Chapter 12 my thoughts
Napoleon Hill tells us “the critical facts” about
the subconscious mind. Mind you, these are only
important if you wish to become the Master of Your
thoughts. I do ! I realize that my thoughts are what
controls my actions and that it is My Actions that
generates my results.
So it follows that when I want to change my results,
I first need to change my thoughts. to change my
thoughts I MUST learn to be the “only” person that
feeds my subconcious mind
So if I am not “actively” programing my Subconcious,
Who is? Well here is an Aaha moment for me, Napolean
states
The subconscious mind will not remain idle! If you
fail to plant DESIRES in your subconscious mind, it
will feed upon the thoughts which reach it as the
result of your neglect. We have already explained
that thought impulses, both negative and positive
are reaching the subconscious mind continuously,
from the four sources which were mentioned in the
chapter on Sex Transmutation.
To take this a step further we know that the sub
concious mind is like a receiving station -Thoughts
in the form of energy are continouslouy bombarding
the barriers of my mind - These thoughts come from
“everywhere ” televison,radio,our next door neighbor,
family members.
When they are negative thoughts they creep in and my
subconcious recognizes them only as thoughts, it does
not care if they originated with me or came from some
other source This is THE Reason I Need to control my
thoughts -
When I do my subconcious is directing my thoughts and
my actions in the direction of My desires when I am
did not control my thoughts my subconcious was
allowed to place obstacles in the path to my desires
Napolean hill tells us How to forever take control of
our thoughts . He says “You may VOLUNTARILY plant in
your subconscious mind any plan, thought, or purpose
which you desire to translate into its physical or
monetary equivalent.
The key word that struck me here is VOLUNTARILY, that
means we have to decide to do this act of telling our subconscious
mind what we want, and that means that in
order to do this I have to take action .
I have to make the choice to have belief or to obtain
my desires or whatever it is that I want to accomplish.
In the next few sentences Hill tells us that desires
which have been mixed with emotional feeling such as
faith (another way to say belief in oneself) .
So what that means is that I have to voluntarily
choose what I am going to think about or how I am
going to be programmed.
In order for it to be voluntary We must take action
that fits our choice, and furthers our desire so as
to reinforce the desire we have planted in our minds.
Another important fact about use of the subconscious
mind is that “All thought, impulses, intended for
transmutation into their physical equivalent,
voluntarily planted in the subconscious mind must
pass through the imagination and be mixed with faith,
The mixing of faith with a plan or purpose intended
for submission to the subconscious mind may be done
ONLY through the imagination.
Wow Think about that we have to use our imagination
or powers of visualization the same thing really in
order to have our subconscious mind accept our
voluntary thoughts.
The imagination is one of the first things you lose
in society as you become a young adult, I clearly
remember being told , stop the daydreaming, keep
your feet planted firmly on the ground, don’t be a
dreamer.
These instructions actually shut down my imagination
and has been a part of the reason for not achieving
what I really wanted. Because I could not imagine
myself having it, as simple as that.
Now I can once again begin to imagine the endless
opportunities to enjoy life. I have been practicing
my visualization for the past several months -I do
this “every” morning and I am reaching my goals- I
plant frimly in my mind my desires I can feel the
emotions of gratitude to the people in my life I
feel myself receiving that which I desire Once I
stopped just seing this and started to “feel”it
my life, my goals began to change -
Why now , why not sometime over the course of the
last 50 some years, The answer is surprisingly simple
I truly beleive that I deserve that which I desire and
when I visualize my desires I couple the vision with
emotions and I can feel gratitude and happiness well
up inside - it is these emotions that my subconcious
mind turns into daily actions that become the steps
to my success
I now not only know but truly believe that I am worth
the effort and I am successful - I know that I could
not have brought these changes about without the
combined energy of this Mastermind group - When I
opened my mind to receive this positive energy My
visualizaton sklls improved , my Life improved,
I do thank Michael and Linda and each and every
person on this journey with me-
