...if the subconscious mind created the problem as a result of a belief at the moment of creation, then that same creative principle can recreate. If you have an issue in any area, take time out several times a day, relax and speak a statement of truth to your subconscious with conviction. It is a simple way to convey the idea of health, change or whatever is needed to your subconscious. You must do this with discipline and scientific imagination.

Never Say I Can't!

Whatever your conscious mind assumes to be true determines the conclusion accepted by the subconscious part of the mind. If we create a positive premise in our thinking, then we establish an over-all positive future for ourselves. Belief, belief and more belief. If we believe infinite intelligence leads and guides us, it will. If we believe perfect health and balance is our, it will be. If we believe that we are attractive, we are. This holds true for love, abundance and success in any area. If we base our statements on eternal truths and really believe, feel and know that our subconscious mind responds according to our belief, we are winners. As I have said before, focus repeatedly on what it is that you desire to manifest in your life. Always be grateful and you can change for the better any area in your life that you desire. Perhaps you wonder why a few good people have so many problems. The odds can be placed on the action of focusing. An example: Many people who are naturally focused on devotion and service to life, put their own needs aside. Eventually, the neglect will manifest in their lives in one way or another.

We need to remember to care for our own needs, first. This is not selfishness, it is commonsense. As we honor our journey, it behooves us to remember the subconscious mind is wisdom itself and knows the answers to our questions. It will help us be grounded as well as balanced. It is a neutral friend. It will not argue or talk back to us. When we look in the mirror and say, "I am old looking." "I do not have the energy to look for work," "It is too late to find love," "I don't have the right education to get a job," and all the other excuses we create, we block our own good. The result is attracting lack, limitation and ongoing frustration. Affirmations have been around forever. They work if you boldly stay with them and with love and determination state several times a day what you personally need to achieve balance, happiness, health and prosperity in your life. The problem is laziness, doubt and sometimes outright depression. There is a way out of any dilemma. If you keep stating that you are blocked, you will get no answer, no help or responses from the subconscious part of your mind. You see, it has a mind of its own.

First, you must understand that all your vacillating back and forth with doubt, indecision and fear neutralizes any help that could be easily yours. It is similar to standing in one spotand marching vigorously. You are stuck. It is necessary that you relax your mind and body and quietly accept and affirm that the subconscious does know the answer. It will respond if you don't jeapardize the process. You must do this with real conviction. You are what you think all day. If you keep thinking you can't pay your bills, you won't be able to. There is a way out. You can choose to be positive, friendly, lovable, confident, happy, healthy and outrageously rich. The subconscious cannot take a joke. Whatever you think and feel, it accepts as truth and will eventually bring all these things to pass if you stay with the process. Choose to believe that you can be a conscious creator and make things happen now. Never say, "I can't." You are the captain of your subconscious mind and master of your fate. Believe it!

Autosuggestion Means Suggesting Specifics

You can use autosuggestion to remove various fears and other negative conditions. There are also involuntary autosuggestion's such as silent fear thoughts emotionalized and subjectified. If you have a fear of public speaking for example, the following could be done to rectify the problem. Three times a day isolate yourself, relax and close your eyes. Once your mind and body is quiet suggest to yourself, "I am a successful speaker. I am poised, knowledgeable, confident and calm." Repeat the statement slowly, quietly and with feeling from five to ten times at each sitting. Start doing your preparation a week before your actual presentation. It is also a good idea to do it before you go to sleep. When it is time to be on stage, you will present your self and topic exactly as you have programmed your subconscious.

The technique of autosuggestion can be used to restore memory. Instead of complaining and telling your friends that your memory is not like it once was, do something about it. Induce autosuggestion several times a day using the above suggestion and state, "My memory from today on is improving in every way. I shall remember whatever I need to know. The impressions received will be clearer and more definite and I will retain them naturally and with ease. I have heard that people doing this exercise regained full memory in three weeks. The technique can be used for any weakness such as a nasty temper, futility, fear, worry, anxiety and impending doom. So many people are hurting on every imaginable level right now and need to take positive steps so they do not destroy their health. This is simple, costs nothing and is a reconditioning therapy. We must release the mass of negative verbal conditioning that can distort our life pattern or we will succumb to negative energy.

Pay close attention to the negative suggestions in the news and what comes out of the mouth of people around you. We have had enough destructive suggestions from childhood and our teens. So much nonsense directed at us was to control us or instill fear. Many of the remarks directed at us are for the purpose of making us feel, think, speak and act as others want us to and in ways that are to their advantage. Telling someone to file for bankruptcy and that you can't win will cause failure in your personal and social life. Don't listen to other people's fears. Start taking control of your own three times a day in a relaxed state using constructive suggestions as implants directly programmed into your own subconscious mind. There is a form of suggestion called heterosuggestion. It can destroy, actually kill, if a psychic for instance tells you that you are going to fail, lose your business or die at a certain age. Someone close to me was given a negative heterosuggestion as a preteen and it has become a self-fulfilling prophesy. A child who keeps such information to himself allows it to fester and become a reality because youth accepts and gives power to the remarks that come out of the mouths of adults. If the child had given voice to the suggestion, it could have been completely neutralized and dissipated without hurting him.

There Are Not Two Minds

When we talk about the conscious and subconscious, they are terms only. The two are spheres of activity within one mind. The conscious part is obviously the thinking part or reasoning mind. It chooses and makes decisions while the subconscious sphere accepts what is impressed upon it or what you consciously believe. The subconscious mind is the soil which accepts any kind of seed, good or bad. This is why we must really guard our thoughts during experiences of loss, limitation and sorrow. The subconscious part simply responds to the nature of our thoughts and suggestions. There are many successful techniques available to help us clear out the negative impressions in the subconscious but understand they do not always bring about an immediate solution to our difficulties. It could take weeks or longer...

Since the subconscious is incapable of making selections and comparisons, it is very important that we select our thoughts, ideas and premises that will help us and not hinder our peace, prosperity, joy or health. Buddha said for us to guard the gate to the five senses. The conscious mind uses the five physical senses to observe the objective world. We gain knowledge through the five senses. The subconscious or subjective part of the mind works independently of the five senses; it perceives through intuition. In other words, the subconscious is the storehouse of memory, the seat of emotions. It has the capacity of clairvoyance and clairaudience, can leave your body, travel to distant lands and bring back information. It is through the subjective part of the mind that we can read the thoughts of others and know things that the conscious mind has no way of knowing. It cannot argue or reason, only accept any suggestions given to it as being absolutely true.

It is fact to say that everything that happens to us is based on thoughts impressed on our subconscious mind through belief. We can reverse this as you probably already know by repetition of constructive and harmonious thoughts. The subconscious will accept the new thoughts and go about forming better and healthier events in your life. Habitual thinking of your conscious mind establishes deep grooves in your storehouse, the subconscious. This is fine when you are positive. Understanding this process, it becomes very obvious that it is important to offer the creative force within you positive thoughts. Perhaps, it will help you to start thinking of your conscious mind as the "watchman at the gate". The chief function of the conscious mind must be to protect your subconscious sphere from false impressions. Now that I have reminded my self as well as you, let us make an effort to remember this basic law of the mind...the subconscious is amenable to suggestion.

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.

The Master Secret of the Ages

There is a power that can bring more wealth, health, happiness and joy into our lives once we learn how to contact and use it. If things are not working the way you would like them to in your life, you will need to do some thing that you have not tried as yet. There are potentialities within the deeper mind that will take form in the world without through conscious control. Within the subconscious part of the mind you will find the solution for every problem and the cause for every effect. We are constantly being influenced by the subconscious but, the secret is to know how to open the door to that part of the mind and become skilled in practicing the inner powers and knowledge.

You already know that whatever you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as condition, experience, and event. Your subconscious works according to the law of belief. Whatever is the law of your mind is the law of belief. If you do not like what is manifesting in your life, change the laws of your mind. Law, belief, thought and reactions run the subconscious part of the mind. The reactions are your experiences, events, conditions and acts. If we desire to change the inner laws that we have established through experience and acceptance, it is helpful to apply scientific methods that work according to the law of action and reaction.

We have one mind but it possesses two distinctive characteristics...objective and subjective, conscious and subconscious, waking and sleeping, surface and deep, voluntary and the involuntary, the male and the female and many other terms. You are a gardener planting seed thoughts in your subconscious all day long based on your habitual thinking. It stands to reason that if we plant thoughts of peace, happiness, right action, good will, prosperity, self-mastery, success and more, the soil of the subconscious part of the mind will reap the desired harvest. The first order of the day is to take charge of our thoughts since they are the seeds. It is of utmost importance that we control all thoughts. It is only then that we can apply the powers of the subconscious to any problem or difficulty. We become a co-creator, a conscious one, with the infinite power and law which governs all things.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will continue with this subject for the next week or two because people are asking whether they can trust the thoughts that come from the subconscious. What is truth and what is wishful thinking?
