A Discourse on the Subconscious Mind!

Re-reading my first post, "Sharing the Light and Sound of God!", I realized that some may think I am a egotistical know-it-all.  I freely admit that I am one of those who likes to show what I know, and in that regard, you should be cautious of anything I may try to sell you later! lol...

"A person who is truly knowledgeable will rarely do a great deal of talking on any subject."  Paul Twitchell said this in "The Flute of God."  And then he went on to write several books about what he knew on many subjects.  The truth is, his goal as well as mine and many others, is to become a Co-worker with God, and in this endeavor, we share our understanding with the hopes of helping others to understand themselves a little better.

No, I won't be trying to sell you anything so relax and enjoy life.  I am on a journey of self-discovery, and what I write, say and do all have a bearing on my journey.  What you'll see here is of my own personal understanding at this time, and is subject to change in any moment of realization, but in this moment of writing my thoughts, I am simply trying to understand more clearly the principles of which I am learning.  Any thoughts you may have and would like to share, I'd love to hear them.  It will aid me greatly on my spiritual path, so please feel free to leave comments.

I thought it best before giving a method of bringing the mind under control of Soul as promised in the last post, that a little background about the mind and how it works may help the understanding.  Much of my understanding comes from the direct teachings of ECKANKAR.

The subconscious mind (sometimes referred to as the unconscious) is a part of the Universal Mind.  The universal mind is the negative power or force of the universe.  In ECKANKAR, this universal mind force is sometimes referred to as the Kal Niranjan or simply, the Kal force.  This negative Kal force is the unlimited creative force.  This connection can be of a great benefit to us individually, for it is through this connection one may tap into that creative force to create one's desire of the heart.

The subconscious mind is responsive to the conscious will, which means that the unlimited creative power of the Universal Mind is under the control of the conscious mind of each individual.  It is up to each of us to use this power according to our judgment and free will.  So use it wisely because you are responsible for whatever you may create.  It's not necessary to know the methods of how this works, only that as you follow your heart's guidance, which hopefully is inspired by the ECK's desire, your subconscious mind via the Universal Mind will produce the desired results.

Recognition is all it takes for any desire to manifest because everything is available for realization here and now.  Keep in mind the negative force is of the lower world plane only.  The higher planes, where negativity does not exist, will require a new set of laws with which to operate.
