As soon as the subconscious mind accepts any idea, it immediately begins trying to put it into effect. It uses all its resources (and these are far greater than is commonly supposed) to that end. It uses every bit of knowledge that you have ever collected, most of which you have totally forgotten, to bring about its purpose. It mobilizes the many mental powers that you possess, most of which you never consciously use. It draws on the unlimited energy of the mind. It lines up all the laws of nature as they operate both inside and outside of you, to get its way.
Sometimes it succeeds in its purpose immediately. Sometimes it takes a little time, sometimes it takes a long time; but if the thing is not utterly impossible, the subconscious will bring it about—once it accepts the idea.
This law is true for both good and bad ideas. This law, when used negatively, brings sickness, trouble, and failure; and when used positively, brings healing, freedom, and success. We give the orders—the subconscious does the work.
…his secret is with the righteous (Proverbs 3:32).
So, we must be very careful of those which we accept and send to the sub-conscious for acceptance. We must be sure of the validity accompanying our observations and experiences that lead us to accept something. To be 100 % sure of this validity, all we need to do is compare these observations and experience to the truths revealed by God.
Some things that feel bad are good for us, while some things that feel good are really bad for us. The way to know the difference is to trust God’s word. When we accept those truths, then we can know with certainty that we are feeding the right things to our subconscious and that it is working out things for our best good.
Accepting good,
