As the rest of the world wonders about shutdowns, ballgames or putting food on the table, I am in week two of Master Key Mastermind. The ability to get everything done is not possible and it all gets done.

Charles Haanel wrote : Ease and perfection depend entirely upon the degree in which we cease to depend upon the consciousness; playing the piano, skating, operating the typewriter, the skilled trades, depend for their perfect execution on the process of the sub-conscious mind. The marvel of playing a brilliant piece on the piano, while at the same time conducting a vigorous conversation, shows the greatness of our subconscious powers.

Far too many forget that there is a path to get the subconscious to do your bidding… The short explanation is… practice and then practice some more.

If you do not do enough to progress to unconscious competence you’ll always play catch up or worse. The power available to us is sourced or found in our subconscious. As long as we are the one to control it. If you are letting the TV, your past, music, every off hand comment push or pull you … you are not in control.

Haanel wrote : The subconscious mind never sleeps, never rests, any more than does your heart, or your blood. It has been found that by plainly stating to the subconscious mind certain specific things to be accomplished, forces are set in operation that lead to the result desired. Here, then, is a source of power which places us in touch with Omnipotence. Here in is a deep principle which is well worth our most earnest study.

For the last year I have been careful to spend the last five to ten minutes imagining the most perfect tomorrow. The course has added time and more thoughts to the package BUT the unconscious will get it all done. How are you spending your last few moments before you fall asleep? Watching the news? Running all the days upsets through your conscious mind for review so your unconscious can produce more of the same for you tomorrow… or the next day. You can change that tonight!

If you are hoping things will change and you continue feeding your subconscious the same ‘food’ you are wasting the power of ‘hope’ on a fools dream. You are in a hostage situation. Your past is running your subconscious and you are only using your conscious mind, the one that should be in charge, to validate, justify and excuse everything your past throws up on you … and everyone else.

You are stuck in stage one built buy the past … and it insured your survival, but if you want to thrive it is time to retake control.

Haanel wrote : Some one may ask: “How can the subconscious change conditions?” The reply is, because the subconscious is a part of the Universal Mind and a part must be the same in kind and quality as the whole; the only difference is one of degree. The whole, as we know, is creative, in fact, it is the only creator there is, consequently, we find that mind is creative, and as thought is the only activity which the mind possesses, thought must necessarily be creative also.

To put your mind to work takes action on your part. An act of YOUR imagination.

What’s caught me lately is the notion that the future is caused by imagination. An imagination of the life causes a leading of the life, rather than the leading of the life causes my way of thinking. And I just know it’s powerful, I never quite know how to get at it. I like the language of possibility. ‘Cause it’s hard. It’s the possibility I’m living into…’ But the idea that if I hold a possibility, or a future, of the way I want the world to be, then I bring that into the room with me every time I show up. I don’t have to work on it… it works on me. Now that to me is beautiful. – Peter Block

What future are you imagining!???
