Subconscious Blockages – Part II
A fabulous affirmation I often use is “My subconscious Mind is my partner in success.” I like sharing this affirmation and encouraging my Mind Power students to use it as well, for several reasons. Firstly, by saying “my subconscious mind” we remind ourselves that we do in fact possess such a faculty. The subconscious mind is not some vague new age concept, but a real part of who you are. Saying so over and over reminds you again and again of its existence. Secondly, it’s “a partner.” A partner is someone who helps you accomplish [...]
The Subconscious
We have been designed with not just one mind but two. One mind, it seems, is not enough for what nature and destiny have in store for us. These two minds have very different functions, but they are designed to complement each other, to work together as a functioning team. This complementary work, however, rarely happens, and this is one of the reasons we have problems in our lives. Without harmony in the inner kingdom, there is bound to be dissent and disharmony in the many different ways that life unfolds. […]
How the Subconscious Mind Creates Your Reality
I am coming back from a three-year sabbatical with a depth of understanding of how the subconscious mind creates reality that far transcends my previous understanding. This sabbatical has been very powerful and rewarding for me on many levels. It has allowed me to view myself, my life, and my work from a fresh perspective. You will be happy to know that I hold all three in the highest esteem and am coming back with a renewed commitment to them. I am now in South Africa doing three weekend seminars on the Mysteries of the Subconscious and the Soul, so [...]
Contrary and Innovative Thinking
For many years nineteenth century English physician Edward Jenner worked to find a cure for smallpox. After studying many cases, he reached an impasse in his thinking. Then he reversed his perception of the problem. Instead of focusing on people who had smallpox, he switched his attention to people who never had smallpox. He found that dairymaids rarely got the disease. It turned out that most dairymaids had had cowpox, a similar but usually nonfatal affliction. Cowpox had served to "vaccinate" its victims against the more dangerous small pox. This led to Jenner’s concept of "vaccinating" people. You might [...]
Quantum Leaps in Thinking
My wife Sylvia loves not only the concept of quantum leaps, but the practice of it. She sees no reason to waste time when you know what it is you want. She dives in fearlessly to accomplish goals. She's the type of person who will work all night to finish a project, once she's started it, rather than space it out over two or three days. It's her style and it works for her. I marvel at her ability to get things done. I always rest assured when she is championing or leading a project. I know it will get [...]
Bringing Creativity Into Our Lives
There was a study conducted many years ago that had a profound impact on me; I was in fact staggered by what it had found. The study was a very simple one. The researchers asked a number of seven-year-olds if they considered themselves creative, and ninety-five percent answered that they did. They then asked a number of adults in their early to mid twenties the same question, and only seven percent replied that they thought they were creative. What had happened? How did the percentage drop from ninety-five percent to seven? What had happened to us as adults to change [...]
