Kindle Notes & Highlights
Your subconscious mind accepts what is impressed upon it or what you consciously believe. It does not reason things out like your conscious mind, and it does not argue with you controversially.
Your conscious mind is sometimes referred to as your objective mind because it deals with outward objects. The objective mind takes cognizance of the objective world. Its media of observation are your five physical senses.
Your subconscious mind is oftentimes referred to as your subjective mind. Your subjective mind takes cognizance of its environment by means independent of the five senses. Your subjective mind perceives by intuition. It is the seat of your emotion and the storehouse of memory.
The suggestions of others in themselves have absolutely no power whatever over you except the power that you give them through your own thoughts. You have to give your mental consent; you have to entertain the thought. Then, it becomes your thought, and you do the thinking.
Your subconscious mind never sleeps, [and] never rests. It is always on the job.
Your subconscious mind is the source of your ideals, aspirations, and altruistic urges.
Your subconscious seeks to preserve your life and restore you to health at all costs.
Your subconscious mind is like a bank, a sort of universal financial institution. It magnifies whatever you deposit or impress upon it
A young man asked Socrates how he could get wisdom. Socrates replied, “Come with me.” He took the lad to a river, pushed the boy’s head under the water, held it there until the boy was gasping for air, then relaxed and released his head. When the boy regained his composure, he asked him, “What did you desire most when you were under water?” “I wanted air,” said the boy. Socrates said to him, “When you want wisdom as much as you wanted air when you were immersed in the water, you will receive it.”
Your subconscious mind never grows old. It is timeless, ageless, and endless. It is a part of the universal mind of God which was never born, and it will never die.
