Your Subconscious
Mind, Healing & Prayer
The main impediment in the
way of any prayer is too much intellect and too little devotion.
If we do not pray at all or pray without intensity and devotion,
it is not what we consciously want to happen in our life that
does happen--it is what we believe to be true of ourselves
and others deep in our subconscious mind.
Our reality perfectly matches
the complex interior belief system that we are not even aware
of most of the time. If you want to know what exactly you
have accumulated in your subconscious mind, just look inside
and around you and take an honest inventory of your life.
Are you happy, healthy, prosperous, optimistic? Through regular
prayer and meditation you can change any belief recorded in
your subconscious mind, which in turn will change the external
condition.
Any belief recorded in our
subconscious mind that is less than the truth of our eternal
oneness with the presence of God appears as a darker pattern
to the ever-present light of Spirit. The Light can only reach
us through our subconscious mind. The totality of Divine Grace
is always available to us, but it can only reach us if it
finds beliefs and qualities in our subconscious mind that
are similar to its own nature. Erroneous patterns overlap
and sometimes make our mind almost completely impenetrable
to the Light. By a regular spiritual effort--meditation, prayer,
and remembrance of the Presence--we let more Light in, which
loosens and dislodges the hardened layers and eventually erases
them.
Pay close attention to what
you say, especially if you are making an emotionally charged
statement. Emotion is a catalyst. Every time we make a forceful
statement, a categorical pronouncement, fused with a strong
feeling, we are actually praying for that which we are stating,
and are thus creating our future experience. It is a sobering
thought, isn't it, and it is also a fact. Everyone can recall
an instance or two of a self-fulfilled prophesy.
Whatever we believe to be
true deep in our heart, we unknowingly pray for. We don't
even have to verbalize it. Our subconscious mind does the
praying for us, in accordance with the guidelines we ourselves
put in there or unwittingly consented to during an unguarded
moment. Do we even know how many unguarded moments we are
guilty of?
Your subconscious mind is
always listening and recording what you think, feel, and say.
Be very careful when you talk about health issues in general,
your health in particular, and about other people's health
problems. Never make categorical statements like "so
and so has an incurable disease." Because if you do,
not only are you not helping that person, you can actually
make the condition worse. It is a reverse of a prayer for
healing. And if you sincerely believe that there is a possibility
of an incurable disease for somebody else, you are playing
with fire--for what we believe to be true of others, we also
believe to be true of ourselves. Not in the conscious phase
of our mind, but where it really matters--in the subconscious
mind. And that which we believe to be true of ourselves must
sooner or later manifest in our physical reality.
Do not acknowledge disease.
Do not say that so and so has leukemia. Instead, say that
he or she has a temporary condition referred to as "leukemia".
Do not contribute to the momentum that the condition already
has. Do not give the condition a definite and final name either,
for if you do, you will be using the power of your voice,
thought and feeling to affirm the disease. Besides, the condition
may have been misdiagnosed, and you would be sending out a
confusing message and affirmation.
Always affirm the presence
of God in an area that is temporarily out of balance. With
deep concentration and devotion affirm that the healing has
already taken place by the Grace of God. "Thank you,
Lord, for your healing presence".
