The gateway to the subconscious
Our subconscious mind is the part of our mind that contains our thoughts, sense experience and emotions that we have been through since we were born. It is the storage facility of our consciousness. The subconscious never forgets (unless it is overwritten), and it is the storehouse of memory. The things we attract in our life is the thought contents that are still operating on this sub-level of our mind. Our life is our subconscious mind pushed out, or projected outwards. Our task then, to be creators who shape our own destiny, is to find effective ways to influence our subconscious.
The subconscious, although powerful, intelligent and vast, is the feminine aspect of our mind. It is submissive to command of our conscious mind. Our conscious mind or logical mind, is the decision maker. But too often we go in life confused because we are influenced by the limitations reported to us by our 5 senses. We become reliant on facts. We see limitations and obstructions. If we are unaware of the unlimited powers and capabilities of our subconscious mind, we will not be open to the possibilities that outside the knowing of our limited 5 senses.
Our 5 senses are confined by space and time. We cannot see, hear, smell, touch, taste anything that is outside of this present moment. Our conscious mind knows only the information that it has gained from the 5 senses in the past and present. Anything outside of that is not accessible by the conscious mind. The task we should ideally give to our conscious mind is the part of the decision maker. “What do you want?”
But how do we get to the destination? How do we achieve the goal we have set? If the steps are clearly known and logical, then the task can be taken up by our conscious mind. But most of our goals are so far fetched from our current limited view, that it becomes an overwhelming task of bring the right target, the right place, the right person, the right event, right timing – all of these need to be synchronized to open up the doorway to the fulfillment of your goal. That big task can never be organized by your conscious mind. You have to leave it to your subconscious.
For those who have not yet learned to focus their thoughts and attention, or to meditate, the convenient way to influence your subconscious is right before you sleep at night. By impressing your subconscious with your goal and target, you are give it 6 to 8 hours to work on your goal without the interruptions and doubts from your conscious mind. While you sleep, your conscious mind is in a state of rest. Very often, one good sign that your subconscious is working on a goal is when you start to dream about your goal. If in your night dreams you find yourself in the achievement of your goal, it is often a very good indicator. For example, in 2005 I wanted to get an apartment in the city center right in the heart of Sydney. I did my mental work and one month later, one morning I had a dream that I was living in a different apartment, with long narrow entry and cream coloured walls. That day in the afternoon, through a series of coincidences and what you would call ‘fate’, I found an apartment with all the characteristics I wanted – right in the city center, high level with terrific views of the city and water and lower than market rent. Most amazingly, when I stepped into the apartment, as I looked back to the entry door that I just came in, it was the exact scene I saw in my dream that morning – an entry door at the end of a narrow hallway, with cream coloured walls.
