consider the possibility that you already possess all the things that you need to achieve success. you mind is a two-fold devise-your conscious mind and your unconscious mind. research has shown that the conscious mind "speaks" the language of logic while the unconscious mind "speaks" the language of feelings.
in my time spent googling these two parts of the mind, (i admit, my sources might not be that reliable) i came accross many articles written my doctors, philosophers, self-helpers and authors alike. many have said that the subconscious mind is the seat of the soul and of faith because it deals with emotions. another docotr believes that there is also a higher self which deals with those parts of humanity which cannot be explained by emotions or logic-this "Dr Eric" (one of the authors of The Secret) believes this to be the seat of the soul.
the debate about where the actual human spirit is situated has raged on for centuries-although over the past few decades or longer many seem to agree that is somewhere in the brain.
now, this may sound a little out there but it's an interesting theory nonetheless. consider the possibility that your conscious and subconscious mind create your reality. even if you don't believe it, consider it for a minute. if the idea goes against what you believe, it really shouldn't threaten you to read opposing views.
if this is true, several people have said that the key to unlocking the power of your subconscious is to understand that it does not understand logic.
positive thoughts, manifestations of those thoughts and consequently tangible change in one's life are all achievable. some believe these things are possible through a divine power, some say these things are possible through an untapped human potential. others say your humanity is the very thing holding you back from success-because you seek human success and not spiritual success-thus implying that the physical self and spiritual self, while intertwined, are fatefully opposed.
{while i must catagorically state that this blog is about my own personal thoughts and not the views of all the members of Emerge, i meant what i said in the first blog, that we are about positivity and i'm really just curious about where others stand on the issue].
So a thought occurred to me, about which i am still undecided, that perhaps tangible change is possible through a combination of both-untapped human potential by virtue of the fact that there is divinity in everyone.
the subconscious mind is trainable, some say. you can program it, for lack of a better word, to be a tool to achieve what you want in life, by practicing the emotions that you want to feel when you achieve your goals.
for example, if you desire success in your career, practice the feelings that accompany the success. visualise the success but train your brain to seek out those feelings in your life. (i hope i'm explaining this well enough)
this is because your subconscious does not understand names, places, numbers-logical thought, in other words.
the opposite must therefore also be true. negative manifestations-for example feeling disappointed about not getting a job before you've even gone to the interview will result in a manifestation of that feeling.
whether you attribute these things to science (the law of attraction), God, karma, Jesus or whether you simply like to toy with different theories in the search for the truth about life, i guess the beauty of it is that, as with an untruth-the lie will always reveal itself at some point-so it is with a truth-it will be right in front of you when your heart is ready for it.
