So far in this book we have tried to show the structure of the
situation that faces us. We are very suggestible. Each of us has very
complicated conscious and subcon-scious minds. From the latter,
motivations well up and direct us, unhidden and unsuspected. And in
the last chapter, we have noted the various ways in which mental
troubles are approached and handled.
Since our theme, self-hypnosis, is a highly specialized technique,
went clearly to see its place in this entire scheme of things. It is
one kind of self-suggestion; if truly mastered, the most valuable
kind. It originates in the conscious mind, but travels into the
subconscious mind, where it achieves its notable effects. We have
already seen that hidden motives travel in the opposite direction from
the subconscious to the conscious. But in self-hypnosis we reverse the
direction deliberately.
Why we do this? Because whatever originates in the conscious mind can
be controlled before it is sent on its way. And why do we want motives
to operate in the subconscious? Because they work automatically. We
get their beneficial results while our conscious mind is left free for
other things.
There is still another advantage. The subconscious is a source of
great power. If we learn to tape it, we derive tremendous benefit,
arriving at our goals sooner than we would otherwise.
But obviously the benefits of self-hypnosis will depend on what we
tell our subconscious selves to do. These benefits therefore can
scarcely be greater than our wis¬dom. And so, before we study the
specific techniques, we must appreciate the importance of correct self-
analysis. Mental health and mental hygiene are needed as a frame¬work
from which we can then suggest to ourselves the things we need most.
It is foolish to learn any technique of action unless one's goal is
well thought out. We can create in ourselves new conditioned reflexes.
But we should understand just what we want to do with them. We should
have a very clear picture of this "ideal personally" that we are urged
to create exactly what does it include, and what is it sup¬posed to
exclude? If we are vague on this, our programme must need be vague.
