Abraham Hicks ~ Live the life you intended to live
You Are Always “Right”
The primary function of the subconscious mind is to follow the instructions of the conscious mind. It does this by “proving” that whatever the conscious mind believes is true. In other words, the job of the subconscious mind is to prove the conscious mind is always “right.” So, if you consciously believe that you can’t be, do, or have something, the subconscious will create the circumstances and find the people to prove that you are “right.” The subconscious functions like the automatic pilot of an airplane. If the autopilot is set to go east, you can manually override the controls and go north. But as soon as you let go, the automatic pilot, which has been programmed to go east will control the plane, and you will fly east.
Your subconscious does not change the reality of the world around you. It just filters the information that you present to it in order to support your beliefs or the picture that you hold in your mind. For example; if you believe that business is bad, or that there are no new opportunities for your business, your subconscious will ignore new opportunities to improve your business. Instead, it will only point out problems that support your belief that things are bad, or that there are no new opportunities. Your subconscious cannot think for itself. It will draw to you only those things that are consistent with your deepest inner beliefs, nothing more, nothing less. If you do not know this as a truth, and do not realize that you create your reality out of your ideas, you will feel powerless to change your life for the better. Instead you will feel that you are the victim of people, circumstances, and conditions.
If you accept yourself as powerless you will look to something or someone outside of yourself to fulfill your desires. When you come to the understanding that everything that you want can be created through your mind, through the use of right thinking, which is simply clear thinking, you come to the realization that only you can give yourself what you want.
Trusting Your Creative Power
To create what you want, you have to trust the Power within you. Now, when you are told to trust the Power within you, immediately you could say: “Look at the starvation. Look at the sickness, the war and the crime in the world. You are telling me to trust the Power? If this Power existed, why would it allow this to happen?” Well, the truth is, it doesn’t allow anything to happen. Remember, we said the Power is neutral. It is simply the Power of Creation. It is the impersonal force of life. We can use this Power, or Life Force, to create anything that we want in our lives. Even if we choose from ignorance, it doesn’t matter. It will support us in our ignorance until we learn from it. The effect will always be equal to the cause. If we’re in a ditch, it means that the Power is supporting us in being in a ditch. If our life is immensely successful, it means that the Power supports us in our success. It all comes out of our ideas.
Thought Directs Power
We said earlier that our ideas are created into our results. To put it another way, it is done unto you as you believe, not as you want, but as you believe. There is a vast difference between the two. When you think – the universe moves. This means that when you put an idea out into the universe, people, places, and things come into your life to fulfill that idea. When we think, we actually cause things to happen. Look at what this Power has done in the universe. Look all around you and see all the marvelous creations, infinite in number.
The best news of all is that same Power is within you. And, the more open, responsive, and receptive you are to this Power the more fulfilling and magnificent your life will be. If this is true, then how does the Power work? You and I are indirect users of the power. Let me explain. When you started your car today, what did you have to do? Well, you had to turn your key, which turned a small starting motor, which in turn started the engine. The starter motor was powered by electricity.
Now, what was the direct source of that electricity? Was it the battery? No, it wasn’t. A battery is not an independent source. It has to be charged up. Your Higher Self is essentially a battery within that receives its’ Source of power or energy from the universe. It then stores that power for you to use for the purpose of creation. In science there is a formula known as Ohm’s Law, which states that C equals E divided by R (C=E/R). C equals the amount of electrical energy that is available for your appliance at the place where you’re going to plug it in. For example, C equals the amount of electricity to run your toaster. The power to run the appliance is the result of E, which is the direct power source, divided by R, which is the resistance the power meets while getting there. Now, suppose the main power line coming into the building where you live is 750,000 volts, but it comes into your house at 110 to 220 volts to run your appliances. To do this, transformers are used on the power line to reduce the power coming into your house to make it safe for application.
This is just like the Power available to you. You have the Ultimate Power of the universe available to you, but it also has Infinite Wisdom, which might be referred to as a transformer. While our Higher Self is plugged into the Ultimate Power of the universe, this Power also has enough wisdom to put some transformers in between to insulate it so we don’t get too much before we are ready for it and burn ourselves out.
Now, if you wanted to bring in more power, what would you do? You would have to create less resistance, and you would have to change the wiring to accommodate the additional flow of power.
