WHY WE SLEEP

 

                                          YOUR SLEEP AND YOUR LIFE

         

                    YOU SPEND ABOUT EIGHT OUT OF EVERY TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, OR ONE-THIRD OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, IN SLEEP. THIS IS AN INEXORABLE LAW OF LIFE. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO THE ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE KINGDOMS. SLEEP IS A DIVINE LAW, AND MANY ANSWERS TO OUR PROBLEMS COME TO US WHEN WE ARE SOUND ASLEEP UPON THE BED. MANY PEOPLE HAVE ADVOCATED THE THEORY THAT YOU GET TIRED DURING THE DAY, THAT YOU GO TO SLEEP TO REST THE BODY, AND THAT A REPARATIVE PROCESS TAKES PLACE WHILE YOU SLEEP. NOTHING RESTS IN SLEEP. YOUR HEART, LUNGS, AND ALL YOUR VITAL ORGANS FUNCTION WHILE YOU ARE ASLEEP. IF YOU EAT PRIOR TO SLEEP, THE FOOD IS DIGESTED AND ASSIMILATED ALSO, YOUR SKIN SECRETES PERSPIRATION, AND YOUR NAILS AND HAIR CONTINUE TO GROW. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND NEVER RESTS OR SLEEPS. IT IS ALWAYS ACTIVE, CONTROLLING ALL YOUR VITAL FORCES. THE HEALING PROCESS TAKES PLACES MORE RAPIDLY WHILE YOU ARE ASLEEP AS THERE IS NO INTERFERENCE FROM YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND. REMARKABLE ANSWER ARE GIVEN TO YOU WHILE YOU ARE ASLEEP.

                                                     WHY WE SLEEP

                 DR. JOHN BIGELOW, A FAMOUS RESEARCH AUTHORITY ON SLEEP, DEMONSTRATED THAT AT NIGHT WHILE ASLEEP YOU RECEIVE IMPRESSIONS SHOWING THAT THE NERVES OF THE EYES, EARS, NOSE, AND TASTE BUDS ARE ACTIVE DURING SLEEP, AND ALSO THAT THE NERVES OF YOUR BRAIN ARE QUITE ACTIVE. HE SAYS THAT THE MAIN REASON WE SLEEP IS BECAUSE "THE NOBLE PART OF THE SOUL IS UNITED BY ABSTRACTION TO OUR HIGHTER NATURE AND BECOMES A PARTICIPANTS IN THE WISDOM AND FOREKNOWLEDGE OF THE GODS".

             DR. BIGELOW STATES ALSO, "THE RESULTS OF MY STUDIES HAVE NOT ONLY STRENGTHENED MY CONVICTIONS THAT THE SUPPOSED EXEMPTION FROM CUSTOMARY TOILS AND ACTIVITIES WAS NOT THE FINAL PURPOSE OF SLEEP, BUT HAVE ALSO MADE CLEARER TO MY MIND THE CONVICTION THAT NO PART OF A MAN'S LIFE DESERVES TO BE CONSIDERED MORE INDISPENSABLE TO ITS SYMMETRICAL AND PERFECT SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT THAN THE WHILE HE IS SEPERATED FROM THE PHENOMENAL WORLD IN SLEEP".

                                            PRAYER, A FORM OF SLEEP

                YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND GETS INVOLVED WITH VEXATIONS, STRIFE, AND CONTENTIONS OF THE DAY, AND IT IS VERY NECESSARY TO WITHDRAW PERIODICALLY FROM SENSE EVIDENCE AND THE OBJECTIVE WORLD, AND COMMUNE SILENTLY WITH THE INNER WISDOM OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. BY CLAIMING GUIDANCE, STRENGTH, AND GREATER INTELLIGENCE IN ALL PHASES OF YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL BE ENABLED TO OVERCOME ALL DIFFICULTIES AND SOLVE YOUR DAILY PROBLEMS.

               THIS REGULAR WITHDRAWAL FROM SENSE EVIDENCE AND THE NOISE AND CONFUSION OF EVERYDAY LIVING IS ALSO A FORM OF SLEEP, I.E, YOU BECOME ASLEEP TO THE WORLD OF THE SENSES AND ALIVE TO THE WISDOM AND POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

                          STARTLING EFFECTS OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION

                 LACK OF SLEEP CAN CAUSE YOU TO BECOME IRRITABLE, MOODLY, AND DEPRESSED. DR. GEORGE STEVENSON OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR MENTAL HEALTH SAYS, "I BELIEVE IT CAN SAFELY BE SAID THAT ALL HUMAN BEINGS NEED TO MINIMUM OF SIX HOURS, SLEEP TO BE HEALTHY. MOST PEOPLE NEED MORE. THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN GET ALONG ON LESS ARE FOOLING THEMSELVES."

                      MEDICAL RESEARCH SCHOLARS, INVESTIGATING SLEEP PROCESSES AND DEPRIVATION OF SLEEP, POINT OUT THAT SEVERE INSOMNIA HAS PRECEEDED PSYCHOTIC BREAKDOWN IN SOME INSTANCES.

                     REMEMBER, YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY RECHARGED DURING SLEEP, AND ADEQUATE SLEEP IS ESSENTIAL TO PRODUCE JOY AND VITALITY IN LIFE.

                                          YOU NEED MORE SLEEP

                ROBERT O'BRIEN, AN ARTICLE, "MAYBE YOU NEED MORE SLEEP," IN AN ISSUE OF THE READER'S DIGEST, REPORTS THE FOLLOWING EXPERIMENT ON SLEEP. "FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS EXPERIMENTS HAVE BEEN IN PROGRESS AT WALTER REED ARMY EXPERIMENTS HAVE BEEN IN PROGRESS AT WALTER REED ARMY INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH IN WASHINGTON. D.C. SUBJECTS-MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED MILITARY AND CIVILIAN VOLUTEERS-HAVE BEEN KEPT AWAKE FOR AS LONG AS FOUR DAYS. THOUSANDS OF TEETS HAVE MEASURED THE EFFECTS ON THEIR BEHAVIOR AND PERSONALITY. RESULTS OF THESE TESTSHAVE GIVEN SCIENTISTS ASTONSHINGLY NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE MYSTERIES OF SLEEP. THEY NOW KNOW THAT THE TIRED BRAIN APPRARENTLY CRAVES SLEEP SO HUNGRILY THAT IT WILL SACRIFICE ANYTHING TO GET IT. 

                  AFTER ONLY A FEW HOURS OF SLEEP LOSS, FLEETING STOLEN NAPS CALLED "LAPSES", OR MICRO-SLEEP, OCCURED AT THE RATE OF THREE OR FOUR AN HOUR. AS IN REAL SLEEP, EYELIDS DROOPED, HEARTBEAT SLOWED. EACH LAPSE LASTED JUST A FRACTION OF A SECOND. SOMETIMES THE LAPSES WERE PERIODS OF BLANKNESS, SOMETIMES THEY WERE FILLED WITH IMAGES, WISPS OF DREAMS. AS HOURS OF SLEEP LOSS MOUNTED, THE LAPSES TOOK PLACES MORE OFTEN AND LASTED LONGER, PERHAPS TOOK PLACE MORE OFTEN AND LASTED LONGER, PERHAPS TWO OR THREE SECONDS. EVEN IF THE SUBJECTS HAD BEEN PILOTING AN AIRLINES IN A THUNDERSTORM, THEY STILL COULDN'T HAVE RESISTED MICRO-SLEEPS FOR THOSE FEW PRICELESS SECONDS. AND IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU, AS MANY WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL OF A CAR CAN TESTIFY. 

                     ANOTHER STARTLING EFFECT TO SLEEP DEPRIVATION WAS ITS ATTACK ON HUMAN MEMORY AND PERCEPTION. MANY SLEEP-DEPRIVED SUBJECTS WERE UNABLE TO RETAIN INFORMATION LONG ENOUGH TO RELATE IT TO THE TASK THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PERFORM. THEY WERE TOTALLY BEFUDDLED IN SITUATION REQUIRING THEM TO HOLD SEVERAL FACTORS IN MIND AND ACT ON THEM, AS A PILOT MUST WHEN HE SKILLFULLY INTEGRATES WIND DIRECTION, AIR SPEED,  ATTITUDE, AND GLIDE PATH TO MAKE A SAFE LANDING.

                                                SLEEP BRINGS COUNSEL

 

                   A YOUNG LADY IN LOS ANGELES WHO LISTENS TO MY MORNING RADIO TALKS TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD BEEN OFFERED A LUCRATIVE POSITION IN NEW YORK CITY AT TWICE HER PRESENT SALARY. WHE WAS WONDERING WHETHER TO ACCEPT OR NOT AND PRAYED  PRIOR TO SLEEP AS FOLLOWS. "THE CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE OF MY SUBCONSCIOUS MIND KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR ME. ITS TENDENCY IS ALWAYS LIFEWARD, AND IT REVEALS TO ME THE RIGHT DECISION, WHICH BLESSES ALL CONCERNED. I GIVE THANKS FOR THE ANSWER WHICH I KNOW WILL COME TO ME".

                SHE REPEATED THIS SIMPLE PRAYER OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS A LULLABY PRIOR TO SLEEP, AND IN THE MORNING SHE HAD SHE REJECTED THE OFFER AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS VERIFIED HER INWARD SENSE OF KNOWING, BECAUSE THE COMPANY WENT BANKRUPT IN A FEW MONTHS FOLLOWING THEIR OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT TO HER.

                THE CONSCIOUS MIND MAY BE CORRECT ON THE FACTS OBJECTIVELY KNOWN, BUT THE INTUITIVE FACULTY OF HER SUBCONSCIOUS MIND SAW THE FAILURE OF THE CONCERN IN QUESTION, AND PROMPTED HER ACCORDINGLY.

                                         SAVED FROM CERTAIN DISASTER

                                

                   I WILL ILLUSTRATE HOW THE WISDOM OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND CAN INSTRUCT YOU AND PROTECT YOU RELATIVE TO YOUR REQUEST FOR RIGHT ACTION AS YOU GO TO SLEEP. MANY YEARS AGO, BEFORE THE SECOND WORLD WAR, I WAS OFFERED A VERY LUCRATIVE ASSIGNMENT IN THE ORIENT, AND I PRAYED FOR GUIDANCE AND THE RIGHT DECISION AS FOLLOWS. "INFINITE INTELLIGENCE WITHIN ME KNOWS ALL THINGS, AND THE RIGHT DECISION IS REVEALED TO ME IN DIVINE ORDER. I WILL RECOGNIZE THE ANSWER WHEN IT COMES".

              I REPEATED THIS SIMPLE PRAYER OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS A LULLABY PRIOR TO SLEEP, AND IN A DREAM CAME THE VIVID REALIZATION OF THINGS TO COME THREE YEARS HENCE. AN OLD FRIEND APPEARED IN THE DREAM AND SAID. READ THESE HEADLINES-DO NOT GO!". THE HEADLINES OF THE NEWSPAPER, WHICH APPEAREDIN THE DREAM, RELATED TO WAR AND THE ATTACK ON PEARLY HARBOR.

               OCCASIONALLY, THE WRITER DREAMS LITERALLY. THE AFOREMENTIONED DREAM WAS UNDOUBTEDLY A DRAMATIZATION OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WHICH PROJECTED A PERSON WHOM I TRUSTED AND RESPECTED. TO SOME A WARNING MAY COME IN THE FORM OF A MOTHER, WHO APPEARS IN A DREAM.

 

               OCCASIONALLY, THE WRITER DREAMS LITERALLY. THE AFOREMENTIONED DREAM WAS UNDOUBTEDLY A DRAMATIZATION OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WHICH PROJECTED A PERSON WHOM I TRUSTED AND RESPECTED. TO SOME A WARNING MAY COME IN THE FORM OF A MOTHER, WHO APPEARS IN A DREAM.

             SHE TELLS THE PERSON NOT TO GO HERE OR THERE, AND THE REASON FOR THE WARNING. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IS ALLWISE. IT KNOWS ALL THINGS. OFTENTIMES IT WILL SPEAK TO YOU ONLY IN A VOICE THAT YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND WILL IMMEDIATELY ACCEPT AS TRUE. SOMETIMES YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS WILL WARN YOU IN A VOICE WHICH SOUNDS LIKE THAT OF YOUR MOTHER OR SOME LOVED ONE WHICH MAY CAUSE YOU TO STOP ON THE STREET, AND YOU FIND, IF YOU HAD GONE ANOTHER FOOT, A FALLING STREET, AND YOU FIND, IF YOU HAD GONE ANOTHER FOOT, A FALLING STREET, AND YOU FIND, IF YOU HAD GONE ANOTHER FOOT, A FALLING OBJECT FROM A WINDOW MIGHT HAVE STRUCK YOU ON THE HEAD.

                       MY SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IS ONE WITH THE UNIVERSAL SUBCONSCIOUS, AND IT KNEW THE JAPANESE WERE PLANNING A WAR, AND IT ALSO KNEW WHEN THE WAR WOULD START.

      

                     DR. RHINE, DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY, HAS GATHERED TOGETHER A VAST AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE SHOWING THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD SEE EVENTS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN, AND IN MANY INSTANCES ARE, THEREFORE, ABLE TO AVOID THE TRAGIC EVEN WHICH WAS FORESEEN VIVIDLY IN A DREAM.

                    THE DREAM WHICH I HAD SHOWED CLEARLY THE HEADLINES IN THE NEW YORK TIMES ABOUT THREE YEARS PRIOR TO THE TRAGEDY OF PEARLY HARBOR. IN CONSEQUENCE OF THIS DREAM, I IMMEDIATELY CANCELLED THE TRIP AS I FELT A SUBCONSCIOUS COMPULSION TO DO SO. THREE YEARS LATER THE SECOND WORLD WAR PROVED THE TRUTH OF THE INNER VOICE OF INTUITION.

HOW TO HEAL YOURSELF

 

                                                    HEALING YOURSELF

                  * REMIND YOURSELF FREQUENTLY THAT THE HEALING POWER IS IN YOUR OWN SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

                  * KNOW THAT FAITH IS LIKE A SEED PLANTED IN THE GROUND, IT GROWS AFTER ITS KIND. PLANT THE IDEA (SEED) IN YOUR MIND, WATER AND FERTILIZE IT WITH EXPECTANCY, AND IT WILL MANIFEST.

                  * THE IDEA YOU HAVE FOR A BOOK, NEW INVENTION, OR PLAY IS REAL IN YOUR MIND. THIS IS WHY YOU CAN BELIEVE YOU HAVE IT NOW. BELIEVE IN THE REALITY OF YOUR IDEA, PLAN, OR INVENTION, AND AS YOU DO, IT WILL BECOME MANIFEST.

                * IN PRAYING FOR ANOTHER, KNOW THAT YOUR SILENT INNER KNOWING OF WHOLENESS, BEAUTY, AND PERFECTION CAN CHANGE THE NEGATIVE PATTERNS OF THE OTHER'S SUBCONSCIOUS MIND AND BRING ABOUT WONDERFUL RESULTS.

                * THE MIRACULOUS HEALINGS YOU HEAR ABOUT AT VARIOUS SHRINES ARE DUE TO IMAGINATION AND BLIND FAITH WHICH ACT ON THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, RELEASING THE HEALING POWER.

              * ALL DESIRES ORIGINATES IN THE MIND. NOTHING APPEARS ON THE BODY UNLESS THERE IS A MENTAL PATTERNS CORRESPONDING TO IT.

             * THE SYMPTOMS OF ALMOST ANY DISEASE CAN BE INDUCED IN YOU BY HYPNOTIC SUGGESTION. THIS SLOWS YOU THE POWER OF YOUR THOUGHT.

            * THERE IS ONLY ONE PROCESS OF HEALING AND THAT IS FAITH. THERE IS ONLY ONE HEALING POWER, NAMELY, YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

           * WHETHER THE OBJECT OF YOUR FAITH IS REAL OR FALSE, YOU WILL GET RESULTS. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND RESPONDS TO THE THOUGHT IN YOUR MIND. LOOK UPON FAITH AS A THOUGHT IN YOUR MIND, AND THAT WILL SUFFICE.

                                         IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING

                * YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND CONTROLS ALL THE VIRAL PROCESSESS OF YOUR BODY AND KNOWS THE ANSWER TO ALL PROBLEMS.

                * PRIOR TO SLEEP, TURN OVER A SPECIFIC REQUEST TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND AND PROVE ITS MIRACLE-WORKING POWER TO YOURSELF.

                * WHATEVER YOU IMPRESS ON YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IS EXPRESSED ON THE SCREEN OF SPACE AS CONDITIONS, EXPERIENCES, AND EVENTS. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY WATCH ALL IDEAS AND THOUGHTS ENTERTAINED IN YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND.

              * THE LAW OF ACTION AND REACTION IS UNIVERSAL. YOUR THOUGHT IS ACTION, AND THE REACTION IS THE AUTOMIC RESPONSE OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND TO YOUR THOUGHT. WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS!

            * ALL FRUSTRATION IS DUE TO UNFULFILLED DESIRES. IF YOU DWELL ON OBSTACLES, DELAYS, AND DIFFICULTIES, YOUR SUBCONSIOUS MIND RESPONDS ACCORDINGLY, AND YOU ARE BLOCKING YOUR OWN GOOD.

           * THE LIFE PRINCIPLE WILL FLOW THROUGH YOU RHYTHMICALLY AND HARMONIOUSLY IF YOU CONSCIOUSLY AFFIRM. THE BELIEVE THAT THE SUBCONSCIOUS POWER WHICH GAVE ME THIS DESIRE IS NOW FULFILLING IT THOUGH ME. THIS DISSOLVES ALL CONFLICTS.

  

          * YOU CAN INTERFERE WITH THE NORMAL RHYTHM OF YOUR HEART, LUNGS, AND OTHER ORGANS BY WORRY, ANXIETY AND FEAR. FEED YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS WITH THOUGHTS OF HARMONY, HEALTH, AND PEACE, AND ALL THE FUNTIONS OF YOUR BODY WILL BECOME NORMAL AGAIN.

          * KEEP YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND BUSY WITH THE EXPECTATION OF THE BEST, AND YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS WITH FAITHFULLY REPRODUCE YOUR HABITUAL THINKING.

          * IMAGINE THE HAPPY ENDING OR SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM, FEEL THE THRILL OF ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND WHAT YOU IMAGINE AND FEEL WILL BE ACCEPTED BY YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND AND BRING IT TO PASS.

                                               IDEAS WORTH RECALLING

                 1. MENTAL COERCION OR TOO MUCH EFFORT SHOWS ANXIETY AND FEAR, WHICH BLOCK YOUR ANSWER. EASY DOES IT.

 

                2. WHEN YOUR MIND IS RELAXED AND YOU ACCEPT AN IDEA, YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS GOES TO WORK TO EXECUTE THE IDEA.

               3. THINK AND PLAN INDEPENDENTLY OF TRADITIONALY METHODS. KNOW THAT THERE IS ALWAYS AN ANSWER AND A SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM.

              4. DO NOT BE OVERLY CONCERNED WITH THE BEATING OF YOUR HEART, WITH THE BREATHING OF YOUR LUNGS, OR THE FUNCTIONS OF ANY PART OF YOUR ANATOMY. LEAN HEAVILY UPON YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS AND PROCLAIM FREQUENTLY THAT DIVINE RIGHT ACTION IS TAKING PLACE.

            5. THE FEELING OF HEALTH PRODUES HEALTH, THE FEELING OF WEALTH PRODUCES WEALTH. HOW DO YOU FEEL?

           6. IMAGINATION IS YOUR MOST POWERFUL FACULTY. IMAGINE WHAT IS LIVELY AND OF GOOD REPORT. YOU ARE WHAT YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF TO BE.

          7. YOU AVOID CONFLICT BETWEEN YOUR CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS IN THE SLEEPY STATE. IMAGINE THE FULLFILLMENT OF YOUR DESIRE OVER AND OVER AGAIN PRIOR TO SLEEP. SLEEP IN PEACE AND WAKE IN JOY.

                                     FORGIVENESS IS LOVE IN ACTION

                THE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT IN THE ART OF FORGIVENESS IS THE WILLINGNESS TO FORGIVE IF YOU SINCERELY DESIRE TO FORGIVE THE OTHER, YOU ARE FIFTY-ONE PERCENT OVER THE HURDLE. I FEEL SURE YOU KNOW THAT TO FORFIVE THE OTHER DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT YOU LIKE HIM OR WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH HIM. YOU CANNOT TO COMPELLED TO LIKE SOMEONE, NEITHER CAN A GOVERNMENT LEGISLATE GOOD WILL, LOVE, PEACE, OR TOLERANCE. IT IS QUIET IMPOSSIBLE TO LIKE PEOPLE BECAUSE SOMEONE IN WASHINGTON ISSUES AN EDICT TO THAT EFFECT. WE CAN, HOWEVER, LOVE PEOPLE WITHOUT LIKING THEM. THE BIBLE SAYS, LOVE OF ONE ANOTHER. THIS, ANYONE CAN DO WHO REALLY WANTS TO DO IT. LOVE MEANS THAT YOU WISH  FOR THE OTHER HEALTH, HAPPINESS, PEACE, JOY, AND ALL THE BLESSINGS OF LIFE. THERE IS ONLY ONE PREREQUISTITE, AND THAT IS SINCERITY. YOU ARE NOT BEING MAGNANIMOUS WHEN YOU FORGIVE, YOU ARE REALLY BEING SELFISH, BECAUSE WHAT YOU WISH FOR THE OTHER, YOU ARE ACTUALLY WISHING FOR YOURSELF. THE REASON IS THAT YOU ARE THINKING IT AND YOU ARE FEELING IT. AS YOU THINK AND FEEL, SO ARE YOU. COULD ANYTHING BE SIMPLER THAN THAT?

THINK AND VISUALIZE

 

                                         BODY AND SOUL (THE HEALING)

                                   A YOUNG MAN, WHO CAME TO MY LECTURES ON THE HEALING POWER OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, HAD SEVERE EYE TROUBLE, WHICH HIS DOCTOR SAID NECESSITATED AN OPERATION. HE SAID TO HIMSELF," MY SUBCONSCIOUS MADE MY EYES, AND IT CAN HEAL ME".

                          EACH NIGHT, AS HE WENT TO SLEEP, HE ENTERED INTO A DROWSY, MEDITATIVE STATE, THE CONDITION AKIN TO SLEEP. HIS ATTENTION WAS IMMOBILIZED AND FOCUSED ON THE EYE DOCTOR. HE IMAGINED THE DOCTOR WAS IN FRONT OF HIM, AND HE PLAINLY HEARD, OR IMAGINED HE HEARD THE DOCTOR SAYING TO HIM, "A MIRACLE HAS HAPPENED" HE HEARD THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN EVERY NIGHT FOR PERHAPS FIVE MINUTES OR SO BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP. AT THE END OF THREE WEEKS HE AGAIN WENT EYES, AND THE PHYSICIAN SAID TO THIS MAN, "THIS IS A MIRACLE". WHAT HAPPENED" THIS MAN IMPRESSED HIS SUBCONSCIOUS MIND USING THE DOCTOR AS AN INSTRUMENT OR A MEANS OF CONVINCING IT OR CONVEYING THE IDEA. THROUGH REPETITION, FAITH, AND EXPECTANCY HE IMPREGNATED HIS SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. HIS SUBCONSCIOUS MIND MADE HIS EYE, WITHIN IT WAS THE PERFECT PATTERN, AND IMMEDIATELY IT PRECEEDED TO HEAL THE EYE. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW FAITH IN THE HEALING POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS CAN MAKE YOU WHOLE.

                                                    POINTER TO REVIEW

                        * YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS IS THE BUILDER OF YOUR BODY AND IS  ON THE JOB 24 HOURS A DAY. YOU INTERFERE WITH ITS LIFE-GIVING PATTERNS BY NEGATIVE THINKING.

                       * CHARGE YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS WITH THE TASK OF EVOLVING AN ANSWER TO ANY PROBLEM, PRIOR TO SLEEP AND IT WILL ANSWER YOU.

                      * WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS. EVERY THOUGHT ACCEPTED AS TRUE IS SENT BY YOUR BRAIN TO YOUR SOLAR PLEXUS-YOUR ABNORMINAL BRAIN-AND IS BROUGHT INTO YOUR WORLD AS A REALITY.

                     * KNOW THAT YOU CAN REMAKE YOURSELF BY GIVING A NEW BLUE-PRINT TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

                    * THE TENDENCY OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS IS ALWAYS LIFEWARD. YOUR JOB IS WITH YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND. FEED YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WITH PREMISES, WHICH ARE TRUE. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS IS ALWAYS REPRODUCING ACCORDING TO YOUR HABITUAL MENTAL PATTERNS.

  

                   * YOU BUILD A NEW BODY EVERY ELEVEN MONTHS. CHANGE YOUR BODY BY CHANGING YOUR THOUGHTS AND KEEPING THEM CHANGED.

                 * THOUGHTS OF JEALOUSY, FEAR, WORRY, AND ANXIETY TEAR DOWN AND DESTROY YOUR NERVES AND GLANDS BRINGING ABOUT MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DISEASES OF ALL KINDS.

          

                 * WHAT  YOU AFFIRM CONSCIOUSLY AND FEEL AS TRUE WILL BE MADE MANIFEST IN YOUR MIND, BODY AND AFFAIRS. AFFIRM THE GOOD AND ENTER INTO THE JOY OF LIVING.

                     

                                     THE VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUE

                           

                    THE EASIEST AND MOST OBVIOUS WAY TO FORMULATE AN IDEA IS TO VISUALIZE IT, TO SEE IT IN YOUR MIND'S EYE AS VIVIDLY AS IF IT WERE ALIVE. YOU CAN SEE WITH THE NAKED EYE ONLY WHAT ALREADY EXISTS IN THE EXTERNAL WORLD. IN A SIMILAR WAY, THAT WHICH YOU CAN VISUALIZE IN YOUR MIND'S EYE ALREADY EXISTS IN THE INVISIBLE REALMS OF YOUR MIND. ANY PICTURE, WHICH YOUHAVE IN YOUR MIND, IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR AND THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. WHAT YOU FORM IN YOUR IMAGINATION IS AS REAL AS ANY PART OF YOUR BODY. THE IDEA AND THE THOUGHT ARE REAL AND WILL ONE DAY APPEAR IN YOUR OBJECTIVE WORLD IF YOU ARE FAITHFUL TO YOUR MENTAL IMAGE.

                   THIS PROCESS OF THINKING FORMS IMPRESSIONS IN YOUR MIND, THESE IMPRESSIONS IN TURN BECOME MANIFESTED AS FACTS AND EXPERIENCES IN YOUR LIFE. THE BUILDER VISUALIZES THE TYPE OF BUILDING HE WANTS, HE SEES IT AS HE DESIRES IT TO BE COMPLETED. HIS IMAGERY AND THOUGHT-PROCESSESS BECOME A PLASTIC MOLD FROM WHICH THE BUILDING WILL EMERGE-A BEAUTIFUL OR AN UGLY ONE, A SKYSCRAPER OR A VERY LOW ONE. HIS MENTAL IMAGERY IS PROJECTED AS IT IS DRAWN ON PAPER. EVENTUALLY, THE CONTRACTOR AND HIS WORKERS GATHER THE ESSENTIAL MATERIALS, AND THE BUILDING PROGRESSESS UNTIL IT STANDS FINISHED, CONFORMING PERFECTLY TO THE MENTAL PATTERNS OF THE ARCHITECT.

 

                 I USE THE VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUE PRIOR TO SPEAKING FROM THE PLATFORM. I QUIET THE WHEELS OF MY MIND IN ORDER THAT I MAY PRESENT TO THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND MY IMAGES OF THOUGHT.

                THEN, I  PICTURE THE ENTIRE AUDITORIUM AND THE SEATS FILLED WITH MEN AND WOMEN, AND EACH OF THEM ILLUMINATED AND INSPIRED BY THE INGINITE HEALING PRESENCE WITHIN EACH ONE. I SEE THEM AS RADIANT, HAPPY, AND FREE.

               HAVING FIRST BUILT UP THE IDEA IN MY IMAGINATION, I QUIETLY SUSTAIN IT THERE AS A MENTAL PICTURE WHILE I IMAGINE. I HEAR MEN AND WOMEN SAYING, I AM HEALED, I FEEL WONDERFUL, I'VE KEEP THIS UP FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES OR MORE, KNOWING AND FEELING THAT EACH PERSON'S MIND AND BODY ARE SATURATED WITH LOVE, WHOLENESS, BEAUTY, AND PERFECTION. MY AWARENESS GROWS TO THE POINT WHERE IN MY MIND I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE VOICES OF THE MULTITUDE PROCLAIMING THEIR HEALTH AND HAPPINESS, THEN I REALIZE THE WHOLE PICTURE AND GO INTO THE PLATFORM. ALMOST EVERY SUNDAY SOME PEOPLE STOP AND SAY THAT THEIR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED.

SUBCONSCIOUS POWER

 

                    TURN YOUR PROBLEMS TO THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

                  * REMEMBER THAT THE SUBCONSIOUS MIND HAS DETERMINED THE SUCCESS AND WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENTS OF ALL GREAT SCIENTIFIC WORKERS.

 

                  * BY GIVING YOUR CONSCIOUS ATTENTION AND DEVOTION TO THE SOLUTION OF A PERPLEXING PROBLEM, YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND GATHERS ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION AND PRESENTS IT FULL-BLOWN TO THE CONSCIOUS MIND.

                 * IF YOU ARE WONDERING ABOUT THE ANSWER TO  PROBLEM, TRY TO SOLVE IT OBJECTIVELY. GET ALL THE INFORMATION YOU CAN FROM RESEARCH AND ALSO FROM OTHERS. IF NO PRIOR  TO SLEEP, AND THE ANSWER ALWAYS COMES. IT NEVER FAILS.

                * YOU DO NOT ALWAYS GET THE ANSWER OVERNIGHT. KEEP ON TURNING YOUR REQUEST OVER TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS UNTIL THE DAYBREAKS AND THE SHADOWS FLEE AWAY.

 

                * YOU DELAY THE ANSWER BY THINKING IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME OR THAT IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS HAS NO PROBLEM IT KNOWS ONLY THE ANSWER.

                * BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE THE ANSWER NOW. FEEL THE JOY OF THE ANSWER AND THE WAY YOU WOULD FEEL IF YOU HAD THE PERFECT ANSWER. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS WILL RESPOND TO YOUR FEELING.

                * ANY MENTAL PICTURE, BACKED BY FAITH AND PERSEVERANCE, WILL COME TO PASS THROUGH THE MIRACLE - WORKING POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS. TRUST IT, BELIEVE IN ITS POWER, AND WONDERS WILL HAPPEN AS YOU PRAY.

                * YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS IS THE STOREHOUSE OF MEMORY, AND WITHIN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS ARE RECORDED ALL YOUR EXPERIENCE SINCE CHILDHOOD.

               * SCIENTISTS MEDITATING ON ANCIENT SCROLLS, TEMPLES, FOSSILS, ETC, ARE ABLE TO RECONSTRUCT SCENES OF THE PAST AND MAKE THEM ALIVE TODAY. THEIR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND COMES TO THEIR AID.

              * TURN OVER YOUR REQUEST FOR A SOLUTION TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS PRIOR TO SLEEP. TRUST IT AND BELIEVE IN IT, AND THE ANSWER WILL COME. IT KNOWS ALL THE SEES ALL, BUT YOU MUST NOT DOUBT OR QUESTIO ITS POWERS.

             * THE ACTION IS YOUR THOUGHT, AND THE REACTIO IS THE RESPONSE OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. IF YOUR THOUGHTS ARE WISE, YOUR ACTIONS AND DECISIONS WILL BE WISE.

            *  GUIDANCE COMES AS A FEELING, AN INNER AWARENESS, AN OVER-POWERING HUNCH WHEREBY YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW. IT IS AN INNER SENS OF TOUCH. FOLLOW IT.

                           YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

                  REMEMBER THAT THE FUTURE, THE RESULT OF YOUR HABITUAL THINKING, IS ALREADY IN YOUR MIND EXCEPT WHEN YOU CHANGE IT THROUGH PRAYER. THE FUTURE OF A COUNTRY, LIKEWISE, IS IN THE COLLECTIVE SUBCONSCIOUS OF THE PEOPLE OF THAT NATION. THERE IS NOTHING STRANGE IN THE DREAM I HAD WHEREIN I SAW THE HEADLINES OF THE NEW YORK NEWSPAPERS LONG BEFORE THE WAR BEGAN. THE WAR HAD ALREADY TAKEN PLACE IN MIND, AND ALL THE PLANS OF ATTACK WERE ALREADY ENGRAVED ON THAT GREAT RECORDING INSTRUMENT, THE SUBCONSIOUS MIND OR COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS OF THE UNIVERSAL MIND. TOMORROW'S EVENTS ARE IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, SO ARE NEXT WEEK'S AND NEXT MONTH'S AND THEY MAY BE SEEN BY A HIGHLY PSYCHIC OR CLAIRVOYANT PERSON.

                NO DISASTER OR TRAGEDY CAN HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU DECIDE TO PRAY, NOTHING IS PREDETERMINED OR FOREORDAINED. YOUR MENTAL ATTITUDE, I.E. THE WAY YOU THINK, FEEL, AND BELIEVE DETERMINES YOUR DESTINY. YOU CAN, THROUGH SCIENTIFIC PRAYER, WHICH IS EXPLAINED IN A PREVIOUS CHAPTER, MOLD, FASHION, AND CREATE YOUR OWN FUTURE. WHATSOVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.

                                        THE ANSWER TO HER PRAYER

                 SEVERAL MONTHS WENT BY. SHE HAD A GREAT NUMBER OF DATES AND SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS, NONE OF WHICH WAS AGREEABLE TO HER. WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT TO QUESTION, WAIVER, DOUBT, AND VACILLATE, SHE REMINDED HERSELF THAT THE INFINITE INTELLIGENCE WAS BRINGING IT TO PASS IN ITS OWN WAY AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. HER FINAL DECREE IN HER DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS WAS GRANTED WHICH BROUGHT HER A GREAT SENSE OF RELEASE AND MENTAL FREEDOM.

                  SHORTLY AFTERWARD SHE WENT TO WORK AS A RECEPTIONIST IN A DOCTOR'S OFFICE. SHE TOLD ME THAT THE MINUTE SHE SAW THE PHYSICIAN SHE KNEW HE WAS THE MAN SHE WAS PRAYING ABOUT.

                 APPARENTLY HE KNEW IT, TOO, BECAUSE HE PROPOSED TO HER THE FIRST WEEK SHE WAS IN THE OFFICE, AND THEIR SUBSEQUENT MARRIAGE WAS IDEALLY HAPPY. THIS PHYSICIAN WAS NOT THE PASSIVE OR SUBMISSIVE TYPE, BUT WAS A REAL MAN, A FORMER FOOTBALL PLAYER, AN OUTSTANDING ATHELETE, AND WAS A DEEPLY SPIRITUAL MAN THOUGH HE WAS COMPLETELY DEVOID OF ANY SECTARIAN OR DENOMINATIONAL AFFILIATION.

                   SHE GOT WHAT SHE PRAYED FOR BECAUSE SHE CLAIMED IT MENTALLY UNTIL SHE REACHED THE POINT OF SATURATION. IN OTHER WORDS, SHE MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY UNITED WITH HER IDEA, AND IT BECOMES A PART OF HER BLOOD STREAM.

                                     YOU MUST DESIRE TO BE HAPPY

                 THERE IS ONE VERY IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT BEING HAPPY. YOU MUST SINCERELY DESIRE TO BE HAPPY. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DEPRESSED, DEJECTED, AND UNHAPPY SO LONG THAT WAS THEY SUDDENLY MADE HAPPY BY SOME WONDERFUL, GOOD, JOYOUS NEWS, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY BE LIKE THE WOMAN WHO SAID TO ME, "IT IS WRONG TO BE SO HAPPY"! THEY HAVE BEEN SO ACCUSTOMED TO THE OLD MENTAL PATTERNS THAT THEY DO NOT FEEL AT HOME BEING HAPPY! THEY LONG FOR THE FORMER, DEPRESSED, UNHAPPY STATE.

               I KNEW A WOMAN IN ENGLAND WHO HAD RHEUMATISM FOR MANY YEARS. SHE WOULD PAT HERSELF ON THE KNEE AND SAY, "MY RHEUMATISM IS BAD TODAY. I CANNOT GO OUT. MY RHEUMATISM KEEPS ME MISERABLE". THIS DEAR ELDERLY LADY GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM HER SON, DAUGHTER, AND THE NEIGHBORS. SHE REALLY WANTED HER RHEUMATISM. SHE ENJOYED HER "MISERY" AS SHE CALLED IT. THIS WOMAN DID NOT REALLY WANT TO BE HAPPY. I SUGGESTED A CURATIVE PROCEDURE TO HER. I WROTE DOWN SOME BIBLICAL VERSES AND TOLD THAT HER THAT IF SHE GAVE ATTENTION TO THESE TRUTHS, HER MENTAL ATTITUDE WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY CHANGE AND WOULD RESULT IN HER FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN BEING RESTORED TO HEALTH. SHE WAS NOT STREAK IN MANY PEOPLE, WHEREBY THEY SEEM TO ENJOY BEING MISERBLE AND SAD.

                  TARAPANA  ARE WATER OFFERINGS OR LIBERATIONS - AS THEY ARE USUALLY CALLED - MADE TO THE DEITY OF YOUR MANTRA. ONE-TENTH OF YOUR YAJNA IS YOUR LIBERATION COUNT. ADD "OM TARPYAMI" AT THE END OF GAYATRI MANTRA WHILE CHANTING.

                                                               STEP 33

                                CORONATION (MARJANA OR ABHISHEKAM)

                        THE NUMBER OF  OFFERINGS DONE IN MARJANA IS ONE-TENTH THE NUMBER OF LIBERATIONS. TO DO  MARJANA, TAKE VESSEL NUMBER TWO CONTAINING WATER. JOINING YOUR THUMB AND RING FINGER, DIP IT IN WATER AND SPRINKLE ON YOUR HEAD WITH THE SAME MUDRA.

                      IN THE END, YOU CAN EITHER OFFER THIS WATER TO THE SUN OR POUR IT AT THE ROOT OF ANY TREE. BOTH ARE EQUALLY EFFECTIVE.

                                                          STEP 34

 

                CHARITY (SADHAK BHOJAN OR BRAHMIN BHOJAN)

                 SADHAK BHOJAN IS USALLY DONE NOT EVERY DAY OF YOUR SADHANA BUT ON EHT LAST DAY WHEN YOU COMPLETE YOUR SADHANA. THE IDEA IS TO FEED GOD PRESENT IN LIVING ENTITIES. IT IS ALSO A MOMENT OF CELEBRATION TO MARK THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF YOUR INTENSE ROUTINE SPREAD OVER SO MANY DAYS. IN THE OLDEN TIMES, AN ASPIRANT WOULD EITHER BE PART OF A GURUKUL WHERE THERE WOULD BE OTHER ASPIRANTS AND FEEDING THEM WOULD BE ENOUGH. OR, AN ASPIRANT WOULD GATHER A CERTAIN NUMBER OF BRAHMINS. THEY WOULD COME TOGETHER AND WITH BEAUTIFUL VEDIC CHANTS ENERGIZE THE WHOLE ENVIRONMENT. THE ASPIRANT WOULD FEED THEM.

 

                  DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO DO EITHER. SO, YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ELSE, WHICH EQUALLY EFFECTIVE. SIMPLY SET ASIE WHATEVER YOU CAN EVERY DAY, AN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WOULD BUY AT LEAST ONE MEAL FOR A PERSON OR WHATEVER YOU CAN REASONABLY AFFORD. IF YOU ARE REALLY PRESSED FINANCIALLY AND CAN'T SET ASIDE EVEN RS.50 OR A DOLLAR A DAY, THEN SIMPLY SET ASIDE A HANDFUL OF DRY FRUITS EVERY DAY. AT THE END OF YOUR SADHANA, OFFER THEM TO A FELLOW ASPIRANT WHO IS ALSO WALKING THE PATH. IF YOU CAN'T FIND THAT, OFFER IT TO A BRAHMIN WHO SERVES IN A TEMPLE OR CHANTS VEDIC MANTRAS DAILY. IF YOU CAN'T FIND THAT BRAHMIN, THEN OFFER IT TO ANY ORPHANAGE. IF THERE IS NO ORPHANAGE, YOU CAN GIVE IT TO ANY OLD-AGE HOME. IF YOU CAN'T FIND EVEN THAT, FEED IT TO THE BIRDS. IF BY SOME RARE CHANCE, YOU CAN'T DO THAT EITHER, THEN IMMERSE THE OFFERINGS IN A STREAM, RIVER OR THE OCEAN. THE IDEA IS THAT SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOU OR OTHER THAN YOUR OWN FAMILY SHOULD PARTAKE OF YOUR OFFERING SO WHATEVER YOU DID TANGIBLY ALSO HELPS SOMEONE ELSE.

                      

                                                                   STEP 35

                                    SEEK AGAIN (KSHAMA PRARTHANA)

                      REPEAT THE HYMN OF FORGIVENESS AS IN STEP NUMBER 30 FOR THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MISTAKES IN YOUR ACTIONS FROM STEP 31-34.

                                                                   STEP 36

                                  OFFER WATER TO THE SUN (SURYA ARGHYA)

                  STEP OUTSIDE AND OFFER THE WATER TO THE SUN. YOU SHOULD DO THIS BY FACING THE SUN. IF DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS OR THE TIME OF THE DAY YOU CAN'T SEE THE SUN, SIMPLY FACE THE DIRECTIONSTHE SUN RISES IN. CHANTING THE MANTRA OF YOUR DEITY, SIMPLY RAISE THE VESSEL OF WATER ABOVE YOUR HEAD AND POUR IT IN ON THE GROUND.

                                                          👀 STEP 25 👀

   

                       MEDITATE ON YOUR MANTRA (MANTRA DHYANA)

                YOU ARE ONLY ONE STEP AWAY FROM STARTING YOUR MANTRA CHANTING NOW. DHYANA IS MEDITATING ON THE DEITY OF THE MANTRA BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR JAPA. PERSONALLY, I KEEP IT VERY SIMPLE AND MEDITATE UPON HER USING CORE MANTRA. YOU CAN DO THE SAME.

                                                               STEP 27

 

                              POST-JAPA HANLOCKS (UTTARA MUDRA)

              ONCE YOUR JAPA IS COMPLETE, THE MUDRAS POST THE SADHANA ARE SHOW NOW. THERE ARE EIGHT HANDLOCKS (MUDRAS) THAT ARE SHOWN AT THE COMPETION OF YOUR JAPA. RATHER THAN SHOWING THE STANDARD HANDLOCKS AS STATED IN ESSENTIAL STEPS IN THE RITES OF INVOCATION (PURUSHCHARANA).

                                                              STEP 28

                           OFFER YOUR CHANTING (JAPA SAMARPANA)

           WHEN YOUR JAPA IS COMPLETE, IT SHOULD BE OFFERED TO THE DEITY OF THE MANTRA SO ITS VIBRATIONS ARE RELEASED IN THE UNIVERSE AND IT MAY BE USED FOR THE WELFARE OF ALL SENTIENT BEINGS. OFFER YOUR PRAYER IN THE LEFT HAND OF DEVI WITH THE MANTRA BELOW:

                    IN THIS STEP, THANKING THE ENERGIES OF THE DIETY WHO PRESENTED THEMSELVES WHILE YOU PROPITIATED THE DIVINE ENERGY AND CHANTED YOUR MANTRA, WE ALLOW THOSE ENERGIES TO RETURN TO THEIR ABODE. IT CAN BE DONE WITH ANY WORDS YOU SO WISH TO CHOOSE OR YOU CAN CHANT THE SIMPLE MANTRA BELOW:
