Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?  If you have ever asked that question, the answer is in the ‘whole self’ as will be explained through this post and through a soon to come video post that provides a diagramatic answer to this important question.

Section 23

The Component Parts of the Whole Self

In the time and space of our present daily existence on this wonderful planet earth, it is the conscious mind that dominates most people; therefore the conscious mind dominates our world.  Raw consciousness is a powerful state of being.  It is your conscious mind that sought out this book and is engaged with reading it now; it is your conscious mind that you use to plan, think, worry, and prepare dinner….  The conscious mind has an important role in our lives; there are other influences however, other parts of your being that are very important.  They are the subconscious mind, the body, and your life-force.  Together with the conscious mind, they constitute the four parts of the Whole Self.  This chapter will fully explore the relationship and the connectedness each part has to the whole.  Through learning about these connections and relationship, you will understand the parts, their roles, and their relationship to one another; then you will know the rules that govern your Whole Self and thereby how to most effectively synergize your state of affluence as a whole person, aligned to a purpose.   Tools, techniques, and actions for you to use will be presented. 

As a brief aside, we of course know that the human condition cannot in reality be cut into four neat and tidy parts and placed in a diagram to be poked and prodded, each part distinct from the other – the human condition is so very much more complicated than that.  But, the human condition can be spoken of and referred to in parts and as a whole and put into diagrams in order to understand and learn.  To do this is to suspend reality in order to pierce it.  A diagram that represents the Whole Self is appended as the last page of this chapter; you might want to look at it for a moment now.  Next, a brief outline of each part of the Whole Self will be provided through the paragraphs immediately below, and a more detailed explanation of each will follow as the chapter progresses. 

The conscious mind: a powerhouse that must be harnessed.  It is the conscious mind that in most people holds the reins of power in the overall relationship of the parts.  It can play a critically positive role, or it can be the maker of misery.  The Ego center of its own world, it is capable of considering information from other parts of the whole and can communicate directly with the subconscious, body, and life-force, yet it is independent and aloof in most people.

The subconscious mind:   a quiet powerhouse that performs many automatic and autonomic functions; it is also a source of inspiration and creative power.  It is also the dutiful servant of the conscious mind.  It carries out orders from the conscious through a non-judgmental communication with body and life-force.  Its strength can be destructive if it is not directed and well-managed.  The subconscious is a powerful tool to be treated with great care.

The body: capable of being a powerhouse, yet too often not.  It is a symbiotic mass of vibrating cells in an alliance with the two minds, given life through life-force, living in this time and space.  The body is a wonderfully complex temple of beauty capable of great strength and service to the wholeness of being, yet it is easily prone to harsh frequencies coming from an unbridled consciousness and its dutiful servant, the subconscious. 

Life-force: the silent pervasive power, it is the essence of love, beauty, acceptance, creation, generative life, desire…. Life-force is the energy of the universe seeking full expression in personal form – it is our spark.  It is each person’s connection to the universal life-force and what I will call Universal Consciousness and you may or may not call God.  It is our connection to life itself and to the essence of other beings.  Please note that when discussing and presenting the concept of life-force, I choose to use the term Universal Consciousness so that I can discuss the concept without delving into religion or philosophy.  I do not intend to nor would I diminish the importance of religion, philosophy, or God; I simply wish to keep out of the debate between various religions and philosophies and keep a respectful position concerned solely with your realization of affluence and purpose.

Gratefully Appreciate; Gratefully Allow

The Synergy in Life System — Section 21

This next section reminds me of the dynamic tension needed to play a sport well or to do well playing an instrument, or to excell in the arena of academia, or being an excellent craftsperson… etc.  The dynamic tension I speak of is that needed concentration on the task at hand — that complete being in the moment — coupled with a gentle, positive mindset.  Too much mental focus, or ‘forcing’ will not allow the flow needed to excell.  To flow… you must flow. 

Gratefully appreciating and allowing is a mental state.  A mental state that is concentrated, dynamic, and pleasantly positive.  A dynamic balance.  Is there a better state of mind?!

Gratefully Appreciate; Gratefully Allow

Gratefully appreciate and gratefully allow affluence to be your natural state.  Gratefully appreciate what you have now and gratefully allow yourself the correct belief that you are meant to express life fully and with joy, meant to enjoy abundant affluence.  Be grateful for and nourish the health you have now.  Give fuel to that health by noticing it, exploring it, appreciating it and expanding upon it.  Be grateful for and nourish the wealth you do have.  Give fuel to that wealth by noticing it, exploring it, appreciating it and expanding upon it.  Be grateful for and nourish the happiness you do have.  Give fuel to that happiness by noticing it, exploring it, appreciating it and expanding upon it.  Gratefully allow affluence to abundantly increase in your life, as it is meant to.

Gratefully focus upon what you desire with such clarity and enthusiasm that you leave no room for other thoughts and actions.  Focus your mind upon affluence.  Believe in affluence, give thought to affluence, and feel it within you, for this authentic triad of belief, directed thought, and feeling is the first experience you will have with a concept that will be given more attention later called Inner Management. For now, however, and in logical progression, Step three is to gratefully believe in the rightness of your desire for affluence with such force of thought, intensity and pervading feeling that there is no room left within you to hold contrary thoughts or to take contrary actions.  Give everything to your positive development, save nothing for the negative.  Affluence was intended for you upon your inception, and now you must prepare to meet it at the source.  Pursue your natural expression, resonate with your natural expression, and gratefully appreciate, gratefully allow.

The Grameen bank and You

The Synergy in Life System — Section 20

Ever heard of the Grameen Bank?  No collateral, No legal instrument, No group guarantee or joint-liability.  And… unlike many banks right now, this one is doing FANTASTICLY well!

If there was ever a story worth telling it is of the Grameen Bank and Professor Yunus.  He is a pioneer or magnificent magnanimity.  Below is the 20th excerpt from my book The Synergy in Life System.  Please read about this Nobel prize winning professor and how he helps others.  It has a bearing in your life too.

Helping Others

Some will say that they cannot or should not have affluence because there are so many poor and unfortunate people in the world who have nothing other than misery in their lives.  As you likely are deeply concerned about the plight of poor and unfortunate people, you should spend some of your time helping them.  You can help them best, however, not by giving them some form of material things that will keep them in their place, but through giving them the power of hope and by developing pictures of affluence in their minds, and by helping them to realize their deserved expression of life.  Read the rest of this entry »

What is the intention of life?

Section #16 — Is the intention of life… living?  Sounds logical, no?  Read the rest of this entry »

Section 14

Gotta love the number 14.  So, this section begins to cover off for those of you who either on the surface or deep down just don’t believe that you should be healthy, happy, and wealthy.  There’s some good psychology here worth internalizing… enjoy Read the rest of this entry »
