Spirit Limited In the Flesh : The spirit in man is for the time being bounded by the flesh; the cocoon of man, if you please. The same God spirit which directs in the individual, handicapped as it may be by the fleshly tabernacle, will some time leave the body and go into another and higher sphere of progress, as the butterfly leaves the cocoon. And in that higher plane, where there is no bounds of the flesh, what may the spirit not be able to do?
It may travel to far and distant lands and return in an instant, as our radio vibrations are sent out and caught by the aerials which link in fellowship all the homes of America from Boston to San Francisco. The spirit of man, when freed from the cocoon of the flesh, may have as tiny kernel of limitation as the pure essence of God himself.
So one should not become discouraged by the seeming paradox involved in the necessity of suggestion to a subconscious mind which is omniscient and divine. For whatever you need to do, no one can defy the fact that our subconscious mind, positive affirmation, have great contribution for personal development- as well as the development in spiritual dimension.
So if we would have the subconscious mind work for us we must acknowledge the way nature designed it to work. While it is encased in the cocoon of the fleshly tabernacle, it is amenable to suggestion; and this is the only medium we have to get it to work at such a stage, precisely because this is the present way that God intended it to work. While it is bounded by the flesh, we must work in the fleshly way.
When it is freed from the flesh who may dream or prophesy what laws it will possess or what heights it can reach. We are here now, and the way to get the omniscient part of us to realize and do the wonders of omnipotence, is to work in line with the laws which God has imposed.
Omnipotent and Omniscient : Since the subconscious mind is both omnipotent (all-powerful) and omniscient (all-knowing), it recognizes everything which ought to be done for man's well-being; and if properly directed by suggestion will do it. It will find one's right surroundings, and lead one to his right vocation or profession.
It will choose one's appropriate life mate, and abundance and happiness to him. Its omniscience provides it a thorough comprehension of man's cellular metabolism, glandular secretion, vascular, muscular and nervous activity, and indeed of all things pointing to health and vitality; a knowledge which needs only the guidance of true and intelligent suggestion to make it the omnipotent corrective of every bodily in harmony.
You only possess one mind, but it has 2 totally different functions - and the names generally used to distinguish these 2 different functions are as follows.
1, The Conscious Mind 2, The Subconscious Mind
There are many other terms used. But the 2 listed above, are the ones used most to represent the 2 main functions of your mind.
To help us better understand the conscious and subconscious mind, they may be compared to a tree and its roots...
- You're conscious mind being the tree, which helps you with daily situations like, decision-making, rational thinking, or just simply figuring out what to do and how best to do it.
When we think of 'me' we think of our conscious mind, the mind of which we are fully aware. This part of the mind makes decisions for us and directs our activities; it also analyzes, criticises and even commands us.
- You're subconscious mind being the roots; it deals mostly with the repetitions of learned behaviour. This can be very helpful for you, as it enables you to deal with situations much more easily the next time they arise.
Whatever we see, hear, smell, taste, touch or feel passes through the conscious mind and reaches the subconscious mind where it is stored.
Once you have learned how best to deal with the situation you find it much easier the next time around... this is because you are using information which is already stored.
For instance, once you have learned to ride a bike you don't have to consciously think about it anymore. This is because the stored information will come to you automatically the next time you get on your bike to ride it.
Just as if you were to learn where each letter on your keyboard is - you can now type without looking because you have formed a mental picture in your subconscious mind, of what the keyboard actually looks like.
The above are only two instances (of how the subconscious mind stores up relations of learned behaviour) and we are sure you would be able to find many more examples of this in your everyday life!
Information from the conscious mind gets past into the subconscious mind, and there is a very strong link between the two. It is said that everything you have ever seen, heard and experienced is perceived by your conscious mind, and then stored away into your subconscious mind as a memory.
Not only is this memory stored as the incident itself, but also any feelings which went with it at the time are also stored.
Your subconscious mind does not only store your memories and feelings. It is the maker of all the great ideas you have ever had, and is also the seat of your intuition and creativeness...
Your subconscious also keeps you going without you even being aware of it. It takes care of your bodily functions - your heart beat, and automatically runs such activities as, movement, language, visual perception and a whole host of other processes of your mind and body for you.
It also scans your mind for conflict and distress; assesses your environment for danger and threats, and relays and interprets perceptions, sensations, and feeling... last but not least it is also the storehouse of all your experience and decisions - everything which makes you the person you are.
