The 10 Rules of the Subconscious Mind

The 10 Rules of the Subconscious Mind

"There is only one journey. Going inside yourself." --
Rainer Maria Rilke

Our subconscious mind exerts a powerful influence over our
lives. It preserves and runs the body. It stores and
organizes memories, emotions and energy. It controls and
maintains all of our perceptions. Over 95% of what we do,
think and say comes from old programming in our subconscious
mind.

Unless you make a conscious effort to direct the immense
power of your subconscious, its robotic and limited programs
will run your life. It will sabotage your best intentions.
And yet, it's not difficult to work with the subconscious.
You just have to know what you're doing.

Here are a few things you should know about the
subconscious:

1. Despite its power, the subconscious is a servant of the
conscious mind. It follows orders by acting on whatever is
fed to it. It cannot distinguish between what is real and
what is imagined. It has no sense of humour and takes
everything very literally. Your conscious mind is the gate-
keeper. For personal power, you must be aware of what you
are allowing into the subconscious. And you can
intentionally program it to manifest what you want in life.

2. The subconscious mind responds with instinct and habit.
As thinking and behavioural patterns deepen, they become
habits and they become harder and harder to change.

3. Use repetition, authority and emotion to program the
subconscious. Affirm and visualize often what you desire. Be
strong, wilful and in command. Draw on your passion and
emotional power to affirm what you want, as emotions have a
very strong impact on the subconscious mind.

4. The subconscious mind does not process negatives. For
this reason, all affirmations and statements must be
positive. Do not say, "I will not gain weight." The 'not' is
not recorded - the subconscious mind only hears "I will gain
weight."

5. The subconscious represses memories with unresolved
negative emotions. The memories will get buried, yet the
beliefs and feelings associated with them will still control
your reactions. This is why it is important to become aware
of and resolve strong guilt, resentment, fears, anger and
depression.

6. The subconscious mind works with symbols and metaphors.
Watch your dreams closely for symbols that will offer clues
to underlying issues that need to be resolved.

7. It takes everything personally. It keeps a photocopy of
everything. Whenever you criticize, resent, judge and
project negative thoughts and feelings onto others, you
experience the negativity as your own.

8. The subconscious works on the principle of least effort.
It follows the path of least resistance. Without purposeful
direction from our conscious mind, it follows the easiest,
usually more negative path of our engrained habits.

9. It has a need to be moral. The subconscious mind is also
the source of a higher aspect of yourself. This God force,
Soul energy or whatever you want to call it supports your
evolution towards love, unity, beauty and truth. Consciously
working with the subconscious opens us to higher levels of
wisdom and love.

10. It knows only the present time. There is no future or
past in the subconscious mind. All stored experiences are
processed as NOW. Know that the past affects you NOW, as
the subconscious replays past programming in the present. So
affirm in the now, not in the future. And understand that
you have the power right now to re-write sabotaging programs
from the past so you can claim a better future.

The Initiation teaches us how to direct the immense power of
the subconscious mind. We learn to revamp old, limited
programs so they realign with the higher powers available to
us.

"When you choose to understand the workings of your own
mind and choose to exercise control over the functions and
attributes of your own mind, you will be empowered to create
your own reality, to be completely self-reliant and totally
prosperous." - Delfin Knowledge System

30 Ways to Distinguish Intuition from Lower Levels of Information

30 Ways to Distinguish Intuition from Lower Levels of
Information

"It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you
really are." -- e. e. cummings

The more aware we become, the more intuition develops for
us. The more we can access our intuition, the faster we grow
and change. The key is to understand the language of
intuition. How can you tell if the 'inner voice' is God's,
other beings, other people's projections or your own
judgmental thoughts? The tips below will help you
discriminate and discern the TRUTH.

Read the list over often and get a strong sense of how to
discern higher guidance. Expand your inventory of how you
sense the higher or lower information that comes into your
physical and non-physical senses.

LOWER LEVELS OF INFORMATION ----- HIGHER LEVELS
OF INTUITION
demand obedience or surrender ----- suggest, advise -
you make your own decisions
conflict with one's personal ethics ----- no conflict with
personal ethics
create fear, negativity ----- create love, inspiration,
empowerment
are generalities, long winded ----- are relevant, short,
intelligent, unique
are conditional ----- are unconditional, appropriate and
natural to you
appeal to curiosity, ego ----- appeal to goodwill, beauty,
unity
from confusing, competing voices ----- from still, single
knowing voice
affirm ultimate authority for itself ----- counsel surrender
to higher power
require no personal effort ----- need personal effort
guidance from subconscious ----- guidance from the Soul
emotional desires, glamour ----- higher spiritual guidance
benefit the receiver ----- benefit the good of the whole
fixed interpretations ----- many levels of interpretation
create dependencies ----- create interdependence
promote separation ----- reflect oneness, wholeness, unity
are self conscious ----- are other conscious
affirm mediocrity ----- promote making a difference
reflect a part of the whole ----- reflect the whole
are emotional, mental ----- are intuitive
focus on things ----- focus on essence and values
result in loss of self ----- result in self discovery
focus on desires, wants ----- focus on soul needs
address individual ----- address community
deal with form ----- deal with symbols, truths
concerned with self will ----- reflect divine will
create victims ----- require accountability
are sporadic ----- are disciplined
create stress ----- create peace of mind
are personal ----- are impersonal
are restrictive ----- are expansive
are particular ----- are universal
are controlling ----- are allowing
focus on self ----- focus on others or Soul
focus on destination ----- focus on process
are exclusive ----- are inclusive
are judging ----- are accepting
are scattered ----- are focused
are limited ----- are unlimited
focus on material ----- focus on spiritual
are reactive ----- are proactive
are concrete ----- are abstract
focus on past, future ----- focus on now
deal with personality ----- concern Soul
produce inertia ----- generate growth
stuff in ----- draw out
focus on quantity ----- focus on quality
are selfish ----- are altruistic
are superficial ----- are deep
create resistance ----- create flow
focus on lack ----- focus on abundance
are static ----- are dynamic
focus on me ----- focus on humanity
create illusion ----- reveal truth
focus on work ----- focus on service
focus on mine ----- focus on God's
use force ----- use power
focus on effect ----- focus on cause
take ----- give
produce fear ----- experience love
emphasize doing ----- emphasize being



"Follow your bliss and doors will open where there were no
doors before." -- Joseph Campbell

This is a keeper. A lot of my emotional reactions are conditioned behavior from the past. I have some major emotional re-programming to do.
Thanks Time2Surrender.
