Chuck’s Place: The Sweet Spot Of The Subconscious Mind

The Divine Couple working together…

The Divine Spark of Spirit is expressed in the Soul through the agency of the High Self and the Subconscious Mind, the Yang and Yin of creation. The suggestions of the High Self are given material life through the creative process of the Subconscious Mind, the bridge between mind and matter.

The Soul is the architect and creator of the physical body it inhabits and runs for the duration of its journey in human form. The Divine couple of High Self and Subconscious Mind, within the Soul, also co-create and deliver the Spark of the Spirit to the center of the human personality,  the human ego.

The High Self, as parent guardian to the ego, is ever available to provide its wisdom and guidance to the ego, upon request. The ego has the free will to choose its actions, and this freedom is generally not overridden by the High Self, except perhaps in a necessary, lifesaving intervention.

The Subconscious Mind is the crown of creation. In contrast to the High Self, its total focus is upon manifestation and maintenance of life. It leaves the thinking function to the High Self and to the ego. Its focus is upon maintaining the health and functioning of the body according to Mother Nature’s laws and the wisdom of the ages.

The Subconscious Mind is extremely receptive to manifesting suggestions delivered to it by its Divine offspring, the ego. Most people are unaware of this fundamental fact of life.  In fact, the rational mind of the ego typically rejects the notion that it has the power to manifest its desires and intentions through autosuggestions to the Subconscious Mind.

Ironically, this rational prejudice materializes as a subconscious habit of  limiting beliefs, which the ego impresses upon the Subconscious Mind through its incessant internal dialogue. The Subconscious Mind does not discriminate. It is receptive and trusting. Be careful what you consistently tell yourself; it is taken quite seriously. What we tell ourselves we become. Like the High Self, the Subconscious Mind expects the ego to grow up and assume responsibility for its thought suggestions.

The greater challenge, for the ego, is the mastery of its desires. The ego was born into a material world that prizes sensual pleasure and material gain and accomplishment. These are all essential qualities that must find healthy balance in a human life. The maturation of the ego ultimately requires alignment with, and acquiescence to, the wisdom of the High Self. It might take the better part of a lifetime for ego to adjust its will to serve wisdom and right action.

In the meantime, ego and the physical body may suffer the negative consequences of ego decisions, despite the innate ability of the Subconscious Mind to heal many maladies. The Subconscious Mind will not override suggestions the ego makes, even though they may lead to ill health. Such is the imperative that the purpose of a human life is for true ego maturity.

Divine rescue would interrupt the opportunity for human growth. However, the ego can utilize the Divine power of the Subconscious Mind constructively, but it must first know how to find its sweet spot.

For the ego to intentionally reach the sweet spot of the Subconscious Mind it must silence the thinking mind with firm directives. This can begin with several minutes of stating autogenic phrases/directives to the physical body:

My feet are relaxed… My ankles are relaxed… my calf muscles are relaxed… My thigh muscles are relaxed… my pelvis is relaxed… my stomach is relaxed… My chest is relaxed… My shoulders, arms and fingers are relaxed… My back is relaxed… My neck is relaxed… My head is relaxed… My face and eyes are relaxed… My feet are relaxed…

These phrases are repeated several times as the body becomes relaxed and drowsy and the mind sinks into a light trance. The mind is no longer engaged in active thinking and building dramas through attaching to thoughts. The Subconscious Mind is now freed from the barrage of countless suggestions from random thoughts, and is fully receptive to a single autosuggestion.

And with this you have arrived at the sweet spot of the Subconscious Mind; you have its full attention.

State your suggestion calmly, confidently and rotely, repeating it for several minutes as you then slip off into the deeper trance of sleep. Do this every day with the calm knowing that, for what you ask, you will, in Divine Order, receive.

When things get really bad it is natural to want to pull inward and protect the self and those closest to you. But it is also very natural to want to help. There are so many ways to help that will not deplete your energy; your physical energy, your spiritual energy, your emotional energy or your mental energy. Let your strong intentions guide you to what is right. And, when the time comes, give what you can while also staying concerned about yourself. For if you are not in good shape the world will lose another good soul. And the world needs all the good souls it can get right now.

Sending you love,

You are as integral to the solution as the next person. When things get really bad everyone has something to give. Search within yourself for what you have to offer and how best to go about giving. In some way, that you are perhaps unaware of at this moment, you will be able to provide something meaningful for another being. Find what it is by staying heart centered and focused on what is needed now. It may not seem like much, but even simple prayers and honest intentions for good to reign in the world may be all that is needed to begin with.

Sending you love,

Certain days have more energy than others and you may notice how one day may bring drastic actions and the next none at all. Such is the law of karma, the law of entropy, and the law of change. Let your own energy dictate to you what is right to do on any given day. Check in with yourself to see how you are feeling and how much energy you have to give to others. Check in with yourself to see if you need something that you are not attending to for yourself as well. Oftentimes, the givers are the ones who most need but refuse to admit it. Take time for yourself and your own mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health today.

Sending you love,

Chuck’s Place: The Stupendous Empowerment Of The Freedom To Think

We have the power to create a new world…
-Artwork © 2025 Jan Ketchel

Victor Frankl, survivor of four concentration camps during the Holocaust, gifted the world with the empirical truth that the inner freedom to think can literally save one’s life. Additionally, he established that no circumstance, however dire, could take that power to think away from anyone. Frankel’s discoveries are particularly relevant to our current world, itself approaching conditions of holocaust on many fronts.

Freedom to think is distinct from freedom to speak. Freedom of speech is extremely perilous in our present world, as it can be met with serious consequences, even death itself. Speaking is extraverted and therefore outwardly expressive. By contrast, thinking is an introverted, inward thought process that impacts the subconscious mind in the realm of the transpersonal Soul.

It is true that unspoken thoughts are themselves energetic entities that crowd the subtle atmosphere and attract the attention of receptive minds, such as through the practice of intentional healing prayer. However, even in this positive instance, targeted thought suggestions to the subconscious mind of another person will only be received if they resonate with that person’s values and beliefs.

Nonetheless, controls upon free speech and extreme propaganda, at the heart of the influencer industry, barrage the human mind incessantly with falsities targeted to control human belief and behavior. These persistent messages can take root and cloud access to one’s inner freedom to think clearly.

To avoid this type of barrage we are wisely advised to limit our exposure to emotionally charged rhetoric that seeks to hook our attention through fear mongering, and to direct our attention instead to our own inner thought processes. Inwardly, we are best advised to find calm in meditation, and truth through inner reflection and connection with our own true Spirit.

Robert Monroe, before each of his journeys into the subtle realms of infinity, always stated the intent that he would only accept an interaction with an entity that was at his level of morality and knowledge, or beyond, and that they should hold only benevolent intent. We can present these same suggestions to our own subconscious mind, with the intent to include both subtle thoughts and interactions, and to protect ourselves from outer world influencers as well, thus insuring maximum protection from undesirable influence, within and without.

The power of thought that Victor Frankl tapped into was the ability to manifest the life he suggested to his subconscious mind on the plane of the imagination, which he could live in and be supported by, as he navigated the horrors of life on the physical plane of existence, until the war ended.

His positive dissociation was hardly schizophrenic nor in denial of physical reality. Victor Frankl was already a practicing psychiatrist by the time he went into the concentration camps, acutely aware of reality in time and space, but he was able, through the power of imagination, to live in two planes of reality simultaneously.

In truth, we all exist simultaneously on several planes of existence. The current state of the world is concurrent with our awakening to the rarified energetic conditions of life on the astral plane, where the power of thought is the key to manifestation. As we move deeper into the Aquarian Age, our utilization of this power has the potential to completely change physical life on this planet.

We are presently at the beginning of such knowledge, but as shown in the accomplishments of Victor Frankl, we can utilize the extreme conditions of now to access the stupendous empowerment of our freedom to think, to both survive now and to manifest the world we truly want, through the power of the subconscious mind.

Best to keep your relation to your subconscious mind sacred and personal. That which we talk about inevitably attracts the energy of resistance. The containment of a suggestion within the womb of self allows it to mature, without interference, and to be born when it is truly due.

May your suggestions also be impregnated with the intent for the greater good of all.

Quietly exercising,
Chuck
