The Power of the Subconscious

by Daniel N Brown

We all have a tape playing in our heads that we do not even
realize is there. This tape is the programming in our
subconscious that keeps us in a condition we are familiar with,
even if it is undesirable.

Are you happy with where you are in life or would you like to
make some changes?

If you find that you don't like where you are in life you must
ask yourself what thoughts you are engaging in that are bringing
about your undesirable circumstances. What is actually going on
in your conscious mind? Are you thinking thoughts of peace,
prosperity, and happiness? Or, are you thinking thoughts of doom
and gloom?



Thoughts are powerful forces of energy and can only come from
your own mind, and we should understand things do not just happen
accidentally. Everything that happens in your life happens for a
reason. Since you are the only one in charge of your mind, you
create the thoughts that create the circumstances in your life.



We must understand that what we ponder and think about sets the
course for our lives, because what we ponder and think about gets
magnified and becomes attracted to us. It's "cause and effect."


Cause and effect says, "Think repetitive thoughts, reap their
physical manifestations."



Most of what we are experiencing in life has been attracted by
our own subconscious minds because these programings are
creating our reality.



You cannot fool your subconsious mind. Whatever you continually
tell it, it will eventually act upon. Any impulse of thought
which is repeatedly passed on to the subconscious mind will
finally be accepted and acted upon, which proceeds to translate
that impulse into it's physical equivalent. The subconscious has
no intellect at all. It only does what it is designed to do, and
that is to follow instructions.


We all have a tape playing in our heads that we do not even
realize is there. This tape is the programming in our
subconscious that keeps us in a condition we are familiar with,
even if it is undesirable.



Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."

This "thinking" is not a conscious thinking as most people
believe. That would be the "thinking" in the mind. Thinking in
the heart is the subconscious. It is the subconscious mind that
controls the automatic things a person does, what he thinks, and
what he attracts.



Most of our current circumstances were birthed from our thoughts,
and at any time we choose, we can change it all. We have both the
ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning
today. God said in Deuteronomy 30:19, "I set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing, therefore, choose life."



I believe God gives us choices to make regarding our own quality
of life. By telling us to choose, He is referring to our thoughts, our
beliefs, and our words. By us choosing our thoughts, beliefs, and
words, we automatically program our subconscious minds through
repetition, for repetition is the key to using the power of the
subconscious.



Have you ever heard it said that if you tell yourself something
long enough you'll begin to believe it? Since this is true, the
simplest way to attract the things you desire is to hold a mental
picture of what you want as long as possible and as often as
possible. Feel that you already have what you desire with
certainty and you will see it become manifested in your life.



Our conscious mind is the source of thought and our subconscious
is the computer that is programmed by it. By a pattern, or habit
of thinking, we program our subconscious mind through repetitious
affirmations and creative visualizations. With this knowledge we are
able to change our circumstances for the better.
