Hi, Guys! How are we doing? 

This is message number 02. 

It is a quote from page 44 of Franz Bardon’s book, Initiation into Hermetics. (My e-book version of it.)  

“In every individual that is in his right senses, the normal sphere of consciousness is intact, i.e., he always and at any time is capable of making use of the functions of normal consciousness. As it results from our investigations, there is no power in the universe or in man that does not vary between opposites. Hence we may consider sub-consciousness as the opposite to normal consciousness. That which in normal consciousness we subsume by the concepts of thinking, feeling, willing, memory, reason, and intellect is reflected in our sub-consciousness in a contrary way. Practically speaking, we can regard our sub-consciousness as our opponent. The incentive or the impulse to all that is undesirable, such as our passions, our failures, our weaknesses, originates just in this very sphere of consciousness. To the pupil now falls the task of introspection to disclose the work of this subconscious-ness, according to the key of the elements or the tetra-polar magnet. This is a satisfactory task in as much as the pupil will acquire self-reliance by his own reflection or meditation.

Hence, subconscious-ness is the incentive of all we do not wish for. Let us learn how to transmute this, so to speak, antagonistic aspect of our ego, so that it not only does no harm, but also on the contrary will help us to realize our desires. Subconscious-ness needs time and space in the material world for its realization, two basic principles valid for all things that have to be transmuted into reality from the causal world. Withdrawing time and space from the subconscious, the opposite polarity will cease to bring its influence to bear upon us, and we shall be able to realize our wishes through the subconscious. 

This sudden elimination of the subconscious offers the key for the practical use of autosuggestion. If, e.g., we inculcate in the subconscious-ness the wish of not giving in tomorrow or any other time, to any of our passions, say smoking or drinking alcohol, subconscious-ness will have time enough to put some hindrance, directly or indirectly, in our way. In most of these cases, mainly, in the presence of feeble or underdeveloped willpower, sub-conscious-ness will nearly always succeed in taking us by surprise or causing failures. On the other hand, if we exclude the concepts of time and space from sub-consciousness while impregnating it with a desire; only the positive pole of sub-consciousness will affect us, normal consciousness being equated, and our impregnate desire must have the success we are expecting. This knowledge and the possibilities related to it are of the greatest importance for the magical development and have, therefore, to be considered as far as self-suggestion is concerned.” End Quote. 

We can use this as a ‘variation’ on our, THEME OF NOT MOVING!?! 

Wishing you well,
