what does your mind look like?
You were born with the most sophisticated and complex instrument the planet has known–your marvelous mind.
Very few people have any concept of what the mind actually is like, how to describe it, or how to alter it forever. Sure, everyone says you need to change your mind, but no one tells you what it is, what it looks like and exactly how to change it. We were not born with a manual on how the mind works or how to maximise its use. Without this information, thousands of people wander through the deserted halls of dreams, always hoping, but rarely achieving.
We believe we have discovered the best concept in the world today to describe the mind, how it works, and how to change it. The beauty of this model is that it is not diffcult to understand.
The Stick person concept was developed in the 1930s by Dr. Millionaire Fleet, the founder of Concept Therapy. He came up with the idea that we have three levels of existence:
**the Conscious Mind (Part 1),
**the Subconscious mind (Part 2), and
**the Body (Part 3).
As we tend to think in pictures, Fleet invented a picture of the mind.
Part 1-The Conscious Mind Mindset
This is the part of you that thinks.
You have the ability to choose which thoughts you will entertain. This is the place where ideas are formulated. You bring information into this part of your mind, through your five senses.
Your freewill resides here. Pain, pleasure,and limitation originate in theconscious mind. This part of your mind serves as a filter for what you will allow to be impressed into your subconscious mind.
The conscious mind is made up of six mental muscles. Some people call these your higher faculties. It really doesn’t matter what you call them. What’s good to remember is that they are part of you, and you can develop each one to create more awareness in your life and improve your results.;
Perception
You can develop your ability to view your world differently. You can decide how circumstances will affect your life. You can develop better ways to perceive your reality.
imagination
There is a power flowing into you that can allow you to create big ideas. The power of your imagination is more powerful than all the nuclear power present in the world today. The ability to dream is probably one of the most under-used tools we have at our disposal. If you are like most people, this muscle was squashed when you were a kid.
willpower
This is the muscle that allows you to concentrate. Most people are easily taken off course because they have never developed this muscle. You have the power to mentally focus on your goals and never be taken off track because of your current circumstances, environment, or situation.
intuition
This is often referred to as your sixth sense. This is an actual mental faculty. You
have the ability to pick up information through your intuition in a way that is unexplainable by modern science. Oddly, women seem to have a more highly developed sense of intuition than men, but men do have it.
Memory
You have a perfect memory. You never forget anything. You may need training as to how to retrieve it through your conscious mind, but it is perfect.
reason
You can think. You have the ability to accept or reject any thought;reason is what you use to decide.Many people choose to never use, let alone develop this mental muscle.
It’s a pity they don’t. The world would be different if they did.
Imagine you come home one afternoon and find your front lawn littered with garbage. If you are like most of us, chances are you would probably be upset; but you would clean it up. During the clean-up you might wonder who on earth would want to do such a disgusting thing.
Then imagine that the following afternoon you come home and fnd your front lawn is again littered with another truckload of garbage. You’d probably be twice as angry as you were the evening before, but you would probably clean it up again, and again be wondering, “Why would anyone want to do something like this?”
Now imagine a third afternoon, you come home and the front lawn is again littered with garbage.
This time you decide that you have had enough. You vow to put a stop to such destruction and aggravation. You would probably take whatever measures were necessary to stop the insanity.
Now, think of all the garbage that is littered on the greatest front lawn in the world – your mind. Most people allow garbage to be dumped into their minds and refuse to do anything about it. The garbage we are talking about is negative thinking.
If we are not careful, it’s easy to allow others to pollute our minds.
You have to guard the front lawn of your mind. The tool to use is called reason. You can use your reason to accept or reject any ideas. You must not allow yourself to suffer from “stinkin’ thinkin’.” Be sure your guard is always on duty. You are responsible to ensure he does his job.
"You become what you consciously think about. "Earl Nightingale
