We are made up of two minds, not just one: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. In my book Quantum Warrior: The Future of the Mind, I have given each of these two minds two mythic titles to best describe how they function within us.
The conscious mind carries the titles ‘Weaver of the Patterns’ and ‘Guardian of the Gates of the Subconscious.’ The subconscious mind carries the titles ‘Holder of the Patterns’ and ‘Engine of Success.’
These are not psychological terms that you will find in any textbook, but rather titles that accurately describe the functions and abilities that each possesses.
In this post, we focus on the first and perhaps most important title to understand: the conscious mind as the Weaver of the Patterns.
How the Pattern Weaver Mind Works
The patterns that the mind weaves are patterns of thought, which we now know are patterns of energy. So when you are thinking thoughts, what you are really doing is weaving energy.
Just as a weaver must weave countless threads on the loom before a coherent pattern is established, so too the mind must think (i.e., weave) numerous thoughts before it will form a pattern.
Thinking something once or twice or even ten or twenty times will not make a pattern of energy. But think something hundreds of times over a period of weeks and months, and a very clear pattern begins to form.
This is I teach students of the Mind Power program to train daily to “weave” the patterns of thoughts that they wish to communicate to their subconscious.
Our Conscious and Subconscious Minds Work Together to Create Our Reality
While the conscious mind is ‘The Weaver of the Patterns’, the subconscious is the ‘Holder of the Patterns.’ Whatever pattern of thoughts our conscious mind regularly repeats, whether it is positive or negative, will eventually make a permanent imprint on our subconscious if we repeat it daily.
One of the main ways we reach the subconscious is through clear images and instructions that are repeated many times so that the patterns can be accurately transmitted to our subconscious. Repetition is the key, and eventually, through repetition, the subconscious will integrate and accept these patterns. When this happens, they become a permanent part of who we are. This is why we call the subconscious ‘The Holder of the Patterns.’
If you’re only going to take away one thing from this article, remember this: the key to reaching the subconscious is repetition, and this gives us incredible power to create in our lives.
