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.

Believe in Your Ability

“Faith” is a word that has been misused, misapplied, and misunderstood. To many, it means simply an attitude of mind, which will accept anything that it is told to the mind merely because someone else said it. But, those who have penetrated deep into the meaning of the word “faith’ know it means something far more real than this. To those who understand the law, faith is the contact one rises to meet the forces of life and nature. It is the means for which one receives the inflow of the power that is behind and in all things. Understanding this power allows the ability to apply that power to the running of one’s own affairs.
For you to attain financial success you must first have faith in yourself, second faith in others, and third faith in the Law of Attraction.
What is the law? “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” So simple, yet, so few people know this law. They may have heard of the law in every motivational book ever written from the Bible to Think and Grow Rich, yet many people think success is a matter of luck, winning the lottery, or something that always happens to someone else.
I remember an old story, I’m not sure exactly how it went. It’s something like this. The gods in the story got together one day and they said, “Let’s give every human being the secret to success but, let’s not make it too easy to find or it will be worthless.” One god suggested that they hide it at the top of the highest mountain but the other gods argued that it would be too easy to find. Another suggested that they hide it deep in the forest. They decided that it would still be too easy to find. Maybe they could hide it deep in the ocean. They figured once it was known every get rich quick mentality would rush to it and it would be worthless. Then one of the gods said, “I know a perfect place to hide the secret of success, let’s hide it in their minds, most people will never look there.”
“What so ever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve.”

Today’s Exercise: Recommended Reading: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
Today’s Affirmation: The kingdom of God is within me.
Points to Ponder: “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

Lack of Persistence

I have a personal story about persistence. Ten years ago, I was in partnership with a guy in the debt consolidation business. Anyway, I thought I was a partner so I wasn’t taking any money out of the business. My wife was working in the business as a secretary, just so we had some money for food and rent. My wife, who is a lot smarter than I am said to me one day, “Are you sure you’re his partner? Show me the papers.” I didn’t have any partnership papers, all I had was a handshake, so I asked him to sign an agreement. His answer floored me. He said, “No, we never were partners.” I saw red, told my wife to get her purse, and we walked out of the office.
As it happens, we walked right into the office-building complex’s landlord. I asked him if he still had the office around the corner vacant, he replied that he did. I said, “Good, I want it, but I don’t have the first month’s rent.”
He said, “Oh?”
“I don’t have the last month’s rent either; nor do I have any security deposit.”
He asked, “Is that all?”
I said, “No, do you have any furniture I can borrow?”
To make a long story short, he gave the keys to me and helped me carry two desks and two chairs into the office.
The next day, my “ex-partner” and his secretary came over. They took one look at us and said, “You won’t last two weeks in this business.”
Then, my wife did something I’ll never forget. She jumped to her feet and said, “Look around you. This is the lowest you will ever see us. You don’t know my husband, he never gives up.” Well I had my marching orders. I had no choice but to persist. Ten years later, we are still in the business and it has provided a lifestyle for me, my wife, two sons, and their families that we could hardly dream of. My wife’s conviction and my persistence have provided me with the opportunity to bring this philosophy to you.

Today’s Exercise: Every day, never give up.
Today’s Affirmation: I do only those things that make me successful.
Points to Ponder: Once you have proven to the world that you will stop at nothing, the system gives in and anything you ask for is yours.

The Language of Your Subconscious Mind

Communication is very important in any language. Your Subconscious Mind reacts favorable to straightforward simple commands in the present tense. Your Subconscious Mind takes your thoughts or your “prayers” literally. Affirmations are the prayers of the twenty-first century. For instance: If you say, “I will be happy,” your mind says, “When will you be happy? When you’re ready let me know.” Replace “I will be happy” with “I am happy.” Don’t mistake the brevity of the affirmation as being weak; your Subconscious Mind knows exactly what to do. Here are a few more examples:
I will try to stop smoking.
Replace with: I am enjoying a smoke free life.
I will try to be a better parent
Replace with: I am a good parent.
I wish I had a better job.
Replace with: I am in the right place doing what I need to do at the present time.
I want to be healthy.
Replace with: I am healthy, I eat right, exercise everyday, and get plenty of rest.
I wish I could find someone to love me.
Replace with: I am loved and I love everyone and everything. My true love is searching for me right now and I am ready for his/her arrival.
Ban the following words from your thinking and your vocabulary:

Try: is a whole lot of noise with no results.
Wish: is a lack of action.
Hope: is frustration.
Can’t: is lack of knowing.
No: is lack of accomplishment.

Today’s Exercise: Write the words try, wish, hope, can’t and no on a sheet of paper. Put a big x through them and post it where you can see it every day.
Today’s Affirmation: My Subconscious Mind will make into reality whatever I ask of it.
Points to Ponder: Your Subconscious Mind reacts favorably to straightforward simple commands in the present tense.
