You will in time impress your
subconscious mind with all that it needs in order to match your desires with
your reality . Your Conscious and Subconscious Mind
Your conscious mind is private and it is always personal. It is the aspect of
you that makes decisions, chooses this or that, and remains aware of whatyou do and how your decisions impact your volitional activities. As a young boy I learned how to ice-skate by becoming conscious of every
step along the way to be able to move and balance myself on a blade less
than a centimeter across while on a surface of slick ice. My conscious mind
kept correcting me, telling me to hold my arms out for balance, bend my
knees in a certain way, turn the blades on my feet to the side to come to a
halt, and so on. After spending time using my conscious mind to inform and
direct my body to keep from falling, I became an accompli shed hockey
player and practically lived on the ice throughout my teenage years. That
was my conscious mind at work. Now fast-forward 40 years, and I’m staying at a home with a frozen-solid
pond in the back acre during a cold winter in Massachusetts. I purchase a
pair of ice skates, lace them up, and even though it has been  almost four
decades since I’ve been on the ice, off I go, skating as if I’d been doing so
every day. All of the moves were there—I skated backward in circles and
had the time of my life. The body I occupied didn’ t have one single cell
remaining from the time when my conscious mind  taught my subconscious
mind  how to skate  all those decades earlier . In this example, my
subconscious mind took over and allowed me to have an exhilarating day on
the ice! I’m sure you can recall times when your conscious mind generated ideas
and impressed those ideas on your subconscious mind. This is how you
learned to drive a car, do yoga exercises, cook a soufflé, and everything else
that requires a multitude of complex maneuvers to do without the aid of your
conscious mind. Your mind receives these ideas and ultimately gives form
and expression to them. You have thoughts about trying something and then
proceed to consciously practice, and you may not even realize that you are
implanting the know-how in your subconscious mind. Your conscious mind
is responsible for only 4 or 5 percent of all of your actions, including what
you manifest. Your subconscious mind—on autopilot once it has been imprinted by your
conscious mind with its thoughts and ideas—runs the show that is called
Your Life. It accounts for some 96 percent or more of everything you do and
everything you attract into your life. However , all things, includ ing what you
desire to manifest for yourself, evolve out of your thinking/conscious mind,
and must then be impressed upon your subconscious mind. This is the cycle,and without this precise sequencing nothing will be made. Your feelings are
deeply involved in this sequence. The Role of Y our Feelings in Fulfilling Y our W ishes
Here’ s an observ ation from Neville regarding the importance of assuming
the feeling  of the wish fulfilled:
Ideas are impressed on the subconscious through the medium of feeling. No idea can be
impressed on the subconscious mind until it is felt, but once felt—be it good, bad or indifferent
—it must be expressed. Feeling is the one and only medium through which ideas are conveyed
to the subconscious.22
Your subconscious impressions are reflected in the conditions of your
world. The strange and wonderful thing about your subconscious mind is
that it always accepts as true what you feel to be true. The key words here
are feel to be true. Your feelings allow your subconscious mind to spring
into action. Earlier in this chap ter I described intellectual understanding as
tossing ideas around in your mind and drawing conclusions. Spiritual
understanding differs in that it requires experiencing  it. The way to
understand something spiritual ly is through experiencing it. Your feelings
are the tools you have for exper iencing your subconscious mind and making
it your material world reality . Your feelings happen in your body, where you live and breathe . How you
feel is your experience of life. These feelings flow from the thoughts you
place in your imagination, and you are free to select any thought you desire. As I’ve reiterated throughout this book, when these thoughts are aligned
with how your Source of being thinks, your feelings emanate as God-
realized experiences within your body . The utmost feeling that defines God, and your own highest self, is the
feeling of love. “God is love, and he who abides in love abides  in God, and
God in him.” Because your feelings, especially the feeling of love, are
impressed on your subconscious mind, which is responsible for virtually
everything that you do, experience, and manifest in your life—your mission
is to get to that place of assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, even if the
wish has yet to materialize in your physical reality . Assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled involves this fundamental
awareness of how the subconscious mind works. Your subconscious mind isnot personal; it is an expression of the one universal subconscious mind that
we all use. This is a gnarly concept because your ego, where you spend the
vast majority of your time, is so personal that you cannot grasp that we all
share the same, the only, subconscious mind. As Neville states, “The
subconscious is not selective; it is impersonal and no respecter of
persons.”23 You want to keep tabs on what feelings you are associating with
the wish es you have placed in your imagination, because whate ver they are,
you will see the universe aligning with them to provide experiences that
match up with what you have impressed upon this universal subconscious
mind. Think thoughts like, I am well, I am strong, I am prosper ous, and I am
employed;  place them into your imagination, and then assume the feeling of
that wish fulfilled. If you can experience the feeling  of love, joy,
exhilaration, peace, and happiness in your body—even when your sensations
are contradictor y—your subconscious records the feelings. Neville  is clear
about this: “To impress the subconscious with the desirable state you must
assume the feeling that would be yours had you already realized your
wish.”24
Feeling  any state you wish to achieve is the experience that impresses it on
the subconscious. Once again  turning to Neville, he tells us, “The
subconscious is the womb of creation. It receives the idea unto itself through
the feelings of man. It never changes the idea received, but always gives it
form.”25 Always gives it form —meaning that you must begin  programming
your subconscious mind, which  will take over much like mine did when I
laced up those ice skates without any prodding from my thinking or
conscious mind in spite of a 40-year interval. The subconscious mind accepts as true what you feel is true. Your feelings
determine your reality because they’re impressed on the subconscious. Consciously feeling hopeless, and entertaining this idea in your imagination
with even more imaginative feelings of hopelessness, will impress on the
subconscious mind the idea of failure. Consequently , you will be offered
experiences by the one universal subconscious mind that will match what
you’ve felt is true. Remember , the subconscious mind is impersonal and
nonselective. It cannot make a distinction between what you feel as a resultof your daily life experiences and what you feel as a result of what you have
placed into your imagination as a future desire. If you put the seed of failure into the subconscious and feed it with feeling
that way, it will reproduce failure. If you plant the seed of disea se into your
subconscious mind by feeling this way in your body , it will augment disease
for you. If you plant the seed of misery into your subconscio us mind by
feeling miserabl e, it will cultivate and produce misery for you. This is why it
is so all-out crucial to begin feeling  in your body what you would like to
manifest into your life. You can get to the point where the magnetic-like
power in your own field of energy is so joyfully loving that you can have a
mere flash of imagining and feeling something powerful and good, and with
almost no passage of three-dimensional time it will appear in your life! Whatever you wish to manife st, associate a feeling of love with it and
impress that feeling on the universal subconscious mind—and it will do the
rest. I am doing this as I contemplate the completion of this book in my
imagination at this moment as I’m writing. I bathe this thought  in pure love
and feel the happiness that these words will bring to millions of people. I
feel that loving sense of accomplishment in my entire being, inner and outer . The feeling I’m impressing on the subconscious mind is pure ecstatic love. God is love, and with God, all things are possible. I know the universal mind
must act upon what has been impressed upon it. And I am patient , and I am
content . If you seek on the outside that which you are unwilling or unabl e to feel on
the inside, you are seeking in vain. You attain that which you are—not
simply what you want. Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled  and because
you are experien cing it, that is what will manifest for you. The subconscious
mind creates exactly what you believe in and can feel in your body . Choosing to Feel Good
It is reported that Swami Muktananda asked each visitor entering his
ashram if he knew the difference between feeling good and feeling God. If
the devotee shook his head indicating he did not know , Muktananda would
form a circle with his forefinger and thumb indicating zero—meaning there
is zero differen ce between the two—God and good are one. “In thebeginning God created the heave ns and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). Thirty lines
later, it is written  in the Torah, “Then God saw everything that He had made,
and indeed it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). God and all that He created is
good. When you choose to feel good, you are choosing to feel what I
described earlier as your highest self— the onen ess that is called both good
and God. Comm it to making this your reality by repeating your intention to
feel God-realize d. Say to yourself, I intend to feel good  or, as a synonym for
God, I intend to feel love. Don’ t dwell on your troubles, difficulties, or illnesses. The subconscious
mind by its very nonselective nature accepts all your feelings associated with
troubles as your request—and worst of all, proceeds to make them your
experience in the world of your material reality . On the other hand, feeling
love associated with what you have placed in your imagination triggers the
subconscious mind to produce experiences that reflect its own Divine nature. Feel the feeling of love in your body directed at what you place in your
imagination as an idea, and then you activate the subconscious mind. The moment it receives a feelin g impression, it takes action on working
out the ways of its expression. I have been doing precisely this since I had a
diagnosis of leukemia some two years ago. I place into my imagination an I
am that says I am strong; I am perfect health. This is my imagination, and I
can place any conscious thoughts in there that I choose, regardless of what
my five senses might be saying to me. I live from this awareness of I am
strong; I am perfect health. I talk to my body and remind it that I refuse to
dwell on any I am weak; I am sick  images. The most important thing I do is choosing to feel good regardless of what
the numbers on any medical screen might say. I meditate on I am strong; I
am perfect health; and I infus e my entire being, inner and outer , with a
feeling of love and gratitude for this moment, this day, this body that has
housed my invisible soul for these 71-plus years, and I assume the feeling of
the wish fulfilled. I have no thoughts of impending doom, only feelings of
love for this miracle that I am. I treat my leukemia diagnosi s as healing
information being given to me rather than as a disease. Can you imagine that God would build us in such a way that our cells
would actually go to war with one another? War isn’t even a concept that
God is capable of implementing; war is a human concept—one that man has
applied to his theories of how our body functions. What if all of thesedisease-model war theories are just as wrong in regard to our physical body
as they are in resolving confli cts between people? What if what we call
“illness” or “disease” is not that at all? What if we stopped looking at our
health through scientific/medical theories and really looked at what our body
is doing, and how it heals itself? There are biological laws that your body abides by, and often what is
labeled “disease ” is actually your body’ s natural healing reflex. Perhaps it is
a false belief that feeling unwell or having an abnormal blood count means
you must fix it as quickly as possible. Must you search out a pill to fix
everything? If you cut yourself , your body knows what to do—it forms a
scab on its own. The presence of a scab doesn’ t indicate that your body is
out of balance and requires medical intervention. There’ s swelling,
inflammation—and yes, some pain—but that isn’t disease unles s it becomes
excessive. This way of recogniz ing your body’ s healing intelligence instead
of treati ng it as a disease is equally true for psychological and emotional
incidents. Unexpected psychological events—such as the breakup of a marriage, a
financial crisis, or the death of a loved one—create reactions in the brain that
trigger physical responses in the body that are designed to assist the body in
dealing with the conflict. The body continues to assist until the conflict is
resolved, and then it goes into a healing phase to get back to its natural state
of well- being. During this healing phase the body may utilize swelling,
inflammation, fatigue, and an elevated white-blood-cell count as part of the
healing process. Leukemia, for instance, can actually be the healing phase of a severe
psychological series of traumati zing events. This healing phase for leukemia
first involves the expansion of blood vessels, lymph vessels, and a rise in
leukocytes or leucoplasts; eventually , as the brain receives the healing
message, blood cells of a good quality are produced, platelet counts return to
normal, and energy levels rise. As I view it, my job is to heal any and all
relationship conflicts and to feel completely valued, while eliminating and
resolving any long-held conflicts and beliefs about myself. In other words, to
feel good—that is, to feel God—and to offer unconditional love to everyone,
including those who may have played a major part in any and all conflict
dramas that once defined my life.This is how I deal with a diagnosis of leukemia. I choose to feel good
(God), to trust my body to use its inherent wisdom for healing, and to treat
the diagnostic numbers in medical lab reports as what I’m supposed to be
experiencing. I go by how I feel, and the truth is, I am well, I am strong, and yes, I am
God. I treat my body well, eat healthful and high-protein foods, rest,
exercise, do yoga, and know that everything is in Divine hands and in Divine
order . I view illness not as a failure on my part, but as the wond erful healing
that it truly is, and I don’ t need pills, radiation, or invasive procedures. The fact is that I feel good, and I am resolving any and all conflicts with
massive doses of love (God is love, remember). This is what  I choose to
imprint on my subconscious mind, and the subconscious mind accepts as
true that which I feel is true. Creation is the result of subconscious
impressions, and by my feelings, I determine creation. Impacting Y our Subconscious Mind
As I close this section on the necessity of assuming the feeling of the wish
fulfilled to facilitate your having an active role in manifesti ng a wishes
fulfilled life, I offer you three reminders for how the subconscious mind
works in collaboration with your feelings as a crucial component of this
magnificent and mystifying process:
1. The subconscious mind responds to suggestions. You can reprog ram
your subconscious mind so that it goes on its accustomed role of autopilot
with mental and feeling images from yourself. Talk to this automatically
receptive component of yoursel f, telling it that you are unlimited, and that
you believe all things are possib le. Fill it with images of you being all that
you dare to become. Go to a quiet place and feel in your body what it would
feel like were those thoughts in your imagination your present reality . 2. The subcons cious mind possesses the power to manifest physical
reality from thought. Every object and circumstance in this world is
representative of a mental thought. All that now exists was once imagined—
such is the power of the subconscious mind. But in order to partake of this
incredible powe rhouse of creation that you are, you must be able and willing
to experience within yourself— in your mind—that which you wish tomanifest. Thoug hts become things when you feel them, and are able to
impress them upon the subconscious mind, which will then take over . Here is how Neville describes this phenomenon: “This substance is
consciousness. It is your imagination which forms this substance into
concepts, which concepts are then manifested as circumstances, and physical
objects. Thus imagination made your world. ”26 And then his take on the
importance of feelings in programming the subconscious mind: “The reality
of your assumption has its being  in complete independence of objective fact
and will clothe itself in flesh if you persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. When you know that assumptions, if persisted in, harden into facts, then
events which seem to the uninitiated mere accidents will be understood by
you to be the logical and inevitable effects  of your assumption.”27
3. Love  is the feeling you must learn to assume. Subconscious mind is
really a piece of the one mind, and you and I are living in that mind. This
universal subcon scious mind is the first cause, and the stuff from which all
things are made. This thingless  thing is really love. When you feel it, truly
feel it within as your private inner awareness regarding what you would like
to manifest, you gain the power of creation. Recall what Saint Francis of
Assisi said in one line of his famous prayer: “Lord, make me an instrument
of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.” You are asking in this
prayer to have the feeling of the wish fulfilled. When you experience anger , frustration, fear, doubt, worry , stress, and so
on, ramp up your love and immerse those negative feelings in a container of
pure love. Simply choose  to feel good because every moment of offering
love brings your little sliver of subconscious mind into harmony with the all-
creating one universal subconscious mind that is defined as love. I trust I’ve awakened within you the awareness that your feelings play a
huge role in your becoming a God-realized manifesting being. Neville states
this very clearly: “Denying the evidence of the senses and appropriating the
feeling of the wish fulfilled is the way to the realization of your desire.”28
Apply his wisdom beginning now—it will serve you in ways that you may
never have imagined in common hours. And remember that picturing thefuture without assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled is nothing but futile
daydreaming. Three Suggestions
— Practice feeling a thought that you have inserted into your imagination. Remember that a feeling is what you feel in your body as you contemplate
what it is you wish to manifest or who you would like to become. Close your
eyes and experience what that feels like in your body . Work with sensations
that are not only your experience of what you are imagining in your body but
are triggers that assist you in moving from a thought to a hardened physical
reality . — Wha tever feeling you are attempting to notice in your body regarding
your wishes or desire, bathe it in love—the synonym for God. Imagine what
you want. Imagine and feel that love as if you were now in possession of it. Continue doing this using love, until your desire actually belongs to you. During this process remind yourself that the more love (God) you offer, the
sooner desire becomes reality . Look into your mirror fearlessly , saying, I not
only love you—I am love. — Acquaint yourself with the subconscious mind. Your piece of
subconscious mind acts on what you program into it so that it becomes your
automatic mind acting habitually . Decide on a habit that you would like to be
automatic—being generous, for example. Tell yourself, I am a gener ous
person. Give somethin g away in a spirit of generosity , even if it’s only a
small coin or a word of encouragement. The more thoughts and actions you practice around your new I am, the
more the subconscious mind will react in kind until eventually it will act in
generous ways out of a new habit that you’ve created. You have the power to
impress upon the subconscious mind any I am of your choosing. Photos on this page: Rosanna Sardella, www .emer geforhealing.com

THE FOUR TH WISHES  FULFILLED  FOUNDA TION :
YOUR  ATTENTION  PLEASE
“Your imagination is able to do all that you ask in pr oportion to the degr ee
of your attention.”29
— N EVILLE
As you work at mastering this art of manifestation, you are going to
receive a great deal of information, advice, and probably pressure
concerning the ideas and objectives you have placed into your imagination. As you successf ully ramp up your awareness of your imaginatio n, you will
begin to make this private inner world a more active component of your
everyday living. Trusting that what you are thinking is more than just a
mental exercise, you will begin living from this new place within you. This
inner invisible world of yours will be the source of your new reality . Through determ ination and unabated intention, you can begin the process
of assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, imagining it, living from it in
your mind, and feeling it in your body . If you are unwilling to place your
attention on a salubrious applic ation of all of these new elements, all of
your ef forts will assuredly be in vain. The key word here is attention. When you decide and begin to use the information presented here to live a
wishes fulfilled life, you are going to encounter a great deal of notice in a
variety of forms. Friends and associates will offer uninvited opinions
concerning this new you and what you’re attempting to manifest. Your
immediate family may try to dissuade you from making any changes that
they think might cause them to feel inadequate or uncomfortabl e. You’ll be
presented with scientifically verifiable  facts to deter you from believing in
your unlimited self. Strangers will relate stories about someone who died
attempting to do what you are thinking about. Stories of the absurdity of
your desires being manifested will be sent to you in the hope that you willrealize that you are not a Divine being. You might be threatened with
punishment from  God, or Jesus,  or the devil, or some spiritual deity who’ s
angered and going to put a curse on you for of fending their sensibilities. As you engage in the process of living from your highest self, trusting in
your own God-realized strengths and becoming more peaceful and content,
all the while feeling the love you are choosing to align with—your new
ideas about who you are and what you can accomplish and become will be
noticed positive ly and negatively . You may have to convince yourself to be
steadfast in the attention that you place on the wishes you are going to
fulfill. Never let your attentiv eness to what you are in the process of
manifesting be sidetracked by external pressures of any kind. As Neville
reminds you, “All progress, all fulfillment of desire, depend upon the
control and concentration of your attention.”30
One of the things I love about my new iPad that was given to me by my
children is the feature that is called T RASH . What a concept! I’d like you to
implement this technology in all areas of your life. When you receive
information or a request that runs counter to the I ams  that you have placed
in your imagina tion, simply push that TRASH  button in your mind, and
watch it sail over to the left side of your “screen” … and then mentally
touch the Delete button. This is how you keep your attention focused on
what you are manifesting into your life. You are in the flow of a new consciousness that has no limitations. You
are think ing, feeling, and acting as a Divine being, a part of the universal
one mind that knows that all thing s are possible. Yet you live in a world
where this stance is often consid ered insane and outright preposterous. You
have to choose what kind of attention you give to the feedba ck you will
receive. Essentia lly, there are two modes of attention that you can choose
from—objective and subjective. Objective attention is the most common—
abandon it in favor of subjective attention. Objective and Subjective Attention: It’ s Always Y our Choice
You employ objective attention  when you monitor external input such as
information and attitudes that originate outside of you. This is an important
aspect of functio ning in your life. However , you need to consciously bring
into your awaren ess your ability to select and switch between objective andsubjective attention. With aware ness and practice you will discover that by
employing subjective attention first, you almost magically are released from
an addiction to external impressions. It is your choice—and the rewards are
exponential! Do not give attention to what others do or fail to do; give
attention to what you do or fail to do , is sage advice. Whatever wish you have placed into your imagination will engender
stimulus respon ses. Those responses that come to you from the external
world, while often valuable as feedback, are things that you are going to
work at ignoring  if they in any way represent an obstacle to the fulfillment
of your dream. Here is what Neville has to say concerning these two
disparate approa ches to how you should place your own attention: “There is
an enormous difference between attention directed objectively and attention
directed subjectively , and the capacity  to change your futur e depends on the
latter .”31 Becoming a wishes fulfilled person involves learning to
strategically employ your subjective attention. Whatever you are placing in your imagination and feeling is present will
become a part of your daily life, suddenly appearing in many of your
conversations and activities. Television, movies, Internet tidbits, and news
reports on the same subject will make their way to your consciousness. Contradictory information may appear out of nowhere. There will be
friends and strangers who want to express their opinions and share their
stories about someone who attempted to do what you are working on. This
is when having learned to differentiate between subjective or objective
attention and practicing choosin g one or both becomes critically important
to your success. Start with subjective attention . Put your subject ive attention on the I am that you have firmly planted in
your imaginatio n, and refuse to allow any external data to interfere with
directing your loving attention on the subjective I am. Attend first to the
feeling within you by giving it your wholehearted attention rather than
reacting toward  the external person or influence. Redirect your attention
with trust, love, and kindness  from outside to inside. This is called
subjective attent ion. This is the way that you operate whenever the subject
matter of the future you and all that you are manifesting arises in your field
of awareness.The objectified opinions and information that enter your field of
awareness are excellent reminders to redirect your attention to love for, and
belief in, your ability to mani fest wishes fulfilled. Once again, Neville
reminds you that “When you are able to control the movements of your
attention in the subjective world, you can modify or alter your life as you
please. But this control cannot be achieved if you allow your attention to be
attracted constantly from without.”32
If you have read my books and listened to my lectures over the years, you
have heard me cite Carlos Castaneda’ s work on many occasions. He was a
great teacher for me, often tellin g powerful stories about the exalted world
of impeccability , where one transcends ordinary levels of awareness. I’ve
become friendly with his wife, who recently celebrated her 90th birthday . She told me she’d written a four-line poem that expressed Carlos’ s ideas as
well as those of Neville, whose many lectures she had attended  as a young
woman. I asked her to send it to me so that I could include it in this section
on using your attention to create the objectified life you desire. I place it here for you to consider:
When you think, choose car efully  
The thoughts of things you’d like to be …  
Thoughts entertained in the minds of men  
Become T omorr ow’s objectified whims. — M ARGARET  RUNY AN CASTANEDA
As you read and reread Margaret’ s words, note that everything  that you
materialize into this objectified physical reality is really nothing more than
a whim, but in order to experience it as your reality—though it is but an
illusion, since all is continuously changing—it must come from the
subjective  thoughts that you, and only you, must choose very carefully . I am asking you here to ignore every bit of information that’s directed at
you if it in any way contradicts the I am you’ve placed in your imagination. This is particularly relevant when it comes to the data you receive from
your own senses. Yes, I am saying that even your own eyes and ears are
objective inputs . An x-ray that shows you have a tumor that you can feel
with your fingers contradicts the I am in your imagination that says, I am
perfect health. You want to decide to live from the end you’re wishing for—not towar d an end that others have decided for you. Thus, you must discard
what your senses tell you, and stay with your subjective attention,
persistently and adamantly proclaiming, I am perfect health . Your
subjective attention is unrelated to what you have conditioned your
subconscious mind to believe to be your reality as indicated by what your
five senses so convincingly tell you. You are the I am that I am, and “that”
is your tumor -free existence. Redirect your attention away  from debates aimed at disputing or
convincing an external attitude and toward placing your attention on the
feeling  of the wish fulfilled. The outcome depends on your inner attitu de—
your subjective attention. You might consider being like a pit bull—teeth
firmly planted on a rubber bone. You must attach yourself spiritually to
what you have placed in your imagination as a future fact, and never allow
anyone, anything, any circumsta nce, no matter how persuasive their case, to
alter what you know to be your destiny . Every single item that brings up the
subject of what you are in the process of creating for yourself must
immediately trigger in you a response of putting all of your mental,
emotional, and physical attention on the I am that you have placed in your
imagination. This is where using that wonderful trash button will be
immensely useful to you. You can do everything right in the first three foundations of a wishes
fulfilled life, but if you allow your attention to be diverted by an outer
stimulus and abandon even for a moment the I am in your imagination, you
will delete the entire project. Develop a healthy attitude toward your highest
self, and all that it beckons you to be, by redirecting a habit of being
influenced by outer objective factors to trusting your ability  to choose
subjective attention, and focusing on inner rather than outer directives. Abraham Maslow spent a good part of his adult life researching and
writing about the idea of self-actualization. He described  the small
percentage of people he called “self-actualizing” as living at the
extraordinary level of conscious ness that I mentioned in the opening pages
of this book. I vividly recall Dr. Maslow’ s assertion that one of the highest
qualities these self-actualizers possess is the inclination to be independent
of the good opinion of others. Dr. Maslow presented his data and explained
it brilliantly to the academic community .I’m deeply attracted to this idea of living extraordinarily—independent of
the good opinion of others—stressing it in many of the books and
recordings I’ve produced, starting in 1971. Dr. Maslow passe d away on
June 8, 1970, the same day I received my doctorate degree—I’ve often felt
that in some mystical way , he was passing the baton to me. Choosing to be aware of your attention and managing to select subjective
attentiveness harmonizes with one of Dr. Maslow’ s most significant
attributes of living a self-actualized life: trusting yourself. When you trust
yourself to decide what is to be your destiny , you don’t allow externals to
discourage or influence you. What you place your attention on is your
burning desire and intense yearning combined with an intention to make
that your reality . You never allow outer circumstances to defle ct you from
your desires. This inner picture in your imagination is undisturbed by
opinions or provocations that originate outside of yourself. Subjective attention means that you and only you are the subject that
impacts the burning desires in your imagination. Remember , these ideas in
your imagination are simply thoughts that are being treated by you as
present facts. You are living and feeling as if your future dream  is a present
fact. Allowing a research report,  news story , contrary opinion, contradictory
incident, pronou ncement by a government agency , new law, or anything
else to take your attention away from the wishes in your imagination
dismantles and destroys your desired outcome. You must have faith, and faith is attained through complete trust and
confidence in the power of the one universal mind, which you are
inextricably a piece of. It is the God-realized you that placed those thoughts
and feelings into your mind and your body . You are the subject here, and
therefore you must trust in your subjective attention and not allow external
objective factors to hold sway over how you use your attention. One of the reasons I’m able to write about the hidden power of
manifestation buried deep within each of us is that during childhood I
unconsciously practiced these ideas while in foster homes—and they simply
became a part of who I am. Throughout my life I’ve been labeled
“stubborn,” “obsessive,” “headstrong,” and “unyielding” when it comes to
what I have in my imagination and seeing it become my physical reality . In order to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you must be able to
feel it in your body long before your senses are aware of it. This requirestenacity on your part and an unwillingness to allow your imagination,
where all things are created, to be objectified by anything external to
yourself. When you are adaman t about not letting your attention be directed
by outer influences, you are in the process of developing a habit that works
for, rather than against , you. Your inner pictures and the corresponding
feelings that are connected to your vision belong only to you, and you begin
to treat this inner world of thoughts and feelings as sacred territory . You
make the shift from believing  to knowing , and what you absolutely know  is
not tinged with doubt. As William Shakespeare put it, “Our doubts are
traitors.” Anyone or anything trying to diminish your inner feelings with
doubt is a traitor to be banished. With a recent diagnosis of leukemia I’ve done precisely what I’m writing
about, in the same way that I have for my entire life, concerni ng my own
fate and my own well-being. What I know for certain is that there’ s an
emotional comp onent to every illness. As I indicated earlier , I view my
elevated white-b lood-cell count as part of my body employing its God-
realized intelligence to heal whatever damage I’ve caused by participating
in psychologically traumatic activities, particularly in my relationships with
loved ones. So rather than cursing my body’ s innate wisdom, I am in a profound state
of gratitude for all that has come my way, including these elevated blood-
cell counts. The more I assume  the feeling of my I am well; I am strong
assertions in my imagination, the more the universe seems to send me the
right informatio n and the right people to assist me in living a wishes
fulfilled life. One particular incident stands out. The day that I received the diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, I
“coincidentally” met Pam McD onald, who had flown to Maui to see if I
would be willing to collaborate with her in her integrative-medicine
practice. She’d been using my previously published materials  with great
success, helping her patients heal from a wide variety of diseases and
illnesses—such as obesity , heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer ’s, and many
cancers and addictions that are so widespread they threaten our collective
physical well-being. Pam is a nurse-practitioner in Northern California. When I told her of the
diagnosis I’d received that very morning, she responded, “Now I know why
I was sent here—not to enlist your aid in my practice, but to serve you.” Onthe very day I received my diagnosis, Pam appeared in my life, committed
to being a primary health-care provider for me. Pam explained that correcting unhealthy nutritional habits can realign us
with the specific genetic blueprint that we are born with. Amazing healing
takes place with corrective genetic alignment, which treats diseases that are
associated with inflammatory diets and the way our body processes fats and
cholesterol. Whe n we begin to eat consciously , in harmony with our desire
to feel good and be well, the markers for these supposedly incurable
diseases begin to return to normal. Subsequently , she (all at her own expense) tested my blood for my APO E
gene and even flew to Southern California while I was at the Chopra Center
for Wellbeing visiting Deepak. Step-by-step, she explained an easy-to-adopt
nutritional plan that I’ve followed to a point where two of the eight markers
for chronic lymphocytic leukem ia (CLL) have headed back to normal. Pam
McDonald was an angel sent to me in my time of need. She has toured with
me and spoken to thousands of people at my public lectures. Pam has become a personal health-care practitioner , and has now helped
me and many thousands of others to improve their health. She’s written a
powerful book,  titled The Perfect Gene Diet, explaining all this in
professional detail. I’m proud to have written the Foreword, testifying to the
beneficial results that are waiting for you if you become conscious of your
eating habits and your food intake so that it aligns with the genetic profile
you’ve inherited. Make a commitment to your own highest state of physical
well-being by becoming aware that everything you eat impacts your ability
to facilitate the healing that your body craves. I decided from day one to assume the feeling of my wish fulfilled for a
healthy body . The truth is, I feel good, I am well, I am strong, and I
categorically refuse to entertain  any other input that conflicts with my I
ams. I know that when I stay in this place, aligned with my highest self and
the universal one mind responsib le for all of creation, almost magically—in
what Carl Jung called “synchro nicity”—things begin to happe n that can’t
happen when one is thinking and feeling from a non-well-being  state. Pam
showing up that day coincidentally  impacted my health, my outlook, my
well-being, and yes, my healing. Her presence in my life is now affecting
huge numbers of people all over the world, and absolutely could usher in a
new era of well-being for the entire planet.It isn’t a stretch  for me to say that by assuming the feeling of a wish
fulfilled, and using your subjective attention to deflect any and all
naysayers, you and many more like you can literally end some of the
epidemics that threaten the entire population of the world. It’ s that big! The Movement of Y our Attention and Y our I Ams
You have many ideas concernin g the person you’d like to be, as well as
what you’d like to manifest in your life. Y ou’ve placed those ideas into your
imagination, and you’re willing to live from rather than towar d those ends. You recognize your opportunit ies to assume the feeling in your body of
those wishes fulfilled—though they’re currently in your mind and not yet in
your everyday material world. You now need to know what to do when the
subject matter of your wishes comes up in any way—be it from other
people, external events, or even you tossing the matter over and over in
your mind. What you do or do not do will make all the difference in the
manifestation of your ideals. What you do is not necessarily what action you take, but rather where you
choose to place your mental attention. What you do with what is in your
mind is what I mean by your attention. So do not let your attention  be
affected by anything or anyone, regardless of the tone or feedback being
positive or negative, around where you are in the process of manifesting. Your I ams planted  firmly in your inner mental sanctum will provide you
with the strength and the power to keep your attention subjectively  focused. What follows are ways to consider the significance of making  the shift
from objective to subjective in the application of your personal attention. Your Intention Is to Experience the Healing of Y our Body
When referring to her near death experience (NDE), Anita Moorjani
(introduced earlier in this book)  said, “I was shown how illnesses start on
an energetic level before they become physical. If I chose to go into life, the
cancer would be gone from my energy, and my physical body would catch
up very quickly . I then understood that when people have medical
treatments for illnesses, it rids the illness only from their body but not from
their energy, so the illness return s. I realized if I went back, it would be witha very healthy energy. Then the physical body would catch  up to the
energetic condit ions very quickly and permanently .” Can you be open to the
idea that Anita learned, while in her near-death state, that all illness starts at
an ener getic level? You don’ t have to know what the state of your ener getic predisposition for
some illness might be—all you need to do is align your subcon scious mind
with the conscious suggestion that you have an energy body , and if you can
heal the energy that presuppos ed your illness, then you can quickly and
permanently heal your physical body . You might say that this is grandiosity ,
and it just of fers false hope to those who are incurably ill. I always loved the words of Michelangelo regarding this subject: “The
greater danger is not that our hopes are too high and we fail to reach them,
it’s that they are too low, and we do.” Hopes are thoughts in your
imagination that you can change into present-day facts. You do so by
assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled and choosing to use your new I
ams as facts that you feel and give subjective attention to. When you experience any kind of maladjustment in your body, you are
offered a great deal of objective  information to consider . “A friend of mine
died from what you have,” “Here’s some published research describing
what you have as incurable,” “Trust modern medicine rather than these
airy-fairy ideas,” “One-third of the population successfully deals with the
same condition with medication  while your malady gets worse because you
refuse medication”—these and thousands like them are objective offerings. You need to remain alert to your subjective attention  by going to the I am
that you have placed in your imagination and assume the feeling in your
body of that wish already fulfilled. Here’ s an offering from The “I AM” Discourses  by Saint Germain: “A
remarkable Statement that would be enormously helpful to the students
would be to say: ‘“I AM” the Miracle-W orking Presence in everything I
require to have done.’”33 This is subjecti ve attention at work in you. You
are the I am presence, if you trust in your highest self. And your highest self
fearlessly proclaims I am God. Begin to trust in the I am presence—it is your very essence as a spiritual
being having a temporary human experience. Persistently place your
fulfilled wishes in your subconscious mind with sentences like, I am thealmighty governing presence of my life and my world , and I am the health,
well-being, and harmony , self-sustained, which carries me through
everything that confr onts me. Trust in your inner guidance and your Divine
connection to the creator of worlds, rather than giving so much credence to
whatever objectified information appears in your daily life that is an assault
on your spiritual nature. Your Intention Is to Attract Pr osperity and Abundance into Y our Life
To attrac t appropriate and healthy prosperity or abundance into your life,
you need to place all of your attention on what that feels like. You need to
be able to feel what that is like even before it materializes to your
satisfaction. By feeling those pleasant sensations in your body , you
reprogram your segment of subconscious mind to harmonize with the
infinitely prospe rous universal subconscious mind where all manifestation
originates. Your ability to wholeheartedly align with this energetic field
means that you simply never again produce thoughts like, I hope someday
to become pr osper ous. Spend some time seriously considering the implications in this passage
from Neville’ s The Power of Awareness:  “‘I will be’ is a confession that ‘I
am not .’ The Father ’s will is always  ‘I AM.’ Until you realize that YOU are
the Father (there is only one I AM, and your infinite self is that I AM), your
will is always ‘ I will be.’”34
Chapter Three  in this book, on your highest self, introduced you to the
impossibility for the Source of all to say, “I will be,” because to do so is to
say, “I am not.”  How could God say, “I am not”? Wanting  to attract more
prosperity into your life is equivalent to sending the message of I am not. As long as this is your conscious thought, you are unwittingly programming
your subconscious mind to offer you experiences that match your feeling. I
am not project s a state of lack. There  will be an avalanche of objective
thoughts and ideas thrown at you regarding the intention you have of
experiencing a life of prosperity . I know this personally becaus e I’ve heard
it all my life. As a student of human nature, I long ago came to the conclusion  that most
people do not know how to make money or attract abundance. It’s a rare
person indeed who is the exception to this observation, although I amcertain that you—yes, you—ar e in the process of leaving that mind-set
behind. Many people feel that their life isn’t fulfilled because they do not
trust their own highest self. Quite likely this is so because they didn’ t
discover earlier in life that they even have a higher or highest self. When a
person knows that he or she is God and has awareness of his or her own
divinity , it is impossible to say, “I will be.” Why? Because “I will be”
means “I am not.”
Your subjective attention is how you choose to think , and especially feel,
about what you’ve placed in your imagination. The words that Srimati
Kashi Moni, the “sacred mother ,” spoke to Paramahansa Yogananda in his
book Autobiography of a Yogi have stayed with me my entire adult life:
“Seek divine wealth, not the paltry tinsel of earth. After acquiring inward
treasure, you will find that outward supply is always forthcoming.”
Your inwar d treasur e is your feeling  of living in a world of unlimited
abundance. Refu se to allow any external data to deflect you from what you
have placed in your imagination. Always live from your subjective feelings
of I am pr osper ous; I am wealthy; I am content. With your imagination, you
will then program your subconscious mind to align with experiences that
match what you feel in your body . As a young boy living in a foster home, I always knew that I could attract
spending money into my world, even though most of the children around
me seem ed only to know scarc ity and that’s what they always  seemed to
attract. As a young man I knew  inwardly that money would chase me if I
acted on my feelings. As Param ahansa Yogananda’ s sacred mother ’s advice
relates, I seemed to seek the Divine wealth of inner feelings and knew that
the outward supply would find me. I was told by objectified attention that being a schoolteacher ensured that
I’d neve r have wealth because it’s a low-paying profession, but I expunged
such silliness from my inner world. The same was true for my writing, my
lecturing, and all of my other professional activities. I feel prosperous, and I
know that I will continue to act on my inner experiences of abundance—
and that universal mind will also offer me the right people, events, and
circumstances guiding me on this spiritual path of extraordi nary higher
awareness. My story concerning the manifestation of abundance throughout my life is
never allowing  anyone, no matter how persuasive, to infiltrate myimagination, which feels prosperous and able to attract unlimited
abundance. By holding this inner view as sacrosanct, and never allowing
anything to besmirch this inner knowing, I acted in ways that produced
prosperity—but the universe always seems to send me the assistance I
require to make my future dreams a present fact. Here is Saint Germain in The “I AM” Discourses  on the power you
possess as a result of your very beingness: “The moment you say ‘I AM,’
you set in motio n this Power that has inherent within It all these faculties. It
has all substanc e, and must take on whatsoever form the attention of the
mind is fixed upon. The ‘I AM’ is the Fathomless Mind of God.”35 Use
this fathomless mind of yours to place your attention always  on what is
aligned with your Source of being—the unlimited abundance that is the
highest good for all concerned. Your Intention Is to Live a Life of Happiness
Happiness isn’t some thing  in the material world that can be acquired and
stored and used when needed or wanted. If it were, I’d give you a lifetime
supply that would guarantee a happy life. No—happiness is an attitude that
comes from within you. It’s accessible when you place in your imagination
an I am statement that reflects your attunement with the simple truth that
happiness is indeed an inside job. Happiness is an inner belief that you
bring to everyone and everything you undertake, rather than expecting your
happiness to come to you from  others or from your accomplishments and
acquisitions. There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way . State your intention to live a happy , contented life; place it squarely in the
most prominent place within your imagination, and live from that place as if
it were your reality. When circumstances and/or your five senses try to
influence you that you’re wrong , gently and with loving confidence let the
fearful or nay-sa ying thoughts drift by like passing clouds as you focus on
your nourishing imagination, which cannot be altered without your
agreement. Neville speaks without hesitation on this matter: “The promise
is definite that if you are shameless in your impudence in assuming that you
already have  that which your senses deny , it shall be given unto you— your
desir e shall be attained. ”36Don’ t be dismayed when you encounter people and circumstances that
attempt to convince you the I am happy  assertion that you’ve placed in your
imagination is absurd. Don’ t let these objective attempts influence you to
assume the feeling of a wish for unhappiness  to be fulfilled! Persist in
stating your inner mantras of I am happy  and I am content  while assuming
the feeling in your body of this already fulfilled—or as Neville stated, be
“shameless in your impudence” in assuming the feeling of happy
contentment. This means that you permit only your personal subjective attention to
align with your inner I am declaration. Y our subconscious mind understands
who you intend to be, and you will naturally discontinue inviting or
entertaining any form of “I have  a right to be miserable,” “How could I ever
be happy with the circumstances that define my life?” “My parent, spouse,
sister [any exter nal relationship ] make me unhappy ,” and so on. How is it
ever possible for God to say, “I am miserable” or “I am unhappy”? Remember , you have a highest self, and it is one with God. Here is Saint Germain speaking  on this subject in a transmission received
on November 24, 1932:
I would suggest that those who have been having unpleasant experiences would
consciously withdraw  from those conditio ns all power they have been giving them , mostly
unknowingly . When it is necessary to discuss some condition to understand it, immediately
follow by withdrawi ng any power that has been given it, and then know , “‘I AM’ the
Harmonious Presence, ever pervading whatever the condition may be.”
When I say: “‘I AM’ the Governing Presence,’” “I AM” fully, consciously aware that I
have set in motion the Full Power and Intelligence of God producing the desired conditions,
and that they are thus Self-sustained.37
I urge you to read and sustain this message regarding your own happiness. Be dedicated to your own subjective attention—always reminding it and
yourself that I am the harmonious and governing presence. You will
activate the power of God because you are at one with your all-creating
Source. Whether it’s your health, wealth, happiness, or any other element of your
entire life exper ience, it is essential to keep in mind the importance of the
movement of your attention. You must be obstinate and persistent in not
allowing the viewpoints or information of others to alter your inner world. You know what you wish to become and what you would like to manifestfor yourself. Now keep your imagination so aligned and feel it in your body . Using your subjective attention will produce the desired conditions. Three Suggestions
— Become conscious of objec tive efforts designed to persuade you to
abandon the ideas and ideals you have tucked away in your imagination. As
your awareness intensifies, practice a subjective alternative to those
objective efforts. Whenever your attention is drawn to negating what you
are in the process of manifesting , close your eyes, sit quietly for a moment,
and repeat your I am to yourself over and over until you feel it
reverberating within your body . Be on guard—ready and willing to dismiss
any objectified information that conflicts with your inner vision. The more
you practice this, the less your old mind viruses will impact you. Soon there
will be a new embedded trust in your ability to manifest the life you desire. — Use what I call the super glue method for placing intentions into your
imagination: Imagine you have a substance that’s so strong it can’t weaken
or break. This is the stuff you dab on your I am as it is placed in your
private inner domain. It’s equivalent to saying, “Nothing external to myself
has the power to remove what I place on my inner screen.” When you say,
“I am healthy ,” “I am prosperous,” “I am happy ,” or any other I am, you are
using the name of God, which is inviolable as far as you’re concerned. This
is a spiritual decision on your part to become the ideal that you know deep
within you is your calling. The super glue metaphor will remind  you to use
only your subjective attention when your wishes fulfilled intentions are
visible to others. — Inner intentions are a private matter between you and your Source of
being. Inviting others to support  or consider your intentions is an invitation
to their objective attention. Responses are often designed to convince you
that your intention is an impossible dream. You’ll be in the position of
defending (or at the very least, explaining) yourself. This is an invitation to
ego, who will leap at this opportunity to shift your inner intentions and
dispute the external, supposedly  logical or scientific facts that are coming
your way .Manifestation is a spiritual exercise. Thus, it defies logic, facts, past
experiences, scientific evidence, and all sorts of objective opini ons. Keep it
a private matter in the spirit of Neville: “Therefore, when you know what
you want, you must deliberately  focus your attention on the feeling of your
wish fulfilled until that feeling fills the mind and crowds all other ideas out
of consciousness.”38
Keep your intentions private—avoiding the necessity of deflecting well-
meaning opinions from external forces. I end this chapter with the words of Saint Paul in his letters to the
Philippians. This is one of my favorite verses in the New T estament:
“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content
whatever the cir cumstances” (Philippians 4:1 1). This is the ultimate use of subjective attention. OceanofPDF .comCHAPTER EIGHT
THE FIFTH  WISHES  FULFILLED  FOUNDA TION :
NOW I LAY ME DOWN T O SLEEP
“In a dr eam, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while
slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their
instruction.”
— JOB 33:15–16
It is in sleep that you enter the world of your subconscious mind , and it is
here that you will be makin g your impression and receiving your
instructions, as indicated in this biblical quote from the book of Job. I
would like you to think about the nature of your subconscious mind, which
has been programmed by your conscious mind to act habitua lly; that is,
without thinking  about what you are doing or not doing. You, no doubt, will
have recollections like the one I just had. I recall being 15 years old, learning to drive a standard-shift car. I was
using my conscious mind to practice a seemingly endless list of maneuvers
with a thought process that went something like this: I have a car here with
three foot pedals, and I only have two feet to work with. I must push my left
foot down on the clutch pedal, and with my right foot on the accelerator
pedal, slowly—and I mean very slowly—let the clutch pedal out while
simultaneously pushing down on the accelerator pedal with the same
amount of pressur e with my right foot as the pressur e I’m releasing with my
left foot on the clutch pedal. Too much gas, or not enough clutch, and the
car will stall … and then there’s that third pedal for braking, which I have
no idea how to use, as the car keeps lurching forwar d. Which  foot? How
much pr essur e? On and on went my consciou s mind, trying to master this seemingly
impossible task of learning to drive without jerking the car and stalling the
engine. Then came the time when I was on a steep incline of a hill waiting
for a red light to turn green—while I sat there with one foot on the clutch,one foot on the brake to keep the car from rolling backward down the hill
into the car behind me, and no feet left over for the all-importa nt gas pedal
to move forward! My point is that my conscious mind was sending impressions and
instructions to my subconsciou s mind until ultimately I no longer needed
my conscious mind to drive a standard-shift car. It all became  automatic,
and my habitua l subconscious mind took over and did it all for me. This
subconscious mind of mine didn’ t care how I was feeling, how much time
had passed since I’d previously  driven, what I believed, what  others said
about the difficulty of driving a standard-shift car—all it did was react to
the programmin g I had offered  it, and then took over the act of driving
smoothly and ef fortlessly without my ever having to think about it again. Thirty years passed, and I took my family to Italy for a two-week tour. When we rented a car in Milan , the only one available was a Fiat with a
clutch, brake, and accelerator pedal. I hadn’ t driven a standard-shift car in
three decades, yet my subconsc ious mind knew precisely what to do and
took over the driving for our entire time in Italy. Much like the ice-skating
story I wrote about earlier , that habitual mind of mine had been sufficiently
trained and need ed no further reminders in order to take on the present-day
task. The subconscious mind is forever imprinted once it has been
sufficiently programmed and received its instruction—it simply takes over,
and the conscious mind is seldom needed. Your subconscious mind hand les about 96 percent of all that you
undertake in your life. It is as if you are placed on automatic pilot for
almost everythi ng that you do each and every day of your life. The
examples of learning to drive a standard-shift car and ice-skating bring it
home clearly in the dimension of your physical body . You train it to act
automatically once the conscious mind is no longer needed. This same
programming functions success fully in every area of your life, including
your ability to manifest a wishes fulfilled life. Preparing for Sleep and Y our Subconscious Mind
Sleep is the time when your conscious mind leaves the world of your five
senses and joins in with your subconscious mind. Your subconscious
habitual mind is uninterested in changing your conscious beliefs  or feelings.It simply responds to what has been programmed into it. Neville reminds us
that “The unconsciousness of sleep is the normal state of the
subconscious.”39 You spend one-third or more of your entire time here in
this incarnation in this normal state of the subconscious mind. This is where
you receive instructions for how the other two-thirds of your life can
unfold. Here is where you receive instructions for running your life
smoothly , effortlessly , and miraculously . It’s similar to the mode of consciously learning to drive a stick shift,
master the computer , knit a sweater , swim, dance, hit a golf ball, and all the
other multitude of activities you perform in your waking moments, usually
without having to think about how to do them. Including what you are
doing right here in this moment: reading a book! The most significant thing that I want you to capture and apply from this
chapter is not so much what you do while you are dreaming and sleeping,
but how you prepare yourself for entering into your unconsci ous state of
sleep. Sleep is the natural state for your subconscious mind, which rules about
96 percent of your waking life. The last five minutes of your day before you
enter into your sleep state are the most important five minutes of your day if
you are going to begin living a wishes fulfilled life. In this brief portion of
your day, you are going to tell your subconscious mind how you feel and
what wishes God (the universal  one subconscious mind) is to fulfill upon
awakening from  your deep slumber . This five-minute segmen t of time in
your bed, about to enter into your subconscious and marinate for the next
eight hours or so, is the most crucial segment of your entire 24-hour day . You can use this time in one of two ways.

        You will in time impress your
subconscious mind with all that it needs in order to match your desires with
your reality. Your Conscious and Subconscious Mind
Your conscious mind is private and it is always personal. It is the aspect of
you that makes decisions, chooses this or that, and remains aware of whatyou do and how your decisions impact your volitional activities. As a young boy I learned how to ice-skate by becoming conscious of every
step along the way to be able to move and balance myself on a blade less
than a centimeter across while on a surface of slick ice. My conscious mind
kept correcting me, telling me to hold my arms out for balance, bend my
knees in a certain way, turn the blades on my feet to the side to come to a
halt, and so on. After spending time using my conscious mind to inform and
direct my body to keep from falling, I became an accompli shed hockey
player and practically lived on the ice throughout my teenage years. That
was my conscious mind at work. Now fast-forward 40 years, and I’m staying at a home with a frozen-solid
pond in the back acre during a cold winter in Massachusetts. I purchase a
pair of ice skates, lace them up, and even though it has been  almost four
decades since I’ve been on the ice, off I go, skating as if I’d been doing so
every day. All of the moves were there—I skated backward in circles and
had the time of my life. The body I occupied didn’ t have one single cell
remaining from the time when my conscious mind  taught my subconscious
mind  how to skate  all those decades earlier. In this example, my
subconscious mind took over and allowed me to have an exhilarating day on
the ice. I’m sure you can recall times when your conscious mind generated ideas
and impressed those ideas on your subconscious mind. This is how you
learned to drive a car, do yoga exercises, cook a soufflé, and everything else
that requires a multitude of complex maneuvers to do without the aid of your
conscious mind. Your mind receives these ideas and ultimately gives form
and expression to them. You have thoughts about trying something and then
proceed to consciously practice, and you may not even realize that you are
implanting the know-how in your subconscious mind. Your conscious mind
is responsible for only 4 or 5 percent of all of your actions, including what
you manifest. Your subconscious mind—on autopilot once it has been imprinted by your
conscious mind with its thoughts and ideas—runs the show that is called
Your Life. It accounts for some 96 percent or more of everything you do and
everything you attract into your life. However, all things, includ ing what you
desire to manifest for yourself, evolve out of your thinking/conscious mind,
and must then be impressed upon your subconscious mind. This is the cycle,and without this precise sequencing nothing will be made. Your feelings are
deeply involved in this sequence. The Role of Y our Feelings in Fulfilling Y our W ishes
Here’ s an observ ation from Neville regarding the importance of assuming
the feeling  of the wish fulfilled:
Ideas are impressed on the subconscious through the medium of feeling. No idea can be
impressed on the subconscious mind until it is felt, but once felt—be it good, bad or indifferent
—it must be expressed. Feeling is the one and only medium through which ideas are conveyed
to the subconscious. 22
Your subconscious impressions are reflected in the conditions of your
world. The strange and wonderful thing about your subconscious mind is
that it always accepts as true what you feel to be true. The key words here
are feel to be true. Your feelings allow your subconscious mind to spring
into action. Earlier in this chap ter I described intellectual understanding as
tossing ideas around in your mind and drawing conclusions. Spiritual
understanding differs in that it requires experiencing  it. The way to
understand something spiritual ly is through experiencing it. Your feelings
are the tools you have for exper iencing your subconscious mind and making
it your material world reality. Your feelings happen in your body, where you live and breathe. How you
feel is your experience of life. These feelings flow from the thoughts you
place in your imagination, and you are free to select any thought you desire. As I’ve reiterated throughout this book, when these thoughts are aligned
with how your Source of being thinks, your feelings emanate as God-
realized experiences within your body. The utmost feeling that defines God, and your own highest self, is the
feeling of love. “God is love, and he who abides in love abides  in God, and
God in him. ” Because your feelings, especially the feeling of love, are
impressed on your subconscious mind, which is responsible for virtually
everything that you do, experience, and manifest in your life—your mission
is to get to that place of assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, even if the
wish has yet to materialize in your physical reality. Assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled involves this fundamental
awareness of how the subconscious mind works. Your subconscious mind isnot personal; it is an expression of the one universal subconscious mind that
we all use. This is a gnarly concept because your ego, where you spend the
vast majority of your time, is so personal that you cannot grasp that we all
share the same, the only, subconscious mind. As Neville states, “The
subconscious is not selective; it is impersonal and no respecter of
persons. ”23 You want to keep tabs on what feelings you are associating with
the wish es you have placed in your imagination, because whate ver they are,
you will see the universe aligning with them to provide experiences that
match up with what you have impressed upon this universal subconscious
mind. Think thoughts like, I am well, I am strong, I am prosper ous, and I am
employed;  place them into your imagination, and then assume the feeling of
that wish fulfilled. If you can experience the feeling  of love, joy,
exhilaration, peace, and happiness in your body—even when your sensations
are contradictor y—your subconscious records the feelings. Neville  is clear
about this: “To impress the subconscious with the desirable state you must
assume the feeling that would be yours had you already realized your
wish. ”24
Feeling  any state you wish to achieve is the experience that impresses it on
the subconscious. Once again  turning to Neville, he tells us, “The
subconscious is the womb of creation. It receives the idea unto itself through
the feelings of man. It never changes the idea received, but always gives it
form. ”25 Always gives it form —meaning that you must begin  programming
your subconscious mind, which  will take over much like mine did when I
laced up those ice skates without any prodding from my thinking or
conscious mind in spite of a 40-year interval. The subconscious mind accepts as true what you feel is true. Your feelings
determine your reality because they’re impressed on the subconscious. Consciously feeling hopeless, and entertaining this idea in your imagination
with even more imaginative feelings of hopelessness, will impress on the
subconscious mind the idea of failure. Consequently, you will be offered
experiences by the one universal subconscious mind that will match what
you’ve felt is true. Remember, the subconscious mind is impersonal and
nonselective. It cannot make a distinction between what you feel as a resultof your daily life experiences and what you feel as a result of what you have
placed into your imagination as a future desire. If you put the seed of failure into the subconscious and feed it with feeling
that way, it will reproduce failure. If you plant the seed of disea se into your
subconscious mind by feeling this way in your body, it will augment disease
for you. If you plant the seed of misery into your subconscio us mind by
feeling miserabl e, it will cultivate and produce misery for you. This is why it
is so all-out crucial to begin feeling  in your body what you would like to
manifest into your life. You can get to the point where the magnetic-like
power in your own field of energy is so joyfully loving that you can have a
mere flash of imagining and feeling something powerful and good, and with
almost no passage of three-dimensional time it will appear in your life. Whatever you wish to manife st, associate a feeling of love with it and
impress that feeling on the universal subconscious mind—and it will do the
rest. I am doing this as I contemplate the completion of this book in my
imagination at this moment as I’m writing. I bathe this thought  in pure love
and feel the happiness that these words will bring to millions of people. I
feel that loving sense of accomplishment in my entire being, inner and outer. The feeling I’m impressing on the subconscious mind is pure ecstatic love. God is love, and with God, all things are possible. I know the universal mind
must act upon what has been impressed upon it. And I am patient, and I am
content. If you seek on the outside that which you are unwilling or unabl e to feel on
the inside, you are seeking in vain. You attain that which you are—not
simply what you want. Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled  and because
you are experien cing it, that is what will manifest for you. The subconscious
mind creates exactly what you believe in and can feel in your body. Choosing to Feel Good
It is reported that Swami Muktananda asked each visitor entering his
ashram if he knew the difference between feeling good and feeling God. If
the devotee shook his head indicating he did not know, Muktananda would
form a circle with his forefinger and thumb indicating zero—meaning there
is zero differen ce between the two—God and good are one. “In thebeginning God created the heave ns and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). Thirty lines
later, it is written  in the Torah, “Then God saw everything that He had made,
and indeed it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). God and all that He created is
good. When you choose to feel good, you are choosing to feel what I
described earlier as your highest self— the onen ess that is called both good
and God. Comm it to making this your reality by repeating your intention to
feel God-realize d. Say to yourself, I intend to feel good  or, as a synonym for
God, I intend to feel love. Don’ t dwell on your troubles, difficulties, or illnesses. The subconscious
mind by its very nonselective nature accepts all your feelings associated with
troubles as your request—and worst of all, proceeds to make them your
experience in the world of your material reality. On the other hand, feeling
love associated with what you have placed in your imagination triggers the
subconscious mind to produce experiences that reflect its own Divine nature. Feel the feeling of love in your body directed at what you place in your
imagination as an idea, and then you activate the subconscious mind. The moment it receives a feelin g impression, it takes action on working
out the ways of its expression. I have been doing precisely this since I had a
diagnosis of leukemia some two years ago. I place into my imagination an I
am that says I am strong; I am perfect health. This is my imagination, and I
can place any conscious thoughts in there that I choose, regardless of what
my five senses might be saying to me. I live from this awareness of I am
strong; I am perfect health. I talk to my body and remind it that I refuse to
dwell on any I am weak; I am sick  images. The most important thing I do is choosing to feel good regardless of what
the numbers on any medical screen might say. I meditate on I am strong; I
am perfect health; and I infus e my entire being, inner and outer, with a
feeling of love and gratitude for this moment, this day, this body that has
housed my invisible soul for these 71-plus years, and I assume the feeling of
the wish fulfilled. I have no thoughts of impending doom, only feelings of
love for this miracle that I am. I treat my leukemia diagnosi s as healing
information being given to me rather than as a disease. Can you imagine that God would build us in such a way that our cells
would actually go to war with one another. War isn’t even a concept that
God is capable of implementing; war is a human concept—one that man has
applied to his theories of how our body functions. What if all of thesedisease-model war theories are just as wrong in regard to our physical body
as they are in resolving confli cts between people. What if what we call
“illness” or “disease” is not that at all. What if we stopped looking at our
health through scientific/medical theories and really looked at what our body
is doing, and how it heals itself. There are biological laws that your body abides by, and often what is
labeled “disease ” is actually your body’ s natural healing reflex. Perhaps it is
a false belief that feeling unwell or having an abnormal blood count means
you must fix it as quickly as possible. Must you search out a pill to fix
everything. If you cut yourself, your body knows what to do—it forms a
scab on its own. The presence of a scab doesn’ t indicate that your body is
out of balance and requires medical intervention. There’ s swelling,
inflammation—and yes, some pain—but that isn’t disease unles s it becomes
excessive. This way of recogniz ing your body’ s healing intelligence instead
of treati ng it as a disease is equally true for psychological and emotional
incidents. Unexpected psychological events—such as the breakup of a marriage, a
financial crisis, or the death of a loved one—create reactions in the brain that
trigger physical responses in the body that are designed to assist the body in
dealing with the conflict. The body continues to assist until the conflict is
resolved, and then it goes into a healing phase to get back to its natural state
of well- being. During this healing phase the body may utilize swelling,
inflammation, fatigue, and an elevated white-blood-cell count as part of the
healing process. Leukemia, for instance, can actually be the healing phase of a severe
psychological series of traumati zing events. This healing phase for leukemia
first involves the expansion of blood vessels, lymph vessels, and a rise in
leukocytes or leucoplasts; eventually, as the brain receives the healing
message, blood cells of a good quality are produced, platelet counts return to
normal, and energy levels rise. As I view it, my job is to heal any and all
relationship conflicts and to feel completely valued, while eliminating and
resolving any long-held conflicts and beliefs about myself. In other words, to
feel good—that is, to feel God—and to offer unconditional love to everyone,
including those who may have played a major part in any and all conflict
dramas that once defined my life. This is how I deal with a diagnosis of leukemia. I choose to feel good
(God), to trust my body to use its inherent wisdom for healing, and to treat
the diagnostic numbers in medical lab reports as what I’m supposed to be
experiencing. I go by how I feel, and the truth is, I am well, I am strong, and yes, I am
God. I treat my body well, eat healthful and high-protein foods, rest,
exercise, do yoga, and know that everything is in Divine hands and in Divine
order. I view illness not as a failure on my part, but as the wond erful healing
that it truly is, and I don’ t need pills, radiation, or invasive procedures. The fact is that I feel good, and I am resolving any and all conflicts with
massive doses of love (God is love, remember). This is what  I choose to
imprint on my subconscious mind, and the subconscious mind accepts as
true that which I feel is true. Creation is the result of subconscious
impressions, and by my feelings, I determine creation. Impacting Y our Subconscious Mind
As I close this section on the necessity of assuming the feeling of the wish
fulfilled to facilitate your having an active role in manifesti ng a wishes
fulfilled life, I offer you three reminders for how the subconscious mind
works in collaboration with your feelings as a crucial component of this
magnificent and mystifying process:
1. The subconscious mind responds to suggestions. You can reprog ram
your subconscious mind so that it goes on its accustomed role of autopilot
with mental and feeling images from yourself. Talk to this automatically
receptive component of yoursel f, telling it that you are unlimited, and that
you believe all things are possib le. Fill it with images of you being all that
you dare to become. Go to a quiet place and feel in your body what it would
feel like were those thoughts in your imagination your present reality. 2. The subcons cious mind possesses the power to manifest physical
reality from thought. Every object and circumstance in this world is
representative of a mental thought. All that now exists was once imagined—
such is the power of the subconscious mind. But in order to partake of this
incredible powe rhouse of creation that you are, you must be able and willing
to experience within yourself— in your mind—that which you wish tomanifest. Thoug hts become things when you feel them, and are able to
impress them upon the subconscious mind, which will then take over. Here is how Neville describes this phenomenon: “This substance is
consciousness. It is your imagination which forms this substance into
concepts, which concepts are then manifested as circumstances, and physical
objects. Thus imagination made your world. ”26 And then his take on the
importance of feelings in programming the subconscious mind: “The reality
of your assumption has its being  in complete independence of objective fact
and will clothe itself in flesh if you persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. When you know that assumptions, if persisted in, harden into facts, then
events which seem to the uninitiated mere accidents will be understood by
you to be the logical and inevitable effects  of your assumption. ”27
3. Love  is the feeling you must learn to assume. Subconscious mind is
really a piece of the one mind, and you and I are living in that mind. This
universal subcon scious mind is the first cause, and the stuff from which all
things are made. This thingless  thing is really love. When you feel it, truly
feel it within as your private inner awareness regarding what you would like
to manifest, you gain the power of creation. Recall what Saint Francis of
Assisi said in one line of his famous prayer: “Lord, make me an instrument
of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. ” You are asking in this
prayer to have the feeling of the wish fulfilled. When you experience anger, frustration, fear, doubt, worry, stress, and so
on, ramp up your love and immerse those negative feelings in a container of
pure love. Simply choose  to feel good because every moment of offering
love brings your little sliver of subconscious mind into harmony with the all-
creating one universal subconscious mind that is defined as love. I trust I’ve awakened within you the awareness that your feelings play a
huge role in your becoming a God-realized manifesting being. Neville states
this very clearly: “Denying the evidence of the senses and appropriating the
feeling of the wish fulfilled is the way to the realization of your desire. ”28
Apply his wisdom beginning now—it will serve you in ways that you may
never have imagined in common hours. And remember that picturing thefuture without assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled is nothing but futile
daydreaming. Three Suggestions
— Practice feeling a thought that you have inserted into your imagination. Remember that a feeling is what you feel in your body as you contemplate
what it is you wish to manifest or who you would like to become. Close your
eyes and experience what that feels like in your body. Work with sensations
that are not only your experience of what you are imagining in your body but
are triggers that assist you in moving from a thought to a hardened physical
reality. — Wha tever feeling you are attempting to notice in your body regarding
your wishes or desire, bathe it in love—the synonym for God. Imagine what
you want. Imagine and feel that love as if you were now in possession of it. Continue doing this using love, until your desire actually belongs to you. During this process remind yourself that the more love (God) you offer, the
sooner desire becomes reality. Look into your mirror fearlessly, saying, I not
only love you—I am love. — Acquaint yourself with the subconscious mind. Your piece of
subconscious mind acts on what you program into it so that it becomes your
automatic mind acting habitually. Decide on a habit that you would like to be
automatic—being generous, for example. Tell yourself, I am a gener ous
person. Give somethin g away in a spirit of generosity, even if it’s only a
small coin or a word of encouragement. The more thoughts and actions you practice around your new I am, the
more the subconscious mind will react in kind until eventually it will act in
generous ways out of a new habit that you’ve created. You have the power to
impress upon the subconscious mind any I am of your choosing. Photos on this page: Rosanna Sardella, www. emer geforhealing. com
