Brain vs. Mind

When we refer to someone who is smart, we refer to him or her as a “Brain,” as if our brain was the difference in our ability to read or not. The brain is simply and organ, a most wondrous organ no doubt but the brain takes orders from our Subconscious Mind. Our Subconscious Mind controls the brain for all bodily functions while our Conscious Mind handles all our motor skills. Our Subconscious Mind can control our brain to keep us healthy, to make adjustments in our physical abilities, and even to replace damage or lost functions. Our Subconscious Mind determines our fate in life. Many people rose to great heights with little or no formal education and many highly educated walk the street homeless. Our Subconscious Mind, not our brain, can cure a terminal disease.
We have begun to understand the Law of The Power of Positive Thinking. “As a man thinketh in his heart so shall he be!,” has been around for two thousand years yet the vast majority of human beings, probably ninety-five percent of all humankind has no idea of this basic law. You are now exposed to it. How will you use it to make your life better?
Go to Las Vegas, and watch people put money after money into slot machines that are programmed so that the odds are heavily favored to the house. When you ask many people why they gamble, they say because it’s fun, yet, when you look at their faces you don’t see too many of them having fun.
The person who constantly impresses upon their Subconscious Mind that they are unlucky and that fate is against them, compounds the unfavorable odds even more. Look at the person who declares, “I’m lucky, I always win,” and lo and behold more times than not despite the odds, always seems to come home with more money than they went with. Professional gamblers know they are going to win, not every time out, but in the long run, their Subconscious Mind is programmed for success and they win despite the odds. There is a new poker game in town called Texas Hold ‘Em. Thousands of people enter this tournament; yet, invariably it’s the same few who end up playing for the big money. They are not smarter, they don’t get better cards, and they are not luckier. They just believe in their Subconscious Mind that they are going to go home winners. We can do this in our every day life. We must believe we can succeed. We must condition our Subconscious Mind so that no negative thinking can enter our world. We have one big edge; very few people know this and practice it, so to get ahead is not that difficult. Step away from the crowd; be different. Use your resources and control your thinking and any setbacks or temporary failures are just stepping stones to the success of your conviction.

Points to Ponder: Use your resources and control your thinking and any setbacks or temporary failures are just stepping stones to the success of your conviction.

Listen to Yourself

Make a continuous effort to listen more carefully to your inner insights; that little voice that speaks to you above the noise of the crowd. This voice is your private hotline to God. It may come as thought; a daydream, or a sign on a building. You may have dismissed this voice as insignificant; too outrageous, or just hopeful thinking, but if these thoughts seem to persist particularly if they relate to new activities and challenges, then they are not there by accident.
Those tenacious thoughts that won’t go away should be taken seriously. They are thoughts of an all-knowing, infinite Creator who is saying to you, “Why do you keep ignoring the genius that I have created in you? Why do you keep settling for less, when I have great plans for you? You have a unique gift to offer this world, and I have made you unique in the entire history of humankind.”
David Hawkins writes in the book Power vs. Force, “From our studies it appears that the alignment of one’s goals and values with high energy attractions is more closely associated with genius than anything else.” Be a lover of life. Refuse to have thoughts of bigotry; hatred; anxiety; anger, and most important, judgment.
Trust yourself. As a piece of God, your genius will sprout forward and blossom as the springtime flowers. Start with judgment. We are so quick to judge other people because they do not think, act, or talk like us. We want to try to live their lives for them. We see only those things that are different and classify them as being wrong. Look for the genius in others. Pay attention to the greatness you observe in as many people as possible. If at first you don’t see it, then look harder. You cannot see the genius in others if you cannot see the genius in yourself. Simplify your life and rid yourself of complications, meaningless rules, must dos, have tos, and so on. By un-complicating your life and removing the nit picky little details that keep you in constant disharmony, you will open the channel that connects you to the greatest source in the universe.

Today’s Exercise: Take twenty or thirty minutes in complete silence and meditate.
Today’s Affirmation: I have a positive mental attitude, therefore I am a success.
Points to Ponder: If at first you don’t see it, then look harder. You cannot see the genius in others if you cannot see the genius in yourself.

Hypnotism vs. You

Just about everyone has seen a hypnotist at work, usually on a stage or at a party for amusement purposes. Psychiatrists, law enforcement agencies, and other professionals use hypnotism every day to get to the root of a problem or to help a patient with something as simple as to stop smoking.
How do they do it? First, they put the Conscious Mind of the person to sleep. Then they go directly to the Subconscious Mind with a suggestion or command. The Subconscious Mind will act on that command no matter how silly or sincere it is. The hypnotist may go back thirty years and recall what the person did fifty days after their third birthday. The person will remember everything including sounds of a bird chirping, colors, smells, everything. The hypnotist will then wake up the person’s Conscious Mind and the person will recall nothing.
This stage act is the secret to a successful and happy life, however, you can’t very well carry around your own personal hypnotist to put you to sleep every time you need to work on a particular part of your life, but you can, your Conscious Mind can take the place of the hypnotist and your power will be magnified a thousand times because you will be working on your own desires.
The mighty Subconscious Mind is under your control. It will respond one hundred percent to whatever either a hypnotist or your Conscious Mind demands of it. Why would you not believe or take advantage of the most wondrous power endowed to you by God?

Today’s Exercise: Make up your mind today, right now, that you are in complete control of your universe.
Today’s Affirmation: I am enthusiastic and confident.
Points to Ponder: The mighty Subconscious Mind is under your control, and will respond one hundred percent to whatever your Conscious Mind demands of it.

Exercise for the Mind

Just as your body needs exercise to stay in shape, so does your mind. Now, reach out and stretch your mind. Try to comprehend unlimited thought and unlimited supply.
Plant the seed of desire. Nourish it with a clear visualization of the ripened fruit. Water it with sincere faith, but leave the HOW to God.
Open your mind. Keep yourself in a state of receptivity. Gain an attitude in which you are constantly expecting good to happen to you. Don’t listen to those who say it can’t be done.
There is a channel between you and God. It’s called your Subconscious Mind. It’s kind of like your Aorta artery. If your artery gets clogged with garbage, you will die. If your Subconscious Mind gets clogged with negative thinking, fear, or self-doubt, then you become like so many other “walking dead.”
It’s not too late to call “Roto-Rooter”. Clear your thinking. Let go, and let God. You have the same channel to God as every other human being. Close your eyes and stop your thinking. Well, slow it down anyway. Be calm and listen; the next thought you hear will be a message from God. The message is clear: Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and the door shall be open. Why in the world would we try to go through life without using this power?
In order to clear the channel, we need to watch what we put into our Subconscious Mind. Let’s start with TV. The majority of shows on TV are about killing, prejudice, infidelity, or are just plain stupid. I have four hundred channels on my TV, and outside of sports, Discovery, PBS, and the History Channel, the rest are a waste. How about the newspaper? Really want to get screwed up? Well, that’s a good place to start. Music! Music is supposed to calm the savage beast. Music today is the savage beast. You may ask how you are supposed to be entertained? Have you ever heard of a book? You may say that you read. Playboy is not a book.
When you change the things your read, the things you read will change your life.

Today’s Exercise: Turn off the TV for twenty-four hours.
Today’s Affirmation: I am a calm, peaceful and patient person.
Points to Ponder: There is a channel between you and God. It’s called your Subconscious Mind.
