OUR MIND IS A CREATIVE MASTERPIECE
The most complex mechanism known is the MIND. This creative masterpiece is an invisible computer of infinite power. We know something about the mind but not what it is. No living person can explain in exact terms what the mind is. The mind is infinite and being so, cannot be encompassed.
Down through the ages a few forward thinking individuals have exercised a greater degree of mind power than their fellow man and in so doing, have raised the consciousness level of all men.
The ‘mind’ stands as an ever present challenge to ‘all of us’ to attempt to understand our being and in so doing, reveal the mysteries of ‘self’. If we fully explore the powers of mind and diligently apply known cosmic laws pertaining to our existence, we can soar to greater heights of personal accomplishment, prosperity and happiness. Control of behavior, mood and learning is no dream of the future. It is here now, if we so desire to meet the challenge and take of a creative masterpiece that resides within.
The greater truth you can know about success is that you can control tour destiny by governing your thoughts. What you take change of your thoughts you become master of your existence.
THE KEY TO LIFE IS WITHIN THE MIND
The power of the human mind is almost beyond belief. Dr Norman Vincent Peale, author of the best seller THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING and pastor of marble Collegiate Church in New York City, is often quoted as saying: ‘There is enough atomic energy within man’s mind to blow up the city of New York.’ The enormity of this hidden mind power staggers the imagination, for if this ‘force’ were to be fully harnessed and used by all amen, think of the wonderful technical and social progress that could be made.
It has been estimated that man uses less than 10 per cent of his mind’s potential. Albert Einstein, a recognized genius in his field, used less than 15 per cent. There is a wealth of power within, yet, man wastes 90 per cent of this power. When man learns to apply even a fraction of his true creative ability, he cannot help but succeed, for the ‘real’ things of life are put within his grasp: Peace, harmony, happiness, health security and prosperity. These pleasure of life are not to be found ‘within’ but ‘within’, for they stem from the deep self of man. Life’s riches are within the mind. There is a gold mine ‘within’ from which every man can draw all that is necessary for abundant living.
SUCCESS IS A STATE OF MIND
You have a first-class mind geared to efficiency but your mind will not operate successfully unless it is used correctly. If you clutter and jam your mind with false impressions and beliefs it will react in exactly the same manner as a computer fed with wrong information. Your mind operates in the same manner as a finely constructed machine. This more you know about your mind the better will be your sense of direction. The less you understand, the less will be your progress and success.
Success is a definite state of mind affirmative state of mind. Failure is also a specific state of mind negative state of mind. It is a appropriate to label failure ‘disease’ of the mind, for it manifests poor health, insecurity, poverty and a dozen or so other undesirable conditions.
WE ARE ALL MENTAL TELEPATHISTS
Without realizing it consciously, all of us are involved in mental telepathy at various time during our lives. Between friends and loved ones who are apart there is often a silent communication of thoughts and feelings which can be ‘picked up’ by means of ‘tuning in’ to the mental vibrations of the other. Sometimes these mental impressions are vague, yet they are there and can be ‘felt’.
As a further example of mental telepathy, consider the number of times, either at home or at work, you have thought of a friend or a business acquaintance when at that moment the phone has rung and that very person you were thinking about was are part of and use a universal mind common to all men.
WE ARE ALL PART OF ONE MIND
The mind cannot be seen. It is invisible and it is infinite. No man has seen the mind, therefore, it is invisible no man has been able to isolate it within the body of man. All that is known about the mind is what it does, not what it is.
When we speak of ‘mind’ we speak of consciousness or thought, perception and awareness. Although there are three areas of the mind, there is only one mind and it is common to all men. It is Universal mind, the origin of everything. Universal mind is first Cause. It is God. Through Universal Mind there is energy and through this energy everything lives. Man’s intelligence functions through Universal Mind at the level of his concept of it.
Universal Mind is an infinite Power that does need to be coerced into action. We do not create this Power, it is ever present, ever ready to work for us by working through us. When we select affirmative thoughts, this Indwelling Power responds by projecting our thoughts in an affirmative way resulting in affirmative external conditions. All thought has its birth in Universal Mind. We are all part and parcel of Universal Mind.
THE THREE KINDS OF MIND
There are three known levels of the mind but only one mind. The first level is the objective or conscious mind which is also called the originator. The second level is the subjective or subconscious mind. The third level is the High Self or super conscious mind.
The brain is not the ‘thinker’. The mind thinks and perceives and uses the brain as its instrument. With the conscious mind man is able to rationalize. With the subconscious mind the man is able to store man all that he has rationalized and bring it back at any required time as memory. With the super conscious mind man is able to ‘tune in’ to a power greater than himself and experience a high degree of consciousness.
(1) THE CONSCIOUS MIND OF MAN
The conscious or objective mind is the thinking mind and the Spirit of man. Conscious mind has the ability to rationalize, but not to remember. The conscious mind cannot be hypnotized.
The conscious mind, being the reasoning mind, makes daily decisions such as the selection of cloths to wear, the type of food to be eaten, the papers and books to be read, etc. All decisions are made by the conscious mind. It gains knowledge by making use of the five senses: touch, smell, sight, hearing, taste. Whatever is rationalized and accepted in the form of ‘belief’ by the conscious mind is than passed to the subconscious where it is stored as information for future recall by the conscious mind.
The conscious mind cannot remember a though once it has let it go it must rely on the subconscious to bring it back in the form of memory. The conscious mind acts as a sieve, sifting information, forming impressions, creating ideas and making decisions. Thoughts formulated in the conscious mind and passed to the subconscious for ‘processing’ shape destiny.
(2) THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND OF MAN
The most receptive time for planting affirmative idea into the sub conscious is when in a completely relaxed sate and ready to go off to sleep. This drowsy state lasts for approximately five minutes and should be each night for implanting affirmative thoughts of health, happiness and prosperity into the deeper mind.
(3) THE SUPER CONSCIOUS MIND OF MAN
From time we experience ‘great moments’. We display what might be called ‘creative genius’ in some from or another. We are exalted; everything seems ‘right’. To experience this consciousness is to experience the power of the super conscious. This state of tranquility and creative accomplishment does not always last because we are unaware of what is really taking place within the mind. There is principle operating, But we do not know how this principle operating, but we do not know how this principle performs, thus leaving us at a loss to make it work on a regular basis.
