Feeling is the Secret

Product Information

Nothing stops you from realizing your objective save your failure to feel that you are already that which you wish to be, or that you are already in possession of the thing sought. Your subconscious gives form to your desires only when you feel your wish fulfilled. Jesus found it not strange to do the works of God, because He believed Himself to be God. ‘I and My Father are one’ [John 10:30].” What more beautiful description of this romance of the conscious and subconscious is there than that told in the "Song of Solomon": So, by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your objective, the subconscious is moved to build the exact likeness of your assumption.

Every night as you drop off to sleep, feel satisfied and spotless, for your subjective lover always forms the objective world in the image and likeness of your conception of it — the conception defined by your feeling. Turn from appearances and assume the feeling that would be yours were you already the one you wish to be. Prayer is an illusion of sleep which diminishes the impression of the outer world and renders the mind more receptive to suggestion from within. The mind in prayer is in a state of relaxation and receptivity akin to the feeling attained just before dropping off to sleep. When the senses confirm the absence of your wish, all conscious effort to counteract this suggestion is futile and tends to intensify the suggestion.What you feel you are always dominates what you feel you would like to be; therefore to be realized, the wish must be felt as a state that is rather than a state that is not The only thing that bars you from realizing your desire is the failure to feel the state of your desire realized. Before you fall asleep, ask yourself: how would I feel if my desire was real? Then feel that state right into the moment you fall asleep. You must feel the state such that it is real NOW. Always feel satisfied & accomplished before falling asleep; never fall asleep feeling dissatisfied or defeated. However, free will is limited only to the freedom to choose. So you have the freedom to choose your feelings. How they find expression is the secret of the subconscious.

SLEEP, the life that occupies one-third of our stay on earth, is the natural door into the subconscious. Realization of your wish is accomplished by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. You cannot fail unless you fail to convince yourself of the reality of your wish. A change of belief is confirmed by a change of expression. That which you feel yourself to be, you are; and you are given that which you are. So assume the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your wish, and your wish must be realized. If you are discouraged, dissatisfied, or feel like a failure: change this state of consciousness before falling asleep. The book was already published in 1944 but has lost none of its relevance. It explains concisely and elegantly how our world works and how we can make use of it in only four short chapters.Nothing stops you from realizing your objective save your failure to feel that you are already that which you wish to be, or that you are already in possession of the thing sought.” It is essential to concentrate only on the desired state. If we only think of obstacles and difficulties, we ask the subconscious in its non-selective way to create them. The dominant of two feelings is the one expressed. ‘I am healthy’ is a stronger feeling than ‘I will be healthy’. To feel ‘I will be’ is to confess ‘I am not’; ‘I am’ is stronger than ‘I am not’.

However, as a witness to this end — no matter how unspectacular the sequence of events is — you remain calm and secure in the knowledge that the end has been perfectly defined. Chapter 4 — Faith means feeling This is the way to discover and conduct your wishes into the subconscious. Feel yourself in the state of the realized wish and quietly drop off to sleep. To be conscious of being poor while praying for riches is to be rewarded with that which you are conscious of being, namely, poverty. Prayers to be successful must be claimed and appropriated.

It is our task to accept the feelings we would have if our wishes were fulfilled and then believe that the subconscious creates them.Whatever you have in consciousness as you go to sleep is the measure of your expression in the waking two-thirds of your life on earth. Denying the evidence of the senses and appropriating the feeling of the wish fulfilled is the way to the realization of your desire. Consciousness is really one and undivided but for creation's sake it appears to be divided into two.” Let’s take the popularly quoted passage Mark 9:2
