These scientists know that their subconscious mind has a memory of everything that has ever transpired. As they study the ancient ruins and fossils, through their imaginative perception, their subconscious mind aids
them in reconstructing the ancient scenes. The dead past becomes alive
and audible once more. Looking at these ancient temples and studying
the pottery, statuary, tools and household utensils of these ancient times,
the scientist tells us of an age when there was no language. Communication was done by grunts, groans and signs.
The keen concentration and disciplined imagination of the scientist awakens the latent powers of his subconscious mind enabling him to clothe the
ancient temples with roofs, and surround them with gardens, pools and
fountains. The fossil remains are clothes with eyes, sinews and muscles
and they again walk and talk. The past becomes the living present and we
find that in mind there is no time or space. Through disciplined, controlled
and directed imagination, you can be a companion of the most scientific
and inspired thinkers of all time.
When you have what you term “a difficult decision” to make, or when you
fail to see the solution to your problem, begin at once to think constructively about it. If you are fearful and worried, you are not really thinking.
True thinking is free from fear.
Here is a simple technique you can use to receive guidance on any subject: Quiet the mind and still the body. Tell the body to relax; it has to
obey you. It has no volition, initiative or self conscious intelligence. Your
body is an emotional disk which records your beliefs and impressions. Mobilize your attention; focus your thought on the solution to your problem.
Try to solve it with your conscious mind. Think how happy you would be
about the perfect solution. Sense the feeling you would have if the perfect answer were yours now. Let your mind play with this mood in a relaxed
way; then drop off to sleep. When you awaken, and you do not have the
answer, get busy about something else. Probably, when you are preoccupied with something else, the answer will come into your mind like toast
pops out of a toaster.
In receiving guidance from the subconscious mind, the simple way is the
best. This is an illustration: I once lost a valuable ring which was an heirloom. I looked everywhere for it and could not locate it. At night I talked
to the subconscious in the same manner that I would talk to anyone. I
said to it prior to dropping off to sleep, “You know all things; you know
where that ring is, and you now reveal to me where it is.”
In the morning I awoke suddenly with the words ringing in my ear, “Ask
Robert!”
I thought it very strange that I should ask Robert, a young boy about nine
years of age; however, I followed the inner voice of intuition.
Robert said, “Oh yes, I picked it up in the yard while I was playing with
the boys. I placed it on the desk in my room. I did not think it worth anything so I did not say anything about it.”
The subconscious mind will always answer you if you trust it.
A young man who attends my lectures had this experience. His father
died and apparently left no will. However, this man’s sister told him that
their father had confided to her that a will had been executed which was
fair to all. Every attempt to locate the will failed.
Prior to sleep he talked to his deeper mind as follows: “I now turn this request over to the subconscious mind. It knows just where that will is and
reveals it to me.” Then he condensed his request down to one word, “Answer,” repeating it over and over again as a lullaby. He lulled himself to
sleep with the word, “Answer.”
The next morning this young man had an overpowering hunch to go to a
certain bank in Los Angeles where he found a safe deposit vault registered in the name of his father, the contents of which solved all his problems.
Your thought, as you go to sleep, arouses the powerful latency which is
within you. For example, let us suppose you are wondering whether to sell
your home, buy a certain stock, sever partnership, move to New York or
stay in Los Angeles, dissolve the present contract or take a new one. Do
this: Sit quietly in your armchair or at the desk in your office. Remember that there is a universal law of action and reaction. The action is your
thought. The reaction is the response from your subconscious mind. The
subconscious mind is reactive and reflexive; this is its nature. It rebounds, rewards and repays. It is the law of correspondence. It responds
by corresponding. As you contemplate right action, you will automatically
experience a reaction or response in yourself which represents the guidance or answer of your subconscious mind.
In seeking guidance, you simply think quietly about right action which
means that you are using the Infinite Intelligence resident in the sub mind
to the point where it begins to use you. From there on, your course of action is directed and controlled by the subjective wisdom within you which
is all-wise and omnipotent. Your decision will be right. There will only be
right action because you are under a subjective compulsion to do the right
thing. I use the word compulsion because the law of the subconscious is
compulsion.
The secret of guidance or right action is to mentally devote yourself to the
right answer, until you find its response in you. The response is a feeling,
an inner awareness, an overpowering hunch whereby you know that you
know. You have used the power to the point where it begins to use you.
You cannot possibly fail or make one false step while operating under the
subjective wisdom within you. You will find that all your ways are pleasantness and all your paths are peace.
1. Remember that the subconscious mind has determined the success and
wonderful achievements of all great scientific workers.
2. By giving your conscious attention and devotion to the solution of a
perplexing problem, your subconscious mind gathers all the necessary information and presents it full blow to the conscious mind.
3. If you are wondering about the answer to a problem, try to solve it objectively. Get all the information you can from research and also from others. If no answer comes, turn it over to your subconscious mind prior to
sleep, and the answer always comes. It never fails.
4. You do not always get the answer overnight. Keep on turning your request over to your subconscious until the day breaks and the shadows
flee away.
5. You delay the answer by thinking it will take a long time or that it is a
major problem. Your subconscious has no problem, it knows only the answer.
6. Believe that you have the answer now. Feel the joy of the answer and
the way you would feel if you had the perfect answer. Your subconscious
will respond to your feeling.
7. Any mental picture, backed by faith and perseverance, will come to
pass through the miracle-working power of your subconscious. Trust it,
believe in its power and wonders will happen as you pray.
8. Your subconscious is the storehouse of memory and within your subconscious are recorded your experiences since childhood.
9. Scientists meditating on ancient scrolls, temples, fossils, etc., are able
to reconstruct scenes of the past and make them alive today. Their subconscious mind comes to their aid.
10. Turn over your request for a solution to your subconscious prior to
sleep. Trust it and believe in it and the answer will come. It knows all and
sees all, but you must not doubt or question its powers.
11. The action is your thought, and the reaction is the response of your
subconscious mind. If your thoughts are wise, your actions and decisions
will be wise.
12. Guidance comes as a feeling, an inner awareness, an overpowering
hunch whereby you know that you know. It is an inner sense of touch.
Follow it.
