The conscious mind is the father. Thoughts that the mind entertains are like sperm cells. The subconscious mind is the mother whose eggs become fertilized by these thoughts in the form of the suggestions she is attracted to, and, hence, opens to conceive.

This resulting pregnancy in the subconscious mind is the creative process of transforming thought into material reality. As matter is gathered and ordered according to the thought blueprint, an idea is born into a physical life. Thus a child of the mind is born.

This might involve the arrangement of events or encounters in the flow of everyday life that fulfill the requirements to materialize one’s intent. Here, you see the law of attraction operating upon physical reality to create, in the flesh, the original thought, belief, suggestion or intention of the conscious mind. This is a step-by-step process, often with many building blocks assembling over time.

Children of the mind can assume many forms. The child of a gratitude practice is the inner experience of a lightness of being and joy of being. As we express gratitude from the conscious mind, the subconscious mind receives this compassionate intent and instructs the body to release deeply calming hormones that bathe the body and mind in utter tranquility.

Should the conscious mind harbor negative thoughts, the subconscious mind will dutifully produce children of distress, as the physical body will be taxed with having to house the energy of negativity. This might result in an inner hormonally produced bad mood, low level depression, or a state of anxiety.

Sometimes people experience a pervasive state of anxiety seemingly not attached to thought. Often this is connected to trauma, where life was frozen in the thought of the constant need for defense, unable to resolve in the delivery of processing its experience.

This frozen state of vigilance becomes a forestalled birthing process, housed in the body, that awaits the conscious mind, in the form of a midwife, to be present to its experience and help deliver it to resolved new life.

Often, outside thoughts enter the conscious mind seeking to influence our beliefs and behaviors. These might result in illegitimate pregnancies, especially if we attach to these thoughts without soulful vetting.

Cautionary guidance here is to remain in a passive mode when excited by a passion-induced thought. This passive state is actually a receptive state where one allows oneself greater access to the broader picture, which might expose the one-sidedness of the outside influence.

Additionally, when we are in the receptive state, we are opened to the greater wisdom of our interconnected reality. Synchronicities come that punctuate and affirm thoughts that present.

In this process, ego, or conscious self, receives the guidance of higher wisdom, which points the way to appropriate action for the greater good of self. With this clarity, passivity gives way to activity, as vetted suggestion is presented to the subconscious mind.

All people are parents and children of their own minds. Claim ownership of these creative possibilities and lead life into greater fulfillment for self and all.

With conscious intention and subconscious joy,
Chuck
