The creative mind

THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND VS. THE CREATIVE MIND

In the early 1800's, when students of human behavior first began to realize that the mind was dual in its operation, the mind below the level of consciousness was named the subconscious mind.

It was felt that the conscious mind, with its ability to think, scheme, plan and reason, would naturally be the master mind and that the other one would be subservient to it.

This is far from being the truth.

As you are about to learn, the subconscious mind is the real seat of intelligence and power.

No one ever has had or will have as much intelligence, consciously, as all of us have subconsciously.

The prefix "sub" means under, below, beneath, lower.

For example: a post office substation is never as important as the main office.

Why then, since the subconscious mind is the seat of intelligence and power, call it the subconscious mind? Our thoughts and actions are continually being guided by the subconscious mind, whether or not we are led to success and happiness, or failure and despair.

As soon as we develop a success consciousness, the subconscious mind will direct us - in thought and action - to success and happiness.

This being true, don't you believe with me that the name Creative Mind would be more fitting? I'm sure you do, so from this page onward every time I mention the Creative Mind, I mean that which we formerly referred to as the subconscious mind.
