Spirit Limited In the Flesh : The spirit in man is for the time being bounded by the flesh; the cocoon of man, if you please. The same God spirit which directs in the individual, handicapped as it may be by the fleshly tabernacle, will some time leave the body and go into another and higher sphere of progress, as the butterfly leaves the cocoon. And in that higher plane, where there is no bounds of the flesh, what may the spirit not be able to do?
It may travel to far and distant lands and return in an instant, as our radio vibrations are sent out and caught by the aerials which link in fellowship all the homes of America from Boston to San Francisco. The spirit of man, when freed from the cocoon of the flesh, may have as tiny kernel of limitation as the pure essence of God himself.
So one should not become discouraged by the seeming paradox involved in the necessity of suggestion to a subconscious mind which is omniscient and divine. For whatever you need to do, no one can defy the fact that our subconscious mind, positive affirmation, have great contribution for personal development- as well as the development in spiritual dimension.
So if we would have the subconscious mind work for us we must acknowledge the way nature designed it to work. While it is encased in the cocoon of the fleshly tabernacle, it is amenable to suggestion; and this is the only medium we have to get it to work at such a stage, precisely because this is the present way that God intended it to work. While it is bounded by the flesh, we must work in the fleshly way.
When it is freed from the flesh who may dream or prophesy what laws it will possess or what heights it can reach. We are here now, and the way to get the omniscient part of us to realize and do the wonders of omnipotence, is to work in line with the laws which God has imposed.
Omnipotent and Omniscient : Since the subconscious mind is both omnipotent (all-powerful) and omniscient (all-knowing), it recognizes everything which ought to be done for man's well-being; and if properly directed by suggestion will do it. It will find one's right surroundings, and lead one to his right vocation or profession.
It will choose one's appropriate life mate, and abundance and happiness to him. Its omniscience provides it a thorough comprehension of man's cellular metabolism, glandular secretion, vascular, muscular and nervous activity, and indeed of all things pointing to health and vitality; a knowledge which needs only the guidance of true and intelligent suggestion to make it the omnipotent corrective of every bodily in harmony. |
