James Allen said “As man trinkets in his heart, so he is”. A man is literally what he thinks; his character is the complete sum of all his thoughts, perceptions, and attitudes.

CONSCIOUS MIND

The conscious mind is the part of you that thinks and reasons. Your free will resides here. The conscious can accept or reject any idea. No person or circumstance can cause you to think about thoughts or ideas you do not choose. The thoughts you choose eventually determine the results in your life. All pain, pleasure, and limitation, originate in the conscious mind, or are accepted uncritically from an outside source.

As you accept a thought, it is impressed upon the second part of your personality – your subconscious mind. Thus you become what you think about.

SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

The subconscious mind is the most magnificent part of your mind for it is the power centre. It functions within every cell of your body. Every thought your conscious mind chooses to accept, this part (subconscious mind) must accept. Subconscious mind has no ability to reject.

The part of you operates in an orderly manner. “By law”, it expresses itself through you, in feelings and action. Any thought you consciously choose to impress upon the subconscious over and over, becomes fixed in this part of your personality. Fixed ideas (habits) will then continue to express themselves without any conscious mind assistance, until they are replaced. The subconscious mind knows no limits.

BODY

Although the body is the most obvious part of you, it is also the smallest part. The body is the physical representation of you – the material medium. It is merely the instrument of the mind, or the house you live in. the thoughts or images that are consciously chosen and impressed upon the subconscious (which is in every cell of your body), must move your body into action. The action you are involved in determines your results.

No 1 – Thoughts (mind)

No 2 – Feelings (attitude or emotional)

No 3 – Actions (physical or body or character)

No 4 – Results

To change results, change thoughts, feelings, and actions.

The progress of each individual is totally dependent on the way that individual uses his mind. The proper use of mind mechanics can lead to unlimited achievement, success, and gratification in all areas of life.

The purpose of the conscious mind is to be a goal-setting device that functions through comparison and analysis of available data.

The subconscious mind contains the automatic mechanism designed to execute selected goals.

The body is the physical vehicle through which goals are achieved. The body is effect takes its instructions from the mind.

All human creation originates from the mind. The results you experiences in your life therefore originate from your own mind. Control your mind and you will control your life. Control your mind’s perception of “self” and you control your attitude, and your belief systems. Thus “you are what you believe”.

Every aspects of yourself that is repeated and entertained by the conscious mind and believed to be true will be executed by the subconscious mind in a way that reflects this belief. Developing a positive believing attitude is therefore an important cornerstone in the entire exercise of consciously using the mind to help the human personality be whatever he/she wants to be.

It is important to always focus your mind on the desired end result, not on how you want to achieve it. Your subconscious mind will flash the ideas and the methods onto the conscious mind, often when you least expect it to. Thus, thinking and mind-control determine the person we are and can become.
