You have only one mind, but it has two areas with different functions. One part is your conscious mind. That’s your “objective mind” your waking mind. It makes choices. The other part is your subconscious mind. It is your “deep self”. Your conscious mind can reason. Your subconscious mind doesn’t reason or argue. Your conscious mind is the gardener, but the subconscious is the garden itself. This is largely a conscious decision and we all have the power to decide the type of person we wish to be

Our beliefs and language have to be monitored carefully.
“As long as we persist in saying, “I can’t afford that car, that trip to Europe, that home, that fur coat or ermine wrap,” we can rest assured that our subconscious mind will follow our orders, and we will go through life experiencing the lack of all these things.” Negative thoughts are highly detrimental.

Overthinking, worrying and anxiety all have a detrimental effect on our physiological processes, which in turn disrupt our subconscious mechanism.
The antidote to this, and in-mindful meditation, is to simply “let go, relax, and still the wheels of your thought processes.”

When we detach our minds from the sense of evidence of our current situation and focus on our vision, our creative mechanism can thrive.
Some of the greatest figures in history, have trusted in the power of their subconscious to guide their work…
“Long hours, hard labor, or burning the midnight oil will not produce a Milton, a Shakespeare, or a Beethoven. People accomplish great things through quiet moments, imagining that the invisible things from the foundation of time are clearly visible.”

Wealth is a subconscious conviction which we must build into our mental reality.
“The feeling of wealth produces wealth. Keep this in mind at all times.”
Wealth isn’t attracted through hard labor or envy, but springs from our subconscious.
However, we must first put aside any doubts or superstitions about money, what we condemn, we can never attract.
