Your Thoughts Are Your Prayers
The Conscious Mind and Subconscious Mind
Heaven and Earth
Now is the Moment of Creation
Creation of the Heavens and Earth aren't places that were created eons ago. Creation is happening this very moment, and you are creating your world with your thoughts and feelings. Heaven is your imagination, the cause or the subjective, and Earth is the appearance, the effect or objective. From the within to the without
~On Earth as it is in Heaven~
Your reality is created from your own imagination. There isn't anything outside of yourself that you didn't create. All circumstance and conditions are your creation, and it is up to you to change the things that need changing by change of thought.
The Two Minds
Whatever you focus your mind on becomes your reality. The mind is a powerful computer that processes information in bits. There are two parts to the mind.
The conscious mind.
Studies suggest that the conscious mind processes about two-thousand bits of information per second. The impulses travel at approximately one-hundred and fifty mph. Your conscious mind is the cause and substance of your reality by your ideas and thoughts. The mystics referred to this phenomenon as the I AM., your awareness.
The subconscious mind
Studies suggest that the subconscious mind processes about 400 billion bits of information per second. The impulses travel at one-hundred thousand mph. The subconscious is where your belief system is housed.
One of the most unique traits of the subconscious mind is that it does not discriminate any information that is impressed upon it, be it good, bad or indifferent. Once a thought becomes a belief sometimes it can be hard to change when there is a polarity between what the conscious mind affirms and what the subconscious mind believes to be true. Circumstances and conditions may become unfavorable. During a time like this it can seen as though God is against you, but in reality there isn't a malevolent God outside yourself that rights evil. The evil is your wrong thinking and being that the subconscious mind is the more powerful of the two, it will always win. It might be compared to challenging a powerful locomotive to a game of tug of war.
No matter what you impress upon the subconscious mind it will be carried out into the outer world of forms to perfection. Plato referred to it as the Perfect Design.
~ Genesis 1:31: God saw everything He had made and said that it was good.~
Good, bad, or indifferent the subconscious mind will carry out your beliefs to perfection.
Then how do you change the outer appearance?
~Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven~
The two coming into agreement is not two people, the passage is speaking of the conscious and subconscious mind.
First, creating a new world takes becoming aware of your conscious thinking. What thoughts do you entertain? What do you imagine? You must become the Sheppard (overseer) of your flock (your thoughts and imagination). As you become aware of your thoughts and imagination it is then that you are able to discard unwanted dramas and replace the old with your desired reality. You begin to walk a new path, a neural pathway that becomes a habit. It takes practice.
Hebb's Postulate states: Neurons that fire together wire together.
Feelings Are the Language of the Soul
Feelings are the one and only catalyst that opens a portal for thoughts and imagination to make an impression on the subconscious mind. Only entertain feelings that contribute to your happiness and welfare. Keep in mind the vibrations of the words you choose to describe your mood and the energy produced by said words. An example would be: Feeling good verses a feeling of exhilaration.
Now you can understand why and how dwelling on your imperfections creates more imperfections that will grow over time. But what about dwelling on the imperfections of others? This will only serve to impress the limitations upon your subconscious mind.
~Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged~
Also, it is important not to judge a negative appearance (circumstance or condition). To judge it will only create more of the same, and in many cases these conditions and circumstances become worse. We have all experienced the domino effect.
Another reason not to judge the appearance is because once you shift to higher state of consciousness your present reality can not and will not be sustained by the old state of consciousness that created it. Things around you begin to crumble, but this must happen in order or the new to be ushered in.
Albert Einstein once said:
~Problems cannot be solved by the same mindset that created them~
Faith
Nothing is accomplished without faith. Faith must be perfect. Faith must be without fear. Faith must be without doubt. It is also known as confidence, whichever philosophy one is inclined to believe, but you must have it. You must assume that your desire has already been fulfilled or that your prayer has been answered the appearances begin to change, and you must remain in that state in spite of what appears to be a negative appearance.
Isaiah 14:10: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
~I AM the beginning and the end~
The I AM is your state of being, your awareness, God expressing though your thoughts and feelings. The beginning is your first spark of consciousness of your desire. The end is your desire fulfilled. What comes between the I AM and the end is for the super-conscious mind or God to bring you. You must let the logical mind/ reasoning mind to step aside. Give yourself over completely to the One Power of creation.
What Every Writer Knows
When the protagonist arrives at the end of a book, he or she never gets exactly what they started out to achieve, and the reason for that is because during hers or his struggles the main character had to have a shift in consciousness or the journey was for naught. The hero always gets something better or something completely different. Keep in mind the words of Albert Einstein.
