Your Conscious Mind

Your Conscious Mind is that part of your mind which evaluates what you see, hear, taste, touch and smell. It is the part of your mind that decides if something is true or false, big or small, hot or cold, sweet or bitter, right or wrong.

This is the evaluating mind, the logical mind. It is the part of your mind which decides what you want, when you want it, where to go, and what to do. It processes the environment around you at a rate of about 40 pieces of information a second, and can handle up to three events at any one time, if pushed.

We are bombarded with millions of external stimuli every minute of our waking day. It is the conscious mind that sorts out the "important" from the "unimportant" details in order that the mind doesn't become overloaded and break down.

Your conscious mind is that part of your mind which observes and experiences, and it does what it does in accordance with the second part of your mind. So, if you are not actively thinking, (see my previous post on Thinking), the mind will just substitute what it thinks you might find interesting; probably something from your memory, and probably something that gives you bad feelings inside. I believe that's what psychologists call mental noise.

Yet no one can make you think thoughts which you do not want to think. Your conscious mind works for you, and you alone.

You are the master of the conscious mind, and it is what you think with this part of your mind that can be passed to the second part, the Subconscious Mind. But I'll talk about it next time.

What's on your mind?

Have you ever tried to visualise your mind? I didn't say "your brain" I said "your mind." That's right, your mind. You can't! It's not a physical thing. It's spiritual. How about that?

And there are two parts to it; the conscious mind and the subconscious mind.

The conscious mind is the part of the mind with which you think. (See one of my earlier blogs on "Thinking".)

The other part, well... more about that later.

In my next blog I want to explore the first part. Then we'll move on to the second.

Samantha

Who is doing your thinking?

Your way of doing things is a direct result of the way you think. And if you are thinking "from the outside in" you are letting what you see, feel, hear, taste and smell—especially the "big three", hear, see and feel—dictate your actions. In effect, you are not really thinking at all, merely reacting to your environment.

Is that such a bad thing? I don't know. I am sure that if I was in the middle of the road and I saw a car approaching fast, I would surely want to get the heck out of the way. And fast!

Still, the vast majority of people today let their thoughts be guided by the newspapers, the evening TV news, friends, neighbours and even family. Opinions are the cheapest commodity on earth!

Think about it.

The Hardest Work in the World

In my last post I referred to a humourous statement by a currently well know psychologist.

He also stated that "mental activity" did not constitute thinking!

Well... if mental activity doesn't constitute thinking, what does????

Wallace Wattles in Chapter 4 of his book "The Science of Getting Rich" has the answer when he says, "There is no labour from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world."

Something to think about, eh?

Samantha

Thinking...

As Wallace Wattles says in Chapter 4 of his book, The Science of Getting Rich ...

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe.

“A thought in this substance produces the thing that was imaged by the thought.

“Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.”

What that means is that you also cause the things you think about to be created. In other words, what you think about you bring about!

Isn't that incredible?

Samantha

Energy Thinks? What next?

So... if thought preceded the creation of the Universe, and the Universe consists solely of energy, does it not follow that this Original Substance, (energy), thinks? What follows from that is that a thought in this Original Substance creates the thing that is imaged by that thought.

That means that everything you see was preceded by thought in this Original Substance!

Samantha

Thought

Energy, often referred to as”Original Substance”, teems with creativity. It is constantly creating new forms. This formless stuff, from which all things are made, responds to our needs, and it does so through our thoughts. No doubt you have heard of “The Law of Attraction.” If not, get a copy of the book, “The Science of Getting Rich.” It is available by clicking here.

We live in a thought world which is part of a thought Universe. We are surrounded by millions of them every minute of our lives on this planet we call Earth. Thoughts are one of the strongest forms of energy, for it is through thought that things are created. Indeed, everything that has ever been created has been preceded by thought. When you think deeply about it, if that is so, then thought preceded the creation of this Universe. If everything is energy, then it must be a fact that energy is thinking stuff!

How about that?

Samantha

Energy!

Everything in this Universe is made from the same stuff—energy. Pure energy. Everything you see is but pure energy. It's all there is!

And if this is so, what's to say that there isn't enough to go around? We have a Universe full of it! Our galaxy is but one small spot in the Universe. Our planet, Earth, is but a small speck in our galaxy! Think about it. And yet we obsess about the lack of energy! Really!

Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of riches. The supply will never run out.

I think we should be extremely grateful. Don't you?

Samantha

It really is science!

Yes, indeed. Although you may not believe it, there is a science to getting rich. And like mathematics, it is exact. Just like Newton's laws of motion, there are certain laws governing the process of getting rich. Once you master these laws, and apply them, you will get rich with mathematical certainty.

The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a "Certain Way". If you do things in this "Certain Way" you will get rich.

There is a book entitled "The Science of Getting Rich" written over one hundred years ago by a man named Wallace D. Wattles, laying out, in detail, this "Certain Way", and it is just a valid today as it was back when it was first written. I read from it almost daily and I can tell you, it works!. And yes, copies are still available at The Life Abundant.

Get one today. You won't be sorry.

Samantha

To Want to be Rich is Normal

If you are a normal person you have an inbred desire to be rich. Getting rich is one of the most necessary of endeauours. If you neglect this, you are really derelict in your duty to yourself, to God, and to humanity, for you can render no greater service than to make the most of yourself. And to do so you must be rich.

To get started on the path to wealth, a visit to The Life Abundant web site would be most beneficial. Give it a try.

Samantha

Happiness

Your highest happiness lies in the giving of benefits to those you love. Love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. If you have nothing to give you can't possibly adequately fulfill your role as a spouse, parent, citizen or person in general.

You need the use of things to develop your body, your mind, and your soul. And without these things you remain well below your full potential. It is, therefore, of great importance that you should be rich.

You can investigate this further by visiting me at Samantha's Place

See you there.

Samantha

It is Your Nature to Want to be All That You Can Be

Your right to life means the right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things necessary for your fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, your right to be rich.

If you own all you want for living all the life you are capable of living you are rich. And... if you don't have a lot of money how can you possibly have all you want? How can you possibly achieve completeness in mind, body and soul?

It is human nature for a person to want to be all that they can be, and that holds true for you. There is nothing wrong in wanting to be rich. That desire is is the desire for a richer, fuller and more abundant life. With a little help it can be yours.

A visit to Samantha's Place would be well worth your time. What have you got to lose?

Samantha

Do you have a "Right" to be rich?

Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remanins that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless you are rich. You cannot rise to your greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless you have plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent you must have many things to use; and you cannot have these things unless you have the money to buy them with.

Yes! You do have the right to be rich!

Samantha

Who Is In Control?

Like most people you like to think that you are in control of your life, that you are the one making the decisions in your life, that the lack of the success you desire is of your own doing.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

As you were being formed in your mother's womb, and as you entered this world of ours,Your potential was unlimited. You were a child of promise. You had the wherewithal to be anything and everything a person could ever want to be. You had the potential and the capability to be the richest person on this planet. You had the potential to be the greatest surgeon, engineer, architect, stage personality, or movie star this world has ever known. You had everything. You had it made!

But by the time you had reached the age of six all that had been taken from you. By the time you had reached the age of six your life path had been fixed. It had been cast in concrete. You had nothing to say about it. You were no longer the master of your fate, and unless something drastic occurred to change that at some later stage in your life, That is still where you are today.

Find out the truth! Find out why your life is the way that it is, and what you can do to change it.

Who Are You?

Who are you? – Really.

Often, when I am at a cocktail party or other social gathering and things seem to be slowing down a little, I’ll walk up to a stranger and say, “Hi, my name is Samantha. And you are...?”

A loaded question, if there is one, because the answer is always something like, “Hi, I’m Jane.”

I am often tempted to reply with “No you’re not,” but usually I just smile at my internal joke and continue with some form of polite conversation.

In actual fact, she is not “Jane.” That just happens to be her name.

Of course we all have names. You have one.

You have a great many possessions, not the least of which is your name. You have clothes, books, a postal address, probably an email address, (or two), a car, a personal computer, a telephone, a cell phone, telephone numbers, a television set, several radios, probably an iPod or mp3 player, and who knows what else. These are your possessions! They are NOT who you are, although there are those who would like you to believe that you are. (“Clothes make the man!”)

Imagine witnessing this conversation at a gathering: “Hello, I’m the three story brownstone house similar to the one at the corner of Fifth and Main. Nice to meet you.” “Nice to meet you too. I’m the black, 2009 Cadillac Sedan deVille.” Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?

You are NOT your possessions. But then, if you are not, who are you?

That question should definitely give you pause for thought.

The answer comes from Chapter Six in Dr. Wayne W. Dyer’s book, “The Power Of Intention” where he says,

“You are an infinite spiritual being...
having a human experience.”

You are not a human being who has spiritual experiences.

Think about it.

Perhaps it's time to reevaluate your approach to Life.

Samantha

What is your purpose in life?

I strongly believe we were put here, on this beautiful, bountiful planet, for a very good reason. I believe we are here to live all the life we are capable of living! That’s right, ALL the life we are CAPABLE of living.

How do you know if you are?

There is one simple, acid test which you can use to find out.

If you have dreams of a better life, if you have a desire for more of anything which you think will make your life better than it now is, that is an indication that you are not living up to your potential. That is the signal from deep inside you that you are truly capable of living more. Whether it is a fuller life you desire, more money you need, love you don’t have, or whatever else it may be, your inner mind is telling you there is something deep inside you that needs fuller expression. You are not living all the life you are capable of living.

And without a chosen purpose in life, you never will.

Why are you here?

You are here to live all the life you are capable of living, and to live it with zest and joyfulness, and in accordance with your chosen purpose. And when you do you not only make this world a better place, the entire Universe experiences increase.

So, if you need help in fulfilling your dreams, you will find a visit to The Life Abundant and to About Samantha well worth while.

Samantha

I just smile.

I can’t tell you how often people have come up to me at a social gathering and said something like, “I sure wish I had your money!” I don’t ask them why. I just smile.

I used to reply that they could have as much money as they think I have. I used to ask them to imagine their annual salary becoming their monthly salary. The usual response I got to that was that I must be a dreamer, and that such a thing would be totally impossible.

Of course, they were right on both accounts! First and foremost, I am a dreamer, but I put my dreams to work! And second, as the late Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can’t, you are absolutely correct.”

Why do I just smile? Well, I don’t want to appear sad, but sad is what I feel for them. They do not realize that they, and they alone, have put the limits on their lives. So they just dream of the life they have forced themselves to believe that they can never have.

They refuse to believe me when I tell them otherwise. The number of original excuses I hear continues to amaze me.

And so I just smile.

What are you afraid of?

Through my web site I offer seven free lessons to help people get started on their way to wealth and an abundant life. Yes, seven FREE lessons. Lessons with no strings attached.

My chosen purpose in life is to share with others the means by which they can learn to create their own world and enjoy an abundant life, and those seven free lessons were the ones that got me started on my way to wealth. I just wanted to pass on what I had learned so that others could enjoy what I now enjoy.

The interesting thing is that of the many hundreds of visitors to my web site, none has taken me up on that offer. NOT ONE!

I can’t help but wonder why.

Are you afraid that the offer is some kind of scam? (How can something that is free be a scam?)

Are you afraid that you might learn that wealth doesn’t come from your 9 to 5 job? (If you haven’t already figured that out you have my sympathy.)

Are you afraid that you might learn that you could have already been started on your way to a richer, fuller life, and rather than face that fact, have chosen to remain in your comfortable ignorance?

Here’s an interesting set of statistics taken from the US Bureau of Statistics.

If you take a random sample of 100 wage earning people and follow them through the normal 40 years of their working lives, at the end of that time you will find that:

1 - will be wealthy.
4 - will be financially secure.
5 - will continue working, not because they want to but because they have to!
36 - will be dead.
54 - will be dead broke - dependent on the meagre Social Security checks, relatives, friends and even charity for a minimum standard of living.

That means 5% successful, and 95% unsuccessful. That’s scary!

I am so happy and grateful that I have risen from the 95% to that top 1%, and I did it well after the age of 50!

So, what are you afraid of?

If I were you, I would be afraid of being in that 95% of all people who will be unsuccessful in life, because unless you change the way you do things, that’s where you are going to end up.

Samantha
The life of abundance is yours for the taking! Go for it!

Individual coaching from Bob Proctor

Have I got news for you!

Several months ago I accepted an invitation from Bob Proctor, multi-millionaire and one of the world’s leading motivational speakers, to experience one-on-one individual coaching. Each daily session was a mere six minutes long, at a cost of less than $10.00 a week! This from a man who gets $12,000.00 from each person who attends a similar weekend seminar. Well, at first I was a bit sceptical, but he offered to coach me free for the first week, with a chance to back out at the end of that week. What did I have to lose?

What did I have to lose? I’ll tell you what I had to lose. Had I not accepted his offer, I would be $10,000.00 poorer right now! That’s right, $10,000.00. Let me explain.

At the very first six minute session I was asked to write down a goal to be achieved in 90 days. I put down that I would receive $10,000.00 in extra income from MSIs.

Well guess what? Ta da!!!!

So, ask me, will I do it again? You bet. Only the next time I won’t be setting my sights so low! On that you can bet your last dollar!

Oh, and what’s an "MSI" ? Well you’ll have to let Bob Proctor tell you that.

For the full scoop go to my web site and click on the banner, "The Most Incredible Six Minutes Of Your Life" which you will find near the bottom of the opening page. I guarantee, you won't be sorry.

Setting and Achieving Your Goals

Bob Proctor, author and speaker contends, “If you know what to do to reach your goal, it’s not a big enough goal.”

I think that needs an explanation!

Wallace Wattles, in his book, "The Science of Getting Rich", says we need to think and ask "largely".

Bob Proctor teaches that achieving a goal is a three step process. Esther Hicks says exactly the same thing.

Step one is to have your goal clearly envisioned in your mind. Wallace Wattles says that you must keep this picture in your thoughts with the fixed purpose to get what you want and the unwavering faith that you will get what you want. This is the “asking” step. It is up to you to complete this step.

Step two is the "answering" step. This is where the Law of Attraction comes into play. It is not up to you to do anything to complete this step. It is entirely up to The Universe! This is where having the unshakeable faith that your goal will be achieved comes into play. You may not know HOW you are going to achieve your goal. Indeed, you probably do not! The Universe will show you the way.

Step three is the "receiving" step. If your thoughts are in line with The Universe, if you are living and thinking in “The Certain Way,” which is by the laws of The Universe, you will recognize the answer when it comes, and you will already have taken the necessary action to receive it!

Incredible as it may seem, this is true for everything in your life! Everything!
