IF WHAT IS IN ONE’S SUBCONSCIOUS MIND ATTRACTS TO ONE WHAT HAPPENS TO ONE, WHAT IS IN MY SUBCONSCIOUS MIND THAT ATTRACTS NEGATIVE PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS TO ME?
Blog post description.
The concept of the subconscious mind and its influence on our lives has captivated many, including Dr. Joseph Murphy, who explored this concept in his book "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind." While the specific details of how the subconscious operates remain a subject of ongoing exploration, there is growing recognition of the mind-body connection and the potential impact of our inner thoughts and beliefs on our experiences.
During my childhood, I faced numerous physical and medical challenges. Looking back, it's possible that these experiences, combined with the struggles of navigating a world where I felt different, might have shaped my perspective in unintentional ways. This is not uncommon, as our early experiences can influence our self-perception and the way we interpret the world around us.
However, it's essential to avoid framing this as a cause-and-effect situation where negative thoughts attract negative experiences. Our lives are shaped by a complex interplay of internal and external factors, and reducing everything to the subconscious mind could be an oversimplification.
That said, the pursuit of positive thinking and self-affirmation can be a valuable tool for personal growth. By consciously cultivating optimism and self-compassion, we can empower ourselves to face challenges and navigate life with greater resilience. This aligns with the core message of Dr. Murphy's book, encouraging individuals to focus on planting positive seeds in their inner landscape for a more fulfilling life.
Conclusion:
While the extent of the subconscious mind's influence remains debated, exploring the power of positive thinking can be a valuable journey for self-discovery and personal growth. By acknowledging the complexity of life's circumstances while actively nurturing a positive and resilient mindset, we can empower ourselves to create a more fulfilling future.
After UCLA College of Letters where I obtained PhD is Philosophy, Psychology and Religion I got a teaching job at the University. I felt uneasy teaching. I applied for a job in the mental health field; I got many offers and within two years was running the mental health center where I worked, supervising psychologists and psychiatrists who have been in that field for many decades.
Eventually, I felt bored by the job (of been executive director...I was barely thirty two years old when I was the executive director of the largest mental health agency in the city where I lived) and quit and tried doing other things.
Nothing I tried worked out for me. So, I did other executive director jobs but eventually wound up quitting and returning to college teaching until I felt that teaching is too easy for me; I felt unchallenged being a college professor (I filled my time writing on assorted subjects that interested me).
Eventually, I realized that I have a destiny and fate. My normal routine is to read until I go to sleep (although there is a huge TV in the house, I seldom watch it) and get up around 5 AM, think for a while, and then go to my computer and type the thoughts that I just had in my sleep.
