medium.
This is how your thoughts become things.
Every thought entertained by your conscious mind and accepted as true is sent by your brain to your solar plexus, the brain of the subconscious mind, to be made into your flesh, and to be brought forth into your world as a reality.
There Is An Intelligence Which Takes Care Of The Body
When you study the cellular system and the structure of the organs, such as eyes, ears, heart, living, bladder etc., you learn they consist of groups of cells, which form a group intelligence whereby they function together and are able to take orders and carry them out in deductive function at the suggestion of the master mind (conscious mind).
A careful study of the single-celled organism shows you what goes on in your complex body. Thought the mono-cellular organism has no organs, it still gives evidence of mind action and reaction performing the basic functions of movement, alimentation, assimilation and elimination.
Many say there is an intelligence which will take care of your body if you let it alone. That is true, but the difficulty is that the conscious mind always interferes with is five-sense evidence based on outer appearances, leading to the sway of false belief, fears and mere opinion. When fear, false beliefs and negative patterns are made to register in your subconscious mind through psychological, emotional conditioning, there is no other course open to the subconscious mind except to act on the blueprint specifications offered it.
The Subconscious Mind Works Continually For The Common Good
The subjective self within you works continuously for the general good, reflecting an innate principle of harmony behind all things. Your subconscious mind has its own will and it is a very real something in itself. It acts night and day whether you act upon it or not. It is the builder of your body, but you cannot see, hear or feel it building, as all this is a silent process. Your subconscious have a life of its own, which is always moving toward harmony, health and peace. This is the divine norm within it seeking expression through you at all times.
How Man Interferes With The Innate Principle Of Harmony
To think correctly, scientifically, we must know the “truth.” To know the truth is to be in harmony with the Infinite Intelligence and power of your subconscious mind, which is always moving lifeward.
Every thought or action, which is not harmonious, whether through ignorance or design, will result in discord and limitation of all kinds.
Scientists inform us that you build a new body every eleven months; so you are really only eleven months old from a physical standpoint. If you build defects back into your body by thoughts of fear, anger, jealousy and ill will, you have no one to blame but yourself.
You are the sum total of your own thoughts. You can keep from entertaining negative thoughts and imagery. The way to get rid of darkness is with light; the way to overcome cold is with heat; the way to overcome the negative thought is to substitute the good thought. Affirm the good and the bad will vanish.
Why It's Normal To Be Healthy, Vital & Strong – It's Abnormal To Be Sick
The average child born into the world is perfectly healthy with all its organs functioning perfectly. This is the normal state, and we should remain healthy, vital and strong. The instinct of self-preservation is the strongest instinct of your nature and it constitutes a most potent, ever-present and constantly operative truth, inherent in your nature. It is, therefore, obvious that all your thoughts, ideas and beliefs must operate with greater potentiality when they are in harmony with the innate life principle in you, which is forever seeking to preserve and protect you along all lines. It follows from this that normal conditions can be restored with greater ease and certainty than abnormal conditions can be induced.
It is abnormal to be sick; it simply means you are going against the stream of life and thinking negatively. The law of life is the law of growth; all nature testifies to the operation of this law by silently, constantly expressing itself in the law of growth. When there is growth and expression, there must be life; where there is life there must be harmony, and where there is harmony, there is perfect health.
If your thought is in harmony with the creative principle of your subconscious mind, you are in tune with the innate principle of harmony. If you entertain thoughts which are not in accordance with the principle of harmony, these thoughts cling to you, harass you, worry you, and finally bring about disease; and if persisted in, possibly death.
In the healing of disease, you must increase the inflow and distribution of the vital forces of your subconscious mind throughout your system. This can be done by eliminating thoughts of fear, worry, anxiety, jealousy, hatred and every other destructive thought which tends to tear down and destroy your nerves and glands – body tissue which controls the elimination of all waste material.
Pott's Disease Cured
In the Nautilus magazine of March, 1917, there appears an article about a boy suffering from Pott's disease, or tuberculosis of the spine, who had a remarkable healing. His name was Frederick Elias Andrews of Indianapolis, now minister of Unity School of Christianity, Kansas City, Missouri. His physician pronounced him incurable. He began to pray, and from a crooked, twisted cripple going about on hands and knees, he became a strong, straight, well-formed man. He created his own affirmation, mentally absorbing the qualities he needed.
He affirmed over and over again many times a day, “I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy.” He persevered and said that this prayer was the last utterance on his lips at night and the first in the morning. He prayed for others also by sending out thoughts of love and health. This attitude of mind and way of prayer returned to him multiplied many times. His faith and perseverance paid off with big dividends. When thoughts of fear, anger, jealousy or envy drew his attention, he would immediately start his counteracting force of affirmation going in his mind. His subconscious mind responded according to the nature of his habitual thinking. This is the meaning of the statement in the Bible, Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole. Mark 10:52.
How Faith In Your Subconscious Powers Makes You Whole
A young man, who came to my lectures on the healing power of the subconscious mind, had severe eye trouble which his doctor said necessitated an operation. He said to himself, “My subconscious made my eyes, and it can heal me.”
Each night, as he went to sleep, he entered into a drowsy, meditative state, the condition akin to sleep. His attention was immobilized and focused on the eye doctor. He imagined the doctor was in front of him, and he plainly heard, or imagined he heard, the doctor saying to him, “A miracle has happened!” He heard this over and over again every night for perhaps five minutes or so before going to sleep. At the end of three weeks he again went to the ophthalmologist who had previously examined his eyes, and the physician said to this man, “This is a miracle!” What happened? This man impressed his subconscious mind using the doctor as an instrument or a means of convincing it or conveying the idea. Through repetition, faith and expectancy he impregnated his subconscious mind. His subconscious mind made his eye; within it was the perfect pattern and immediately it proceeded to heal the eye. This is another example of how faith in the healing power of your subconscious can make you whole.
