Feeling is the Secret, Deluxe Edition

Imagine a world where every experience you have, every circumstance you encounter, is not random or accidental but a direct reflection of your inner feeling states. This is the profound insight that opens our journey into the secret of creation — the power of feeling. Feeling is the one and only medium through which ideas are conveyed to the subconscious. Here, consciousness is not a vague concept but a living, breathing force divided into two distinct yet intimately connected parts: the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious mind is like a gardener selecting seeds — it chooses the ideas, the desires, the images that it wants to bring forth. It is personal, selective, and can be seen as the male aspect of consciousness. The subconscious, by contrast, is the fertile soil, the receptive female aspect that accepts whatever seeds are planted and nurtures them into full bloom.

What makes this process magical and mysterious is the role of feeling. The subconscious mind does not evaluate ideas based on logic or reason; it accepts as true whatever feeling the conscious mind impresses upon it. Without feeling, ideas remain unmanifested, floating in the realm of possibility but never becoming reality. This means that your emotional state is the language your subconscious understands. If you feel fear, doubt, or limitation, these feelings become the blueprint for your outer world. Conversely, if you feel confident, joyful, and fulfilled, your subconscious begins to weave these states into your life’s fabric.

Consider the example of health: simply saying 'I will be healthy' is weaker than the powerful feeling 'I am healthy.' The subconscious responds not to words alone but to the emotional conviction behind them. This subtle but critical distinction reveals why many attempts at manifestation falter — the feeling does not match the desire. What you feel you are always dominates what you feel you would like to be.

This understanding invites a radical shift in how we approach life. Instead of reacting to external events as if they are fixed and immutable, we recognize that our feelings are the architects of our reality. Every mood, every emotional impulse, leaves an impression on the subconscious, shaping the conditions we experience. Thus, mastery over feeling is mastery over life itself.

To illustrate, imagine a person who habitually feels anxious about money. Their subconscious, accepting this feeling as truth, manifests circumstances that reflect scarcity and worry. However, if this person consciously cultivates the feeling of abundance and security, even before external evidence appears, the subconscious begins to realign reality accordingly. This is not wishful thinking but a law of consciousness — a law as immutable as gravity.

In this way, the secret to transforming your life lies not in external actions alone but in the internal discipline of feeling. Control of your feeling is all important to a full and happy life. This does not mean suppressing emotions but consciously choosing to dwell in feelings that uplift and empower. The subconscious mind, like a devoted spouse, responds to persuasion rather than command, expressing faithfully whatever it receives.

As we close this opening chapter of our exploration, let us carry forward the awareness that our feelings are sacred messengers. They are the seeds we plant in the fertile subconscious, destined to grow into the reality we live. With this foundation, we are ready to discover how the gateway of sleep offers a powerful avenue to impress these feelings deeply and effectively, setting the stage for manifestation beyond waking effort.

Let us now journey into the realm of sleep, where the conscious and subconscious unite in a dance of creation.
