CHAPTER 12: THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND: the Connecting Link (the Eleventh Step to Riches)

- THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND consists of a field of consciousness, in which every impulse of thought that reaches the objective mind through any of the five senses, is classified and recorded, and from which thoughts may be recalled or withdrawn.

- You may VOLUNTARILY plant in your subconscious mind any plan, thought, or purpose which you desire to translate into its physical or monetary equivalent.

- Consider this in connection with the instructions given in the chapter on DESIRE,

- The thirteen principles are the stimuli with which you acquire the ability to reach, and to influence your subconscious mind.

- The subconscious mind may be voluntarily directed only through habit, under the directions given in the chapter on FAITH. You have not yet had time to master faith. Be patient. Be persistent.

- If you fail to plant DESIRES in your subconscious mind, it will feed upon the thoughts which reach it as the result of your neglect.

- Everything which man creates, BEGINS in the form of a thought impulse. Through the aid of the imagination, thought impulses may be assembled into plans.

- THE SEVEN MAJOR POSITIVE EMOTIONS

• The emotion of DESIRE
• The emotion of FAITH
• The emotion of LOVE
• The emotion of SEX
• The emotion of ENTHUSIASM
• The emotion of ROMANCE
• The emotion of HOPE

- THE SEVEN MAJOR NEGATIVE EMOTIONS (To be avoided)

• The emotion of FEAR
• The emotion of JEALOUSY
• The emotion of HATRED
• The emotion of REVENGE
• The emotion of GREED
• The emotion of SUPERSTITION
• The emotion of ANGER

- Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time. One or the other must dominate. It is your responsibility to make sure that positive emotions constitute
the dominating influence of your mind. Here the law of HABIT will come to your aid.

- FAITH and FEAR make poor bedfellows. Where one is found, the other cannot exist.
