Chapter 12 - the subconscious mind: the connecting link
introduction
- the subconscious mind consists of a field of consciousness in which every impulse of thought that reaches the objective mind through any of the five senses is classified and recorded. From here, thoughts may be recalled or withdrawn as letters may be taken from a filing cabinet
- it receives and files sense impressions or thoughts, regardless of their nature. you may coluntarily plant in you subconscious mind any plan, thought or purpose which you desire to translate into its physical or monetary equivalent. the subconscious acts first on the dominating desires that have been mixed with emotional feeling, such as faith
- the subconscious mind works day and night
- you cannot entirely control your subconscious mind, but you can voluntarily hand over to it any plan, desire or purpose you wish to be transformed into concrete form
- the possibilities of creative effort connected with the subconscious mind are stupendous and imponderable
- the very fact that the sobconscious mind is the medium of communication between the thinking mind and the infinite intelligence is, of itself, a thought that almost paralyzes one's reason
- remember that the subconscious mind may be volunarily directed only though habit. remember, your subconscious mind functions voluntarily, whether you make any effort to influence it or not
- there is much evidence to support the theory that only emotionalized thoughts have any action influence upon the subconscious mind.

- positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time
- form the habit of applying and using the positive emotions. eventually they will dominate your mind so completely that the negatives cannot enter it
- the subconscious mind is the intermediary thattranslates one's prayers into terms that infinite intelligence can recognize, presents the message and brings back the answer in the form of a definite plan or idea for procuring the object of prayer
- faith and fear make poor bedfellows. where one is found, the other cannot exist
