What role does your subconscious play in success

The subconscious is also a willing slave; it gives you exactly what you are expecting, whether you realize it on the conscious level or not. For example, you can SAY that you're feeling confident or going to be successful. But if you have any negative feelings , such as doubts, as you are saying that deep down inside, you will likely get negative results. Things like deep-seated "I'm not really sure that I can do this" will ruin positive vibes.

In other words, you attract the negative as well as the positive.

Firstly, thanks to the OP for starting a great topic.

Secondly, thanks for this post rcritchett, as there's some great stuff in it. Perhaps you'd care to share some of your "personally created incredible experiences as a result of constant and consistent conscious thought towards something goal related" with the Forum? I'm sure more than a few of us would like to hear them. Maybe you could start your own thread?

Finally I'd like to draw attention to this particular quote from you
"I believe the subconscious mind (even though it doesn't actually exist physically) is an incredibly powerful thing"

I agree with this statement completely yet it's the "(even though it doesn't actually exist physically)" part of it that I'd like to specifically address. Historically, right up into the present, the vast majority of humanity has been focused almost entirely on the 'Physical'. It was not even until the past century or so that the study and 'proof' of non-physical things really began.

I think to say something as you have above, that the subconscious mind is powerful even though is doesn't exist physically, is to greatly detract from the reality of the situation. I mean no offense in any way by this first of all and let me please explain where I am going with it. For many decades now humanity has known and come to accept, and even harness or utalize in some way many things which "don't actually exist physically". For example radio waves, micowaves, radiation, magnetic fields etc. Further, science has relatively recently began to truly understand that Everything is energy, moving in various wave forms and frequencies and that the 'Physical' as we generally now and understand it, does not even really exist.

We generally tend to think of something being Real, being Physical when it is something that we can see and touch and feel, something made of Solid Matter. Yet we now know that that solid matter as we had previously understood it is an illusion and is really just a conglomeration of slow moving molecules and energy. So, truly, Nothing physically exists (or Everything does, depending on how you look at it. )

So my main points are that, the Subconscious mind Does Exist just as much as if not more than other things we can Physically interact with. And Further, by continuing to use language in such a way that 'discredits' anything that is not 'Physically Real', like say the mind and it's great abilities, we are all doing ourselves a disservice. And Language, what we say, could not be more important. For Words are the Physical manifestation of Thought, powered by the Energy of Emotion.

Feeling (Emotion)+ Idea (Thought)= Manifestation (Word...as it was in the Beginning...remember? )

Anyway, just wanted to share that.

Cheers to another great Thread all!

Our sub-conscious mind is an immensely powerful source and could become an eminent part of our lives if we nurture it in proper way. It is what we go through everyday and the way we live our lives has a good impact on it. Keep ourselves motivated would also act as the food for it and this is something that controls the "go get it" mentality in us.
