The Two Parts of Your Mind
Let me start with this simple proposition: You are not a body with a mind, Rather you are a mind with a body. Take heed and remember this, it is the cornerstone to of all that you are and will become.
You are mind; your mind is who you are. It is not your body, no matter how beautiful or pathetic it may be, that defines you; it is your mind. As a little proof have you ever seen the really buff guy who can’t seem to get or keep a girlfriend? Is it because he is ugly? No it is usually because he has no personality, his mind says he is pathetic and even though his body is in perfect shape he is such a dreadful person that he has hardly any friends, much less girl friends.
You are what your mind thinks you are. However there is a twist, the mind actually has two parts. The one we are all familiar with and know best is the conscious mind. This is the part we use to think and it takes in information through your sense of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. It is highly effective in making your daily decisions. When you perform any conscious act, such as pick up a pen, go somewhere, make a phone call, etc. it is your Conscious Mind that sends those orders to your body. Then when you go to sleep, your Conscious Mind also goes to sleep.
The other part never sleeps. This is the Subconscious, or Creative Mind. Your Creative Mind literally keeps you alive. It is responsible for the involuntary life functions such as your heart beating, eye blinking, and breathing. It has the control over your glands, internal organs, and even your cells. It is the master regulator of your body. It also controls your character, your inmost drives, and your deepest and most secret desires!
What most people do not understand is the Creative Mind also governs the Conscious mind. In other words; a person is what their Creative Mind says they are!
What you think is what you are. You give commands to your Creative mind all the time, and eventually these commands become part of your personality. Have you ever said “I can’t remember” when a fact does not readily come to your conscious mind? Then a few hours or even days later out of nowhere the answer comes to you and you smack your head saying “Now I remember”. What you have done is issue your creative mind a command “I can’t remember”, and so your creative mind follows its orders and presto you can’t remember. Whenever you give your creative mind a command it will obey and cause you to do the things you have commanded to make happen.
What you say instead is; “It will come to me in a moment”, this gives your creative mind a command that it will follow and then shortly you will remember. Have you told your self or others that “I just can’t concentrate”? Guess what? You have given your subconscious a command and it obeyed make you unable to concentrate. Instead if you tell your self “I will concentrate on this thing for a while” you suddenly find yourself able to concentrate. The examples are as endless as there are people in this world.
Instead of saying “I can’t” say “I will” instead and you will see your life improve in so many ways you will be amazed that you even survived this long without knowing this simple truth.
Be Blessed
