Tapping
Your Superconscious Mind
Tapping Your Superconscious Mind

You have available to you, right now, a power like
a supercomputer that can enable you to solve any problem, overcome
any obstacle and achieve any goal you can set for yourself.
This power has been used throughout history to take people from
rags to riches, from poverty and obscurity to success and fame,
from unhappiness and frustration to joy and self-fulfillment. And
it can do the same for you.
This power has been called many things by many people in many places.
It is the fundamental principle of most religions, philosophies
and metaphysical teachings. It underlies much of psychology and
is the cornerstone of all success and achievement. In its simplest
terms, it is called the “subconscious mind,” although
this is a misunderstanding because the true subconscious mind is
merely a memory bank of senses and impressions that reacts automatically
based on your previous experiences.
It has also been called the “universal subconscious mind”
and the “collective unconscious.” The great Austrian
psychoanalyst, Carl Jung, referred to this as the “superconscious
mind.” He felt that the collective wisdom and knowledge of
all the ages was contained in this superconscious mind and was available
to everyone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson referred to it as the “oversoul”
and wrote that, “We live in the lap of an immense intelligence
that, when we are in its presence, we realize that it is far beyond
our human mind.” Emerson, the great American transcendentalist,
felt that all power and possibility for the average person came
from using this mind on a regular basis.
Napoleon Hill, perhaps the greatest researcher on success of the
20th century, called this power the “infinite intelligence.”
After spending more than 20 years interviewing 500 of the most successful
men and women alive in America at that time, he concluded that,
without exception, their ability to tap into this higher form of
infinite intelligence was the primary reason for their great success
in life.
Whatever you choose to call it, this power is as available to you
at this very minute as it ever has been to anyone, anywhere. I refer
to it as the “superconscious mind,” the mind that is
above and outside all other minds or intelligences.
The superconscious mind is the source of all examples of pure creativity.
It is the superconscious mind that is functioning at the creation
of anything that is completely new in the universe. The superconscious
mind was tapped into and used by all the great inventors, writers,
artists and composers of history on a regular basis, right up to
the present day. Every great work of art or creativity is infused
with superconscious energy.
Thomas Edison used his superconscious mind regularly to come up
with hundreds of brand new ideas and inventions, more than 1,000
of which completely transformed America at the beginning of the
20th century. More recently, William Gates came up with an idea
for a basic operating system for the early computers, which he called
“MS-DOS.” It was so unique and revolutionary that he
and Paul Allen were actually writing the program on the airplane
as they flew to their meeting with their first customer.
Today, Bill Gates is the world’s richest man, and it all came
from a superconscious flash of insight. Bach, Beethoven and Brahms
tapped into the superconscious mind regularly to write some of the
finest music ever heard. Mozart was so finely tuned into his superconscious
mind that he could both see and hear the music in his head and was
then able to write down some of the most beautiful music of the
ages, note perfect, the very first time he put pen to paper.
Whenever you see, read, listen to, or experience a great achievement
of any kind that touches something deep inside you, you are witness
to a superconscious creation.
Your superconscious mind can access every piece of information stored
in your conscious and subconscious minds. It can also access data
and ideas outside your own experience, because it actually lies
outside your human mind. This is why it is called a form of universal
or infinite intelligence.
You will often get ideas that come to you from far beyond you. It
is not unusual for two people separated by thousands of miles of
distance to come up with the same idea at the same time. When you
are well-attuned to another person, such as your spouse or mate,
you will often have thoughts identical to him or her at the same
time during the day, and you will only find out that you had reached
the same conclusion when you compare notes hours later. This is
an example of your superconscious mind at work.
Sometimes when you are with other positive, goal-oriented people,
your combined superconscious minds will form a higher mind that
you can all tap into. This is why, when you are involved in a conversation
or listening to a lecture, ideas and inspirations will often leap
into your mind that have no direct connection to what is being discussed.
But those ideas and inspirations may be exactly what you need at
that moment to move you forward on your journey. Your superconscious
mind is capable of goal-oriented motivation.
When you are working determinedly toward a goal of your own choosing,
your superconscious mind will generate a continuous flow of ideas
and energy to help you move onward. In fact, your superconscious
mind is a form of “free energy.” This free energy becomes
available to you when you become excited or inspired about achieving
something that is really important to you. You seem to be able to
continue hour after hour without fatigue. Sometimes you even forget
to eat, and you need far less sleep than you would normally. After
you have achieved your goal, you may collapse in exhaustion, but
while you are moving toward it, you seem to be flowing with continuous
energy and enthusiasm. Your superconscious mind automatically and
continually solves every problem on the way to your goal, as long
as your goal is clear. Your superconscious mind will also give you
the lessons and experiences that you need to succeed, in the form
of setbacks, problems, frustrations and temporary failures.
Your superconscious mind will also bring you the exact answer you
require to solve your problem or achieve your goal, exactly when
you are ready for it. When your superconscious mind gives you a
hunch or an inspiration, remember, this is time-dated material.
You must act on it immediately.
I’ve had many experiences of wrestling with a problem that
I have been unable to resolve until the last minute. Then, right
when I need it, the answer becomes perfectly clear. This will happen
to you as well when you use the power of your superconscious mind.
The critical factor in using your superconscious mind is your attitude.
Your superconscious mind functions best with an attitude of calm,
confident expectations. When you adopt an attitude of faith and
acceptance, when you confidently accept and believe that everything
that is happening to you is moving you progressively toward the
achievement of your goal, your superconscious mind seems to come
alive, like all the lights have been turned on in a room. This is
why successful people seem to have tremendous clarity concerning
what they want, along with tremendous calmness and confidence regarding
their ability to achieve it. This combination of attitudes will
throw the power switch on your superconscious abilities.
Because of your superconscious powers, anything that you can hold
in your mind on a continuing basis, you can have. Emerson wrote,
“A man becomes what he thinks about, most of the time.”
Earl Nightingale wrote, “You become what you think about.”
In the Bible it says that, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that
also shall he reap.” And this law of sowing and reaping refers
to mental states; to your thoughts. Of course, there is a potential
danger in the use of your superconscious mind. It is like fire3⁄4a
wonderful servant, but a terrible master. If you use it improperly,
and think negative, fearful thoughts, your superconscious mind will
accept your thoughts as a command and go to work to materialize
them into your reality. What is the difference between successful
people and unsuccessful people? It is as simple as this: Successful
people think and talk about what they want, and unsuccessful people
talk about what they don’t want.
So here is a 10-step plan for plugging into your superconscious
power to get what you truly want in life. Make this plan a regular
habit, and you will be astonished at the results.
1. Decide exactly what you want. This is usually the biggest problem
that people have. They don’t know what they want and then
they’re surprised when they don’t get it.
2. Write your goal clearly in every detail. A goal that is not written
down is merely a wish. When you write it down, you signal to your
superconscious mind that you really want to accomplish this particular
objective.
3. Write your goal in simple, present tense words on a three-by-five
index card and carry it with you to read and re-read throughout
the day whenever you get a chance.
4. Make a list of everything you can think of that you can do that
will move you toward your goal. Making a list intensifies your desire
and deepens your belief that the attainment of the goal is possible
for you.
5. Organize the list by priority. What is more important and what
is less important?
6. Resolve to take action every day on one of the items on your
list. Do something every day that moves you toward your goal so
that you can maintain your momentum.
7. Visualize your goal repeatedly. See it in your mind’s eye
as though it were already a reality. The more clear and vivid your
mental picture of your goal, the faster it will come into your life.
8. Get the feeling of pleasure and enjoyment that you would have
if your goal were realized at this very moment. Create the emotion
of happiness, satisfaction, and pleasure that you would have if
you really achieved your goal.
9. Confidently behave as if your superconscious mind were bringing
your goal into reality. Accept that you are moving toward your goal
and it is moving toward you.
10. Release your goal completely to your superconscious mind. When
you turn your goal over to the power of the universe and just get
out of the way, you will always know the right actions to take at
the right time.
Starting today, try this power of yours, your superconscious mind,
on one goal or idea, and practice it continually until you succeed
in achieving that goal. By doing so, you will move from the “positive
thinking” of the hopeful person to the “positive knowing”
of the totally successful person.
