The power of your subconscious mind
Many years ago, author Joseph Murphy, coined the now hugely popular phrase, “the power of your subconscious mind’ in the title of a book.
He talked about secrets and powers of the mind that for most people might still seem to be a fantasia.
However, many years on, and with the very popular self help movie, The Secret - inspired by the work of Esther & Jerry Hicks and their in-depth materials on the Law of Attraction - many concepts Joseph Murphy made accessible, have now entered popular jargon.
Once a topic has been on the Oprah Show – The Secret appeared on Oprah twice in 2007 – when you can be rest assured it has entered mainstream discussion (and criticism).
The term ‘subconscious mind’ is referred to by other terms like the unconscious mind, universal mind, Source Energy, as well as traditional terms like God or Spirit (which have the disadvantage of carrying a lot of ‘baggage’ associated with religion and religious zealots).
However, the now popular term, the Law of Attraction, is the most recent way of referring to the ‘subconscious mind’ and its immense creative power.
What is so important about the subconscious mind or the Law of Attraction?
A study of this topic reveals that instead of power to control your life and destiny residing outside of you (for example some benign being designing our destiny) – the power is within you and has always been within you.
It’s just that somewhere along the way (from early childhood to adulthood) you/we forgot that we are innately powerful, wondrous beings capable of great things. That’s where religion has gotten some bad press with its teachings along the lines that everyone is born an unworthy sinner. Sheesh – how did we fall for that line of thought? (I digress).
The subconscious mind responds to your imagination, belief, self image and expectation
It uses these ingredients to fulfill your desires small and large – whether consciously stated or unconsciously desired. Whatever you imagine with belief (faith) and expectation comes about in your experience.
However many think that this is ‘serious work’. And then wonder why they aren’t getting the results promised. However, a vital key here is to be light and relaxed about the outcome you seek. To want it, but not to want it desperately! Desperation actually is a cover for lack of belief or expectation. And the subconscious mind is literal and neutral. It simply responds to certain indicators like imagination, belief and so forth.
When you genuinely expect something to come or happen it’s as easy and relaxed as ordering a meal at your favorite cafe and knowing and expecting the order to arrive in a timely manner.
An understanding and application of the fundamental principles involved in this topic has the potential to totally transform your life and experience in a way that’s great fun as well as a joy.
