The Power of the Subconscious and its Achilles Heel

   There are naturally, three different aspects to consciousness, specifically the subconscious mind, the conscious mind and higher consciousness. Each plays a vital role in creating your circumstances. so understanding how the three are interwoven is fundamental in truly harnessing the power of your mind. Being familiar with what is meant by consciousness will go a long way in enabling you to consciously create the reality of your choice. Consciousness is the very foundation of the most powerful resource you have at your disposal - your mind. It is the most familiar, yet most mysterious aspect of your life. Without it you could not experience life. With it, you are eternal.

   Anatomy of the Subconscious Mind: The subconscious is an incredibly powerful program that runs every momentary aspect of your life automatically and without any need for your conscious involvement. Simply put, any thought, message or order that is given to the subconscious often and convincingly/persuasively  enough will within time be accepted as truth and consistently be carried out with exact precision regardless of whether it benefits you or not. The most important thing you must know is that it is subjective in nature. This means that it can not reason or distinguish between positive and negative. thus registering everything in the positive, hence why it would be carried out nevertheless, because it registers in truth and knows not the difference between yes and no.


   
    In The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, Joseph Murphy explains that "when thoughts are conveyed to your subconscious mind, impressions are made in the brain cells. As soon as your subconscious accepts any idea, it proceeds to put it into effect immediately... it draws on the infinite power, energy and wisdom within you. It lines up all the laws of nature to get its way. Sometimes it seems to bring about an immediate solution to your difficulties, but at other times it may take days, weeks, or longer... Its ways are past finding out."


The subconscious mind's inability to reason is not a weakness. In fact it is fundamental to its power. To emphasize on this, imagine if your subconscious had to decide whether or not your heart should pump blood around your body, whether or not to immediately send white blood cells to heal a wound, whether or not to walk each time you consciously wanted to walk.


The subconscious mind's subjective nature is responsible for every function you carry out automatically without conscious thought (unconsciously), from digesting the food you eat to healing a wound to speaking a language to driving your car - ultimately all your habitual actions. It is the storehouse of your memory. It never sleeps any more than your heart sleeps. Were it able to reason, your body would be unable to function and life as we know it could not
exist.
