I would say that just about everyone has heard something about the sub-conscious mind, what it is, and how it works. It is a very interesting piece of computing equipment that we all possess.
The sub-conscious mind stores everything that you see, hear, feel, taste, smell, and think. It records everything, just like a video camera records. Sometimes, perhaps most of the time, you don’t even know that something was recorded.
Have you ever played back a video that you recorded and said, “Hey, I didn’t know that was going on!”
There is too much information that is recorded by our sub-conscious mind to be of use to us on a daily basis, so our conscious mind filters out what we do and don’t want, and that becomes our mental model of the world.
Sometimes we filter out the truth, and have in its place a mistruth that we believe to be true.
It has to happen. There is so much information we try to absorb, and we wouldn’t be human if we didn’t make a mistake now and then.
So the sub-conscious mind takes in everything from our senses, and acts according to our beliefs. What we think is true to us. “What is true?” is a philosophical question that has been around since the beginning of man. Do we know what is true? Most of us would say, “Yes, we know what is true,” and we might.
But it really doesn’t make any difference if something is true or not. It is true for us if we believe it.
And if we believe it our sub-conscious mind will act on what ever we believe to be true. If we believe that we are successful, we are going to be successful.
If we believe that we are failures and don’t deserve success we won’t have success.
Why is this? Because the sub-conscious mind records everything, and it also records what your imagination tells it to be. So if you see yourself a certain way, that is the way you are going to be. Some people don’t even know that what is in their mind is what is going to come to pass.
If you use your imagination everyday, day in and day out, for good and for some purpose, that purpose will be realized.
People will say to me that they had a goal and they put that goal in front of themselves and it didn’t happen. It didn’t happen because they didn’t use their imagination to see themselves at the end of where they wanted to be. Or they tell their minds that they really didn’t want what they thought, but rather something else.
So let us review. The sub-conscious mind records all of your senses, and your thoughts. It acts out what you want it do, because your conscious mind controls what you want you sub-conscious computer to concentrate on. Your imagination will be used by your conscious mind to visualize what you want your future to be: good or bad, right or wrong. Whether you have big dreams or small dreams, it doesn’t matter. Whatever you imagine and believe is what you are going to get.
So here is this fabulous machine that that we don’t consciously use. We think thoughts, but we don’t control our thoughts, and because of this lack of control of what our conscious mind sends to our sub-conscious mind, the machine that runs our body and our future, we go helter skelter in our lives.
Don’t believe me? Do you need to think about breathing when you are asleep? Do you need to think about pumping blood or the many thousands of other bodily functions that need to take place every day? No. They are automatic, and what makes these functions automatic is the sub-conscious mind. Think about how powerful this is. You have a machine that controls everything; even what you want to do in the future. How do you feed it?
We feed our sub-conscious with lack of imagination, and we filter out what doesn’t suit us at the time. This sub-conscious machine, this internal computer, is all-powerful. It keeps you alive when you are unconscious. It records everything your senses take in. It has its own theatre of the mind, in which the imagine plays movies in front of you that will determine what you do in life.
And what do we do with this powerful machine, the sub-conscious? We ignore it and we feed it junk food.
Do this: Put something in your mind that you want to do, see it as a movie on the screen, and allow yourself the time to burn it in your mind, like you would burn information on a DVD. See this movie play in your mind as to what you want in life. Keep it there and play it often. The sub-conscious mind will help you get to where it is you want to be only if you use your imagination and let the rest of your mind be open to any possible thing that comes along.
What do I mean by anything that comes along? Often because we have conditioned ourselves to believe a certain way we don’t have our eyes open to other possibilities that might come along.
Because of our prejudices and narrow thought perspectives we might not see something that other people see.
The world is full of examples of this: flying, the Wright Brothers, Electric Bulbs, Tom Edison, Computers that type, and do other things, Bill Gates, Googling, who knew? My point.
Your sub-conscious is a workhorse, and you need to feed it with an open mind and imagination. There is nothing that the sub-conscious mind will not do for you.
People that don’t believe in God say that their prayers were not answered. They don’t believe. And the sub-conscious mind will only work if you do believe.
Remember Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz”? Glenda the good witch finally shares with her that she had the power to go home anytime that she wanted to. All she had to say was, “I believe, I believe, I believe,” click her heels three times and poof, she would be home.
Dorothy didn’t believe at first. And you have to believe in order to make it come true, whatever it is that you want in life.
Your sub-conscious needs to believe to help you be what it is that you want. It is just that simple. If you don’t believe, you will not receive. But of course it is not that simple, you need more. And that is what we are here for; to help you with the more.
One, you have to understand your sub-conscious mind records everything, including how you feel. Your conscious mind from all of these records determines what you use in your mind, and ultimately what you believe. Your imagination is like a movie that if you play, will come into your sub-conscious mind and be believed by the sub-conscious as the truth.
You see, the sub-conscious mind doesn’t know the truth from fiction. It just stores the knowledge that you put into the sub-conscious. Your conscious mind determines what your truth is, but the sub-conscious can move you in mysterious ways.
Let me give you a simple example. Ever lose something? You try to think, and think and think, where did you put it? Then after exhausting yourself you finally give up. All of a sudden when you where not thinking about what you lost all of a sudden a flash come into your mind, I know where I put it. You go there and there the object is.
How does that happen, it happens because you have allowed your sub-conscious mind to work on its own.
You have the ability to win everyday, in every way, if you program the most important computer that you own, your sub-conscious mind.
Most people don’t program it now. They just let whatever happens, happen.
You need to use your imagination to program the sub-conscious mind. It is yours to use and control through the power of your imagination.
See you next month…
