The average human mind has powers far greater than those most of us imagine. That’s because it extends beyond our physical boundaries into the energy field that surrounds us, connecting with other minds and linking with the Intelligence that regulates the universe.
Among the amazing capabilities of the mind that have been verified scientifically are its ability to seemingly pluck ideas out of the air, ‘know’ something without any concrete evidence, solve complicated problems without any specialist training, including in our sleep, send and receive messages from others (both in bodily form and in spirit), and recall events and circumstances apparently from past lives. All these are functions of the Superconscious Mind.
Taking the Internet as an analogy, the conscious mind is the operator of a PC, the subconscious the library of files stored on the computer, and the Superconscious the service provider. You are connected through cyberspace to a limitless source of knowledge and inspiration unrestricted by the five senses. It includes everything that existed in the past, exists in the present and will exist in the future.
Superconscious inspiration and insight have been available to you since the day you were born. If you’ve never been aware of them, it’s either because you don’t recognise them or you’re not properly tuned in. Listen carefully. Every moment, Creative Intelligence offers you spiritual guidance that you would be unwise to ignore.
242 The Superconscious Challenges Scientific Analysis
Superconscious insight is often dismissed as bogus by neuroscientists because it cannot be explained by the workings of the brain alone. However, the evidence is overwhelming. The psychic Uri Geller is only one of many to be investigated under rigorous conditions and has repeatedly proved his ability to communicate telepathically and project energy over huge distances. Nevertheless because the investigators have found no
material explanation, he is frequently portrayed, unfairly, as a trickster.
243 Superconscious Abilities
We are a long way from understanding all the powers of the Superconscious, but we do know that they include the following:
- an ability to ‘know’ and to ‘connect’ that does not rely on knowledge and past learning;
- intuitive insight and decision-making;
- heightened creativity and inspiration;
- the ability to stand back and observe, reflect and detach from our thoughts and emotions;
- telepathy – the ability to communicate unaided at a distance;
- synchronicity – the ability to perceive, interpret and be guided by linked events and coincidences.
244 How Do You Make Use Of Your Superconscious?
Write down everything you experience beyond the five senses – hunches, ideas, mental images, feelings, dreams and so on. For instance:
- Do you instinctively know when something is going to work or not?
- Have you ever felt an overwhelming urge to do something without being able to justify it logically? Did you follow it? What happened?
- Have you ever backed away from a course of action that seemed logical at the time, only to discover later that it would have spelled disaster? What happened? How did you feel?
- Do you ever wake up with a good idea, or the answer to a problem that has been bothering you? Give an example.
- Have you ever had a ‘psychic’ experience? What happened?
- Do you ever feel that life is trying to steer you? In what way?
Our Superconscious abilities are a natural part of us. The more we use them, the more reliable they become.
245 Imagination
A good imagination is not just the preserve of children and artists, it is available to everyone. Imagination is defined as the faculty by which we
formulate ideas about things that are not present or have not been directly experienced. It is how we innovate: everything ever created first had to be imagined.
Imagination involves all five senses. We imagine by means of pictures, sounds, touch, taste and smell, or a combination. The more vivid and lasting these thought-images and sense-impressions, the more powerful they are.
Imagination can be a friend or foe. It can begin the process by which our highest good becomes reality, or it can lead us into the opposite. When we use our imagination wisely, it is a vehicle for positive change. Contemplate yourself surrounded by the conditions you wish to create in your life. Do it often. There are always better things ahead for those who focus their minds on a bright future.
