How Your Own Mind Works

How Your Own Mind Works


You have a mind, and you should learn how to use it. There are two

levels of your mind—the conscious or rational level, and the subconscious

or irrational level. You think with your conscious mind, and whatever you

habitually think sinks down into your subconscious mind, which creates

according to the nature of your thoughts. Your subconscious mind is the seat

of your emotions and is the creative mind. If you think good, good will

follow; if you think evil, evil will follow. This is the way your mind works.

The main point to remember is once the subconscious mind accepts an idea,

it begins to execute it. It is an interesting and subtle truth that the law

of the subconscious mind works for good and bad ideas alike. This law,

when applied in a negative way, is the cause of failure, frustration, and

unhappiness. How-ever, when your habitual thinking is harmonious and

constructive, you experience perfect health, success, and prosperity.

Peace of mind and a healthy body are inevitable when you begin to

think and feel in the right way. Whatever you claim mentally and feel as

true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring forth into your

experience. The only thing necessary for you to do is to get your

subconscious mind to accept your idea, and the law of your own

subconscious mind will bring forth the health, peace, or the position you

desire. You give the command or decree, and your subconscious will

faithfully repro-duce the idea impressed upon it. The law of your mind is

this: You will get a reaction or response from your subconscious mind

according to the nature of the thought or idea you hold in your conscious

mind.

Psychologists and psychiatrists point out that when thoughts are

conveyed to your subconscious mind, impressions are made in the brain

cells. As soon as your 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 you have gathered in your lifetime to bring about its

purpose. It draws on the infinite power, energy, and wisdom within you. It

lines up all the laws of nature to get its way. Sometimes it seems to bring

about an immediate solution to your difficulties, but at other times it may

take days, weeks, or longer. . . . Its ways are past finding out.

• Conscious and subconscious terms differentiated

You must remember that these are not two minds. They are merely two

spheres of activity within one mind. Your conscious mind is the reasoning

mind. It is that phase of mind, which chooses. For example, you choose your

books, your home, and your partner in life. You make all your decisions

with your conscious mind. On the other hand, without any conscious choice

on your part, your heart is kept functioning automatically, and the process of

digestion, circulation, and breathing are carried on by your subconscious

mind through processes independent of your conscious control.

Your subconscious mind accepts what is impressed upon it or what you

consciously believe. It does not reason things out like your conscious mind,

and it does not argue with you controversially. Your subconscious mind is

like the soil, which accepts any kind of seed, good or bad. Your thoughts are

active and might be likened unto seeds. Negative, destructive thoughts

continue to work negatively in your subconscious mind, and in due time will

come forth into outer experience which corresponds with them.

Remember, your subconscious mind does not engage in proving whether

your thoughts are good or bad, true or false, but it responds according to the

nature of your thoughts or suggestions. For example, if you consciously assume something as true, even

though it may be false, your subconscious mind will accept it as true and

proceed to bring about results, which must necessarily follow, because you

consciously assumed it to be true.

Your subconscious mind cannot argue controversially. Hence, if you

give it wrong suggestions, it will accept them as true and will proceed to

bring them to pass as conditions, experiences, and events. All things that

have happened to you are based on thoughts impressed on your subconscious mind through belief. If

you have conveyed erroneous concepts to your sub-conscious mind, the sure

method of overcoming them is by the repetition of constructive, harmonious

thoughts frequently repeated which your subconscious mind accepts, thus

forming new and healthy habits of thought and life, for your subconscious

mind is the seat of habit.

The habitual thinking of your conscious mind establishes deep grooves

in your subconscious mind. This is very favorable for you if your habitual

thoughts are harmonious, peaceful, and constructive.

If you have indulged in fear, worry, and other destructive forms of

thinking, the remedy is to recognize the omnipotence of your subconscious

mind and decree freedom, happiness, and perfect health. Your subconscious

mind, being creative and one with your divine source, will proceed to create

the freedom and happiness, which you have earnestly decreed.

• The tremendous power of suggestion

You must realize by now that your conscious mind is the “watchman at

the gate,” and its chief function is to protect your subconscious mind from

false impressions. You are now aware of one of the basic laws of mind:

Your subconscious mind is amenable to suggestion. As you know, your

subconscious mind does not make comparisons, or contrasts, neither does it

reason and think things out for itself. This latter function belongs to your

conscious mind. It simply reacts to the impressions given to it by your

conscious mind. It does not show a preference for one course of action over

another.

The following is a classic example of the tremendous power of

suggestion. Suppose you approach a timid-looking passenger on board ship

and say to him something like this: “You look very ill. How pale you are! I

feel certain you are going to be seasick. Let me help you to your cabin.” The

passenger turns pale. Your suggestion of seasickness associates itself with

his own fears and forebodings. He accepts your aid down to the berth, and there your negative suggestion, which was accepted by him, is

realized.
