Understanding the Function of Consciousness
1. The Basis of Natural Success: Understanding the function of consciousness is fundamental to achieving natural success. The chapter emphasizes that success hinges on the subconscious mind saying "Yes" to messages that reflect one's highest potential. The key to harnessing this success is learning to connect with and operate from your "Super Conscious" or personal genius .
2. Role of the Subconscious: The subconscious is portrayed as a non-discriminatory, feminine aspect of the mind that receives messages and brings them into reality without moral or ethical judgment. It is likened to a womb, highlighting its role in creation and manifestation .
3. The Subconscious as a Creative Force: The chapter details how the subconscious continuously receives various messages and creates reality based on which messages carry the most energy. This process does not involve a linear sequence but rather a dynamic interaction of multiple influences .
4. Interaction of Consciousness Levels: Consciousness involves three key aspects: the Subconscious, the Super Conscious, and the Ego. Each plays a role in feeding messages into the subconscious, which then manifest as reality, whether desirable or not. This section also discusses how the individual's focus, whether on limiting beliefs or on potential, greatly influences what the subconscious manifests .
5. Shifting Focus to Higher Consciousness: To alter the outcomes of our subconscious creations, we must shift our focus from lower, limiting preoccupations to higher potentials. This requires an understanding and reorientation of our attention towards the Super Conscious, engaging with it to influence the subconscious effectively .
6. The Challenge of Unconscious Influence: The chapter highlights the pervasive influence of the unconscious, which often operates without our awareness, shaping our perceptions and experiences based on deep-seated beliefs. This unconscious influence can be counterproductive unless we consciously direct our focus towards more empowering beliefs and goals .
