You must remember that the conscious and subconscious 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 that 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 vital functions of digestion,circulation, and breathing are carried on by your subconscious mind through processes independent of your conscious control.
Your conscious mind accepts what is impressed upon it or what you
consciously believe. It does not reason things out as your conscious mind does, and
it does not argue with you controversially. Your subconscious mind is like a bed of
soil that accepts any kind of seed, good or bad. Your thoughts are active; they are the seeds. Negative, destructive thoughts continue to work negatively in your subconscious mind. Sooner or later, they will emerge and take shape as an outer experience that corresponds to their content.
Remember, your subconscious mind does not engage in proving
whether your thoughts are good or bad, true or false. It responds according to the
nature of your thoughts or suggestions. For example, if you consciously assume that
something is true, even though it may be false, your subconscious mind will accept it
as true and proceed to bring about results that must necessarily follow because you
consciously assumed it to be true.

Why do so few people seem to have most of the world’s resources and riches while the rest toil and struggle just to survive? Have you ever wondered why some people just seem to magically attract and attain their dreams effortlessly, while others try so hard only to eventually fail?
Just what is this mysterious magic that they know?
It’s not that they are smarter than the rest. Sure, there are people who are smart and successful, but there are also people who are smart and unsuccessful. The truth is that you don’t have to be talented or extraordinarily intelligent to succeed.
So what’s the missing secret behind getting the life that you know you deserve?
Some people may say that luck has something to do with it.
I’m sure you’ve heard people say “He was at the right place at the right time” or “She was just lucky”.
Actually, there is no such thing as luck.
Luck is just the receiving of goodness in your life that you don’t have an explanation for.
The truth is that everything that you have in your life is because of your subconscious mind.
The subconscious is the single most powerful part of the human mind.
Let’s look an example of this.
Have you ever gone to bed at night wanting to wake up at a certain time? Perhaps you had to get up for an important job interview or run an errand? Even if the time that you wanted to get up was totally different from your usual waking up time, you’ll find - if you held your intention properly - that you generally awaken right on the dot.
Why does this happen?
It’s an operation of the subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind knows everything including what time you wanted to wake up.
You may ask, “Okay, if my subconscious mind knows everything why don’t I know it too?”
Good question.
You can imagine your subconscious mind like a never-ending filing cabinet.
Like any filing cabinet, in order for you to get to the file that you want, you first have to consciously direct yourself to the location of that file and then you can pull it out.
It’s a similar process when you want to access your subconscious mind.
If you want to wake up at 6am instead of 10am for an important business meeting, you consciously give yourself a strong suggestion to wake up at that time. This suggestion speaks directly to your subconscious. As a result, you wake up at the right time.
That’s quite impressive as it is. But it gets better. Think about this…
When you travel a long distance, your time zone changes. Imagine you go to sleep and tell yourself you want to wake up at 5am the next morning but this time you are on an airplane, and so you’re traveling fast across the world while you sleep.
So let’s say you go to bed in Eastern Time and you’re traveling to Central Time, which is an hour behind.
The amazing thing is that you still wake up at 5am in the new time zone. Your subconscious has automatically compensated for you being in a new time zone. That’s how marvelous your subconscious mind is.
This illustrates that the subconscious is very complex and all-knowing.
It is actually the divine part of you inside but it is under your control. It does not argue, it does not judge, it just does.
You can compare it to the old story of the magic Genie in the bottle. Most people remember the Genie granting three wishes. But what most people don’t know is that in the original story of the Genie, there were an unlimited number of wishes. The Genie just said “your wish is my command”.
The Genie is like your subconscious. Because your subconscious does not argue or judge, it is very sensitive to your suggestions. If you give it suggestions such as fear, worry, doubt, sorrow, or thoughts of poverty then you are programming it to bring you more of that.
Some people believe that life just randomly happens to them - this is simply not true.
This entire Universe operates on absolute precision. This doesn’t always mean that you and I are going to understand all the details of how it works, but it does mean there is exactitude behind everything that exists and happens.
The mistake many people make is giving up control of their lives to some external person or thing.
Too many people blame something outside of themselves for their problems. They blame a devil or a god, their mother-in-law, their spouse, their sister, their brother, their boss…the list goes on and on.
The truth is that if there is something in your life right now that you don’t like, you are responsible for it.
Is that hard for you to hear?
This doesn’t mean that you sat there and wished for it on purpose. Consciously many of us don’t even have a clue that we are creating certain conditions in our lives. This is because it is a subconscious (or unconscious) part of us that is responsible.
Having read this, you may now feel a little fearful of your subconscious. You may even find this information hard to believe.
That’s okay…just read on for now with an open mind and you’ll feel better when you understand a little more. You’ll see that your subconscious (and therefore your entire life) is actually completely under your control.
There is a divine part in each of us that is much more powerful than we are consciously aware of.
In the Western World, a great symbol of that divinity in humans is the story of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now whether you believe in the Christian religion or the Bible is irrelevant. Perhaps you believe in a completely different religion such as Buddhism or perhaps you don’t believe in any of it.
It doesn’t matter to the point I am trying to make. It is worth looking at the symbology that this story of Jesus Christ represents on a subconscious basis.
The story of Jesus is that he was half man and half god. He was the mixture of humans and the Almighty God deity in the Universe. He performed the “impossible” throughout his life, healing the sick at the touch of a hand, raising the dead, and in the end he transcended even death itself.
In the Bible there are many passages where he is quoted as telling his followers that they would do greater things than he did.
Today many people get caught up in heated debates about whether or not Jesus existed. This is not relevant here, as I am more concerned with the idea than the person.
The story of Jesus gives us the understanding that we are more than just mere humans and that we have the power to do, be or have anything that we want.
The truth is that we are a mixture of flesh and “spirit”. You could call it God spirit if it feels comfortable to you or you can call it the Universal Mind. The label you use really doesn’t matter at all. Whatever feels right to you, use that…we are speaking about the same thing.
