something to be used? These are indicative questions and will reveal to you the state of your subconscious mind.

Your mind itself has three sections: your conscious, your subconscious and your superconscious. But we are now dealing only with the conscious and the subconscious. The first, your mentality, completely dominates your conscious mind. You can think calmly of a number of things without any emotional impact whatever.
But the second, the subconscious, does not think very much. It feels. So we say that the subconscious is the feeling body, and the conscious the mental body. You have therefore two divisions: a minimum of emotion in the conscious, and a minimum of thought in the subconscious.

The subconscious does not reason. It definitely has no sense of humor. But it has a complete memory, as well as a record of anything you ever believed with conviction, carefully stored away. These memories it reproduces over and over until we begin to devise a way of controlling it and changing what we do not want there.

Now there are two types of subconscious minds. One is utterly pessimistic and the other is optimistic. The tone of the subconscious is responsible for your personality.

All of us have had the experience of meeting a person who for no apparent reason, we do not like. Or we have been immediately drawn to someone without knowing the reason why.

This is because of the radiation from the subconscious mind. A pessimistic subconscious will repel people. You sense an atmosphere of coldness, and you are repelled. Or, if it is an optimistic one, you get a radiation of warmth and you are drawn to the person.

There is a definite polarity which draws you or repels you, and it is from the subconscious mind. There are many people who want to be liked, to be pleasant, and who do not understand why they are not liked, why they do not have more friends, and get along better. It is because of their subconscious disposition.
