PAGE 7 - THE BRAIN
.....When you have a conscious thought to reach up and scratch your head your arm goes up and scratches your head. No big deal. You would probably be shocked to see the hundreds of messages the subconscious mind had to send out to perform that simple task. The mind is a lot like a giant computer, it stores information. There are some people who think the knowledge of all time is stored in there. All you have to do is tell your subconscious mind what you want, and it will go to work trying to make it a reality. That is, it would if we had not filled it with miles of junk. The problem is that our brain has stored every thought, sound and sight in and around us since before we were born. Your subconscious mind makes no judgment on the information, it merely stores it. Let's say you tell yourself "I am going to be an artist" your subconscious mind will go through a life time of memory banks and pulls up every thing pertaining to you being an artist and a thought will come back almost instantly saying "you can't draw." If during your lifetime you have either said or heard, "I can not draw," one hundred times then the only way you can change the answer that you get back from your subconscious is to tell yourself one hundred and one times that you can draw. Now when you say "I am going to be an artist" the answer that comes back will be "yes, you are!"
It is of paramount importance that what we store in our mind is positive, constructive information that will aid our subconscious in helping us to have a happy, healthy and prosperous life.
Affirmation:
1. The thoughts I store in my mind create a
world in which I feel safe, healthy, happy
and loved. And so it is.
