The Miracle of Mind

There is much written about the subconscious mind as it relates to the Law of Attraction, manifesting, healing, happiness, and wealth. There is much less written about the subconscious mind as it relates to poverty, illness, fear, and unhappiness. Throughout my writings, you will see me referring to the subconscious mind and the power it holds in our lives.

Although we may not believe it, it is an undisputable fact that our subconscious mind is working 24/7 either for us or against us.

I’d like to share with you a very interesting analogy of the subconscious mind.

The best description of the subconscious mind I have ever heard:

We will use a large manufacturing plant as an illustration. A big corporation, as you know, has a president and a general manager. Of course, it has many intermediate officers as well: vice-presidents, secretaries, treasurer, etc. For the sake of simplicity, we are only going to think of the president and the general manager.

Let’s assume the corporation in this illustration is an automobile plant.
The president does the planning; the general manager executes the plans.

When a new-model car is being contemplated, the president will make the decision as to all changes to be made. These changes will be given to the general manager. Designers and draftsmen are instructed to put the plans on paper; models are made; the plant is tooled up to create the new designs and on and on it goes. Until finally the first new model rolls off the assembly line bearing all the changes originally planned by the president.

This gives an ideal example of the relationship between the conscious and the subconscious or “creative mind”.

The conscious mind is the president; the Creative Mind is the general manager.
The conscious mind does the thinking, planning, evaluating, etc. The Creative Mind carries out the orders.

Let us assume, by way of illustration, that an individual was just getting by. He managed to keep food on the table and to pay his rent; but there never was any money left over for nice clothes, recreation, or any thing other than the basic necessities.
Suddenly a powerful thought enters his mind. He begins to see himself as a success. He begins to think in terms of “I AM a Success.” All right, what happens?

His general manager—his Creative Mind—accepts the thought “I AM a Success” as an instruction. It is a new model ordered by the president—the conscious mind.
Now then, just as the general manager in the factory would give instructions to his many department heads, so, too, will your general manager—Your Creative Mind—begin sending out messages to his assistants throughout your body.

Your general manager knows that to be a success you must look like one. He will make you more alert; he will put a spring in your step; he will put a look of determination in your eye; and he will put an expression in your voice which rings of success.
But, most important of all, your general manager will direct your thinking so that you will be guided to do the things which will make you a success.

So it goes with all things in our lives. Our subconscious mind is faithfully carrying out the orders it is given. All your experiences, events, conditions, and acts are the reactions of your subconscious mind to your thoughts.

When the thoughts deposited in your subconscious mind are constructive, harmonious, and peaceful, the magic working power of your subconscious will respond and bring about harmonious conditions, agreeable surroundings, and the best of everything. When you begin to control your thought processes, you can apply the powers of your subconscious to any problem or difficulty. In other words, you will actually be consciously cooperating with the infinite power and omnipotent law, which governs all.
