Study Notes
Mind Power and Control
- Mind is the most mysterious and awe-inspiring, yet least understood and abused, gift of nature and the Creator.
- It's the instrument through which man interacts with life and the citadel of the soul, connecting man with Infinite Intelligence.
- Mind allows for direct communication with infinite intelligence and solutions to problems, hopes, dreams and aspirations.
- Man has complete control over their minds—a prerogative not usurped by the Creator.
- Success, failure, and frustration stem directly from how one uses or neglects their mind.
Mind's Departments
- Mind functions like a well-organized business, with nine departments.
- Some departments function automatically, while others are under individual control.
Faculty of Will
- The "big boss," initiating control over thoughts.
- Implements decisions, regardless of effect, and its power grows with usage.
Faculty of Reason
- The mind's "presiding judge."
- Judges ideas, aims, desires, and circumstances, but its judgment can be overruled by will or emotions.
- Important to use reason above emotions for soundest decisions.
Faculty of Emotions
- Significant driver behind actions, impacting decisions and activities.
- Love, while potentially spiritual, is dangerous if not properly moderated by Reason and Will.
- Accurate thinkers carefully consider and control emotional responses, crucial for wise decisions.
Faculty of Imagination
- Architect of the soul, shaping destiny.
- Facilitates interstellar travel, air and sea conquests, and idea generation.
- Combining fantasy and realism facilitates transformative industrial empires and societal change.
- Potential for powerful ideas, but unbridled imagination is harmful.
- Source of hypochondria, or imagined illnesses, yet also potentially remedial to physical ailments.
- Requires constant monitoring by Reason and Will.
Faculty of Conscience
- Provides moral guidance and processes aims and purposes, and warns of misalignment with nature's moral laws.
- A functioning conscience provides access to faith for achieving aspirations.
Five Physical Senses
- Brain's physical "arms" gathering external information.
- Not always reliable, demanding constant supervision by reason and will, especially during strong emotions.
- Emotional states often confuse and impair the sensory systems.
Faculty of Memory
- "Filing cabinet" storing thought impulses, experiences, and sensations.
- Can be unreliable without discipline and a system, but treatable through training.
- Reliability results from organized "filing clerk" management and training.
The "Sixth Sense"
- Mind's broadcasting/receiving station.
- Automates thought and intelligent vibration exchange between minds and unseen guides, and medium of telepathy.
Subconscious Mind
- Switchboard enabling direct contact with Infinite Intelligence.
- Processes ideas, plans, and hopes without distinction between positive or negative.
- Highly responsive to emotional states like fear, anger, belief, and faith.
- Amenable to conscious mind influences, but conscious fears and limitations impact it.
- Doctors sometimes use suggestible therapeutics to access and direct the subconscious during sleep (e.g., hypnotism).
- Can follow recorded instructions while asleep using a specific mechanical device (phonograph-based system).
Thought and Creation
- Thoughts mirror and shape reality, creating their physical equivalents—thus, thoughts, like habits, create things.
- Every thought emits an ongoing vibration impacting the thinker.
- Thought energy is derived from infinite intelligence.
Mind Conditioning for Unpleasant Experiences
- Mind conditioning targeted at the subconscious, achievable via fasting (to increase subconscious sensitivity).
Procedures for Conditioning
- 3-7 day fast under physician supervision, including a gradual return to normal eating habits.
- Auto-suggestion statements aiming to boost confidence, and disassociation from current fears, focusing attention on desired objectives.
- High emotional states enhance impact on the subconscious.
- Important to follow instructions closely for positive outcomes.
Benefits of Fasting
- Builds bodily resistance, aids breaking of bad habits (smoking, caffeine, alcohol), strengthens spiritual connection with its powers, helpful for mental imbalances, and increases subconscious receptiveness to directives.
- Improved memory recall, self-confidence, and possible elimination of specific ailments (e.g., influenza) via concentrated subconscious direction.
Belief and Success Stories
- Belief plays a significant role in achievement; examples of influential figures illustrating belief's impact on success highlighted.
Lasting Power of the Mind
- Man alone holds the power to control his mind, a unique distinction among creatures.
- Mind control is crucial for earthly destiny; the opposite leads to misery and negativity.
- The mind and subconscious, through the right methods, can attain limitless achievements.
Techniques for Subconscious Communication
- Maintain a clear and definite mental image of whatever it is one desires and repeat it often in a strong state of emotional feeling of belief.
- Subconscious mind acts only if requests are clearly stated.
Conclusion
- Success in mind conditioning depends largely on the believer's attitude.
- Belief empowers subconscious mind directives.
- Belief and its impact on great achievers ( Edison, Marconi, Columbus and more) emphasized.
- Man possesses the power to create their destiny.
