The
conscious mind has the ability to think. It can accept or reject. But the
subconscious only accepts. It makes no distinction regarding input. If we feed
our mind with thoughts of fear, doubt and hate, the auto-suggestions will
activate and translate those things into reality. The subconscious is like a
databank. The subconscious is like the automobile while the conscious is like
the driver. Of the two, the subconscious is more powerful. The power is in the
automobile but the control is with the driver.
The subconscious mind can work for us or against us. It is
not rational. If we are not successful, we need to reprogram the subconscious.
The subconscious mind is like a garden; it doesn’t care what
we plant. It is neutral; it has no preferences. If we plant good seeds, we will have a good
garden; otherwise we will have a wild growth of weeds. I’d go a step further to
say, even when we plant good seeds, weeds still grow and the weeding process
must continue constantly.
The human mind is no different. Positive and negative
thoughts can’t occupy the mind simultaneously.
In order to succeed, we need to get programmed in a positive
way.
