Your subconscious is the powerhouse that creates your world. All that
your world has been, is and will be, is deliberately created and
brought into being by your subconscious. Whatever your life is at the
moment, whatever circumstances you find yourself, all of this, you
have (albeit unknowingly) deliberately created for yourself.
Why would your subconscious create something that is so different to
what you “think” you want?
Well, first you must understand the different ways in which your
conscious and subconscious mind works. Your conscious mind is little
more that a calculator, a word processor or logic engine. It's the bit
of your mind that deals with language and because we can talk to it
with words we tend to think that the conscious is our mind – It's not
– It is merely an interpreter for the subconscious.
The subconscious, on the other hand is your mind. As mentioned earlier
it is the powerhouse that creates your world. When your subconscious
believes that you need something – you will get it, whether you want
it (consciously) or not – end of story. There is nothing you can do
about it.
So why would your subconscious believe that you want to fail? This is
down to the way your subconscious works. It has no knowledge of
language. The subconscious works only with – Feelings, emotion and
symbology. It relies on the conscious to interpret words into feelings
and emotion, but it is an imperfect translation because not all words
can be interpreted emotionally.
So your subconscious, wary of misinterpreting short-term ideas that
come and go on a daily basis, will instead base it's interpretation on
your long term feelings, your chronic thinking patterns and reactions.
From these it builds up it's idea of what it believes you really
want. Your chronic thinking patterns and reactions are what makes up
your attitude to life, and it is from this that your subconscious
defines it's task.
So if consciously you think “I'd like to make a million pounds”, but
subconsciously your feelings are that you don't want to get up early
to do extra work, or that you don't want to stop spending your spare
time slouching on the sofa, or down at the pub with your mates, your
subconscious will pick up on this and think “This man doesn't really
want his life to change, it's my duty to protect him from himself”.
From then on it will guarantee that things stay as they are – even if
this means sabotaging your best efforts.
So the bottom line is this: Your attitude defines your life. To put it
simplistically, a negative attitude will only produce negative
results. To reap positive results you must learn to cultivate a
positive mental attitude. When you have your subconscious on-side,
success is not only possible, it's inevitable.
