This world was created out of nothingness. We are told by Biblical accounts that the earth was void and without form and from that, God created all of what we see around us today. It is truly amazing how everything came into existence. We have come a long way in God’s creation and the truth is that we are all endowed with that power with which God created this beautiful world. The greatest inventions did not simply manifest in this world, but were created out of nothingness. Powerful minds were able to tap into that God power within themselves and create something which would benefit the entire world.

It is incumbent upon mankind to grow on creation. The secrets have been there for ages. We call them secrets but the truth is that they are decipherable in our surroundings and in our interactions. Those who have been fortunate to possess the ability to create and project a strong mind power have always determined the fate and destiny of those who do not. The sad fact today is that most people are content to allow others to dictate their destinies, even when it is obviously not favorable to them. Unfortunately, most people choose to ignore these pretty obvious principles and for this simple reason, there are many followers and few leaders. The following are three reasons why you should strive to develop your mind power.

1. To achieve greatness. Greatness is only an outward manifestation of an inward quality. True greatness begins on the inside of every man. Each and every man who has ever achieved something worthwhile in this world has always stated that his success started with a belief in himself and that belief was a result of a carefully built powerful subconscious mind.

2. To maximize your potential. It is always possible to find some people who just appear to have “made it.” But someone who was born into a rich family and does not do what is necessary to develop his mind power has a good chance of losing his wealth. The truth is, wealth itself is a mindset and for those who lack positive mind power, it is difficult to manage it.

3. To advance the cause of mankind. The advancement of mankind should be at the center of any venture. Why embark on a venture if it will ultimately lead to the destruction of people or their personal or collective destinies? The sole aim of developing your mind power should be to cause some positive advancement in the evolution of mankind.

We the People of the world, in order to form a more positive mindset, eliminate negativity, insure inner tranquility, provide for the needs of mankind, promote the general well being of our spirits, and secure financial independence for ourselves and our posterity, do covenant to learn the simple but potent secrets of mind power.

Of all the mind power secrets known to man, belief is by far the most the most powerful of them all. The power of belief is essential to the achievement of your goals, your dreams and your aspirations in life. How can you expect to accomplish anything if you don’t have an internal belief that you are capable of accomplishing the task in question? The power of belief is reflected in the statement by Henry Ford, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”

Napoleon Hill is an American author widely recognized as the founder of personal success literature. One of his most famous quotes, “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve,” sets forth two fundamentals necessary for achievement in any area. The first requirement is the ability to conceive. This is not such a difficult task for most people. If you can dream, if you can use your imagination, you can conceive. Conception is a product of the conscious mind.

The second part of the equation is where people have more difficulty. Belief is deeply rooted in the subconscious mind. The thoughts and principles which help to compose your belief system have been planted and growing in your subconscious mind since infancy. The person whose childhood was filled with supportive, positive and self-empowering beliefs will be miles ahead of the one whose only exposure was to negativity, criticism and ridicule.

You can conceive in your conscious mind that you are strong, independent and prosperous, but if you don’t believe in your subconscious mind that you are capable or worthy of these goals, you will never achieve them. You must believe first in your worthiness to receive, then in your ability to attain.

The Bible also references the importance of belief. In Mark 11:24 Jesus said “whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Belief is fundamental.

So what is belief, really? Belief is simply a thought that is accepted as a truth by your conscious mind and your subconscious mind. Thoughts are processed first on the conscious level. In fact, your conscious mind will act as a filter or layer or protection for your subconscious mind. This is the reason why beliefs can be so difficult to access and change.

Is it possible to dis-empower, strengthen or even change one’s beliefs? Absolutely! This is where mind power secrets come into play. Since beliefs are seated on the subconscious level, you can learn to use mind power secrets to engage the subconscious mind through repetitive affirmations, meditation, hypnosis and various other methods.

The power of belief can be your strongest ally, or you greatest foe. Henry Ford had another powerful quote: “One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.” What do you believe is possible for you?

Belief becomes powerful once your subconscious mind accepts that belief as truth. Saying with your lips and with your conscious mind “I believe I can…” one or two times will not change much. Incorporating that statement into an affirmation that you repeat daily, several times per day, will effect changes in your life.

You may be asking yourself, “what are affirmations and what if anything does it have to do with mind power, or me?” Affirmations are statements which through frequent repetition influence the thinking and beliefs of the subconscious mind. Generally, affirmations are thought of in the context of being positive, but to have a clear understanding of the power of affirmations you must realize that negative affirmations can also exist, and their presence in your subconscious mind can be the source of many problems in your life.

From birth up to the time we are about six years old, our parents are the primary sculptor of our subconscious minds. If your parents constantly criticized, ridiculed and belittled you, then there is a significant chance that you deal with issues of doubt and self-worth in your life. On the other hand if you had parents that were encouraging you and praising your efforts, you likely carry an air of self-confidence and positive beliefs in your everyday life.

It is my hope that you experienced a positive childhood at home, but oftentimes other people can speak negative things into our lives. Teachers, classmates, siblings or other family members and even strangers can plant negative thoughts and images into your psyche. They become lodged there and without intervention of some sort, like a seed that is planted, it takes root and grows in your mind. Each time you attempt to step out and do something new and allow the negative thoughts to hinder you, that negative belief is strengthened and soon becomes your “truth.”

The good news is by learning to use positive affirmations, those negative beliefs can be overwritten thanks to the power of your mind. Just as a re-writable compact disc can be written over with new material leaving the old material no longer accessible, likewise the negative information stored in your subconscious can be written over with new positive information that will serve you well.

Positive affirmations are statements that you repeat to yourself which plant positive ideas and suggestions into your brain. The repetitive process enables the subconscious mind to absorb these statements at its own pace and with time will come to accept these new positive beliefs as truth, replacing the negative self-defeating thoughts that keep you from achieving your goals. This transformation can occur much more quickly than you might think.

Affirmations are powerful tools for change, yet they are often an overlooked resource. Understand that affirmations are even more powerful when you create them for yourself. In this way they are personal to you and your circumstances.

As you learn to incorporate affirmations into your life you will realize that it is more than just word repetition. It will make you aware of your words and your thoughts as you go about your day and soon you will find yourself choosing to think only positive thoughts. You will then be well on the way to unleashing the power of your mind.

Affirmations are simple statements you repeat to yourself to insert positive ideas and suggestions into your mind. It is a form of constructive self talk. Are you using positive affirmations to help you reach your goals?

One of the greatest truths shared by John, the brother and disciple of Jesus Christ, was this: “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.”  If taken at surface value, this simple sentence could mean of course that the enemy who prowls around seeking whom to devour is far less than the Spirit of God that dwells inside the believers.  Again, if we look a little bit beyond that meaning, it is also possible to see that the Spirit of God enables the subconscious mind to draw strength from an unfathomable and irresistible source, one stronger than the challenges which you face.  When you consider this against the array of roadblocks which face you on a daily basis, it becomes easier for you to allow your subconscious mind to grasp this truth and draw strength from within you.

Dr. Stephen Covey,  one of Time magazine’s 25 most influential Americans, made the following statement:  ” We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.”  In the final analysis, it is what we decide that matters the most, irrespective of the external circumstances.  We may have excuses but those will never change what we decide, it will only salve our conscience or serve as a consolation for our frustrations.  The key to getting past the myriad challenges before you is to connect your subconscious mind to the strength inside you of which John spoke and allow it to manifest on your outer circumstances.

Dr.  Covey also had this to say: ” We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.”  Why this reference to spiritual matters when we seem to be addressing issues which are pretty empirical in nature?  I believe Stephen Covey’s statement above answers that question.  We must realize that we are in fact, spiritual beings.  We must deal with these circumstances the way spiritual beings do, by looking beyond and creating the solutions even when and where there does not seem to be any.

When the tax collectors sought to trap Jesus Christ about the issue of tax, he gave them a spiritually inspired answer and when he wanted to make payment, he provided a spiritually inspired solution to the problem.  Where most people miss the point is when they look at themselves as merely human, incapable of doing the impossible.  The subconscious mind with which you are endowed has tremendous powers into which you are meant to tap and when you incorporate subconscious training and understand that inside of you is an unfathomable power which has endless possibilities, you can see that you are in a good position to make things happen.

Why is it that some people struggle to achieve even the simplest of goals, while for others, success seems to just fall into their hands?  It has far less to do with luck or fate, and much to do with learning to tap into your subconscious mind power by training it to work in your favor, enabling you to accomplish all you set out to do.
