Mind Power - The Incredible Strength of the Subconscious

[Lorraine Hancock]

A child once asked God, "God what's a million dollars like to you?"
God said, "Son to me a million dollars is like a single penny."
The child said, "God what's a million years like to you?"
God said, "Son to me a million years is like a single second."
The child thought for a minute and said, "God can I have a million
dollars?"
And God said, "Sure you can son, wait just a second."
Many times I have asked the universe to deliver my desires to me. I
have assumed that the universe was not hearing my request because
those specific desire did not exist in my life. Shame on me, wait just
a second.
I had an interesting experience this morning. As I was about to get on
a tractor to start planting food for the wildlife on my property, I
looked at the sunrise, smelled the air, heard the crickets, and was
overwhelmed with deja vue.
deja vue has always been an interesting phenomenon to me. In the past
I've been able to let my rational mind put deja vue in the "this can't
be God basket" that I confidently named Coincidence.
But this morning was different. The deja vue stayed top of mind and my
rational brain pondered, "I wonder what this is all about." Of course
my rational brain immediately starting throwing out answers that
seemed believable but just wouldn't gain traction.
As the day progressed I began to "zone out" to the hum of the diesel
engine and the monotony of traversing the same ground over and over. I
reached a deep trance state and unbeknownst to me at the time, clarity
was forming in this alpha state of consciousness.
I had to re-fuel the tractor and this re-direction brought me back to
an alert state. Then it hit me like a tornado in Oklahoma... The deja
vue I experienced was eerily similar to the vision that I had
maintained years ago while trying to manifest the land I desired.
I went home that night and pulled my written goal file. In 1999, 2000,
2001, and 2002 I wrote the following: "I am grateful that I own 400
acres of land dedicated to wildlife habitat and management in the
Arkansas River Valley."
From 2003 forward this goal was no longer written. I reflected on the
information that was contained in this file and the following occurred
to me:
* I own 320 acres of land managed specifically for wildlife on an
Island in the Arkansas River. And I'm currently considering the
purchase of an adjacent 80 acre parcel.
* When I began manifesting this dream of land ownership many years
ago, I would smell the air, hear the crickets, and see the sunrise as
I was getting onto a tractor--just like my deja vue.
* I spent an enormous amount of time and energy focusing on my vision
for the first three years after I wrote down my goal of land ownership
and management.
* About three years into hanging onto this vision I became frustrated
and began to focus on what I did not have.
I am hypnotized by society's cry that we should have everything right
now. Trying to force our goals can cause us to become frustrated and
lose our vision. It is absolutely possible to live in "the now" and to
manifest for the future simultaneously.
There is massive value in allowing our subconscious mind to answer
significant life questions. I am convinced that putting our vision
into the subconscious mind always pays massive returns.
As I went to bed that night I wished that the wheat I planted for the
wildlife would germinate quickly and provide forage this fall. Of
course as I started to drift into that alpha state I heard, "Wait just
a second."
