Stage II

 Autosuggestion or secret SUBCONSCIOUS

Before I turn to the description of individual exercises of the second stage, I would like to explain the mystery of the unconscious and its practical significance. Just as the ordinary consciousness is placed in the heart and acts in the body in the cerebral hemispheres, the subconscious mind is also a quality of the soul and is located in the cerebellum, which is placed at the back of the head. For practical use of magic shall study the psychological function of the cerebellum, it is subconscious.

Every person who has his five senses, the scope of ordinary consciousness is in good condition, so each person can always use the ordinary consciousness. According to our research, there is no power in the whole universe, and hence it is not in man, which does not have its opposite. Therefore, we can consider the subconscious as opposed to ordinary consciousness. What we normally mean by consciousness mental activity, feeling, desire, memory, intelligence, prudence, refracted in his subconscious back action. From a practical point of view, we can consider the subconscious as his opponent. Motive power or momentum for the things that we do not want, for example, for our suffering, mistakes and weaknesses, comes from this very subconscious sphere. Challenge students to expand the work of introspection is the subconscious with the key elements, or four-pole magnet. It is very rewarding work, so as a result of their own reflection or meditation students become confident.

The subconscious mind is so motivating force of all the things we do not want. We now need to learn what to rebuild this one, so to speak, "hostile" aspect of our "I", so that it not only does not harm us, but, on the contrary, contributed to the execution of our desires. Subconscious, like, and everything for its realization in the material world of space and time are needed, there are two basic principles that should be any phenomenon to pass from the causal world into reality. If we deprive the subconscious space and time, the opposite polarity will cease to exist, it will also stop the effect, and then we will be able to carry out their wishes through the subconscious. So, in this suddenly loses consciousness and is the key to the practical application of autosuggestion. If we, for example, will cause our subconscious mind that we tomorrow or at some other time do not want to smoke or drink, you will fix the subconscious blocks us just before a certain time, but no longer. In most cases, such as when a weak or underdeveloped willpower, unconscious almost always manages to outsmart us and lead to failure.

If we are using your suggestion along with the desire deprive the subconscious notion of space and time, in this case affects us only positive part of the subconscious mind, which also include the upper, or normal consciousness and our suggestion desire to be successful. This knowledge and the opportunity are essential to the development of magic, they must be taken into account in the self-suggestion.

The formula chosen for autosuggestion must always be clothed in the formula of the order date.

You can not, for example, to make it look like this: "I will put an end to smoking, drinking," and should read: "I do not smoke," or "I do not drink," or "I do not want to smoke or drink," - according to the that from which they want to get rid of such a suggestion to the subconscious level. The key to self-suggestion is in the form of the order date. This must be observed at all times, no matter what you want or want to translate using self-hypnosis at the subconscious level.
