Want Abundance? Seek First Your Higher Mind

You've heard it said that human beings are divided into three minds, the lower, or animal mind, the everyday mind of normal consciousness, and the higher mind, what Ralph Waldo Emerson called the Oversoul.

For much of my life I resisted accepting the existence of the Higher Mind. I could accept that we have a buried, "animal" mind, responsible for our lower urgings and emotions. Obviously, it was also clear that we have a conscious mind--what all of us use on a day-to-day basis to carry out our tasks as workers or family members, to plan, and to think through the practical problems that arise in our lives. But where was this so-called Higher Mind?

Now I know. Now I am no more doubtful of the Higher Mind's existence than I am that the sun rises in the east.

You can convince yourself of the validity of the Higher Mind, too. In other articles I will give some suggestions as to exactly how you can do this. For now, though, just know that if you want to achieve your dreams--whatever they are--the surest and easiest way is to connect with the power of the Higher Mind.

What is this Higher Mind?

Simply put, it is the mental component that is above our conditioned human awareness. It is nothing less than your true self.

Many people give intellectual assent to the possibility of the Higher Mind, but you must experience it yourself to be thoroughly, unalterably convinced of it. You'll know you're operating from your Higher Mind when you find yourself finally free of your negative conditioning, free of cravings that bring only frustration, and free of doubts as to your purpose in life.

Your everyday mind is not your real self. Your everyday mind has been conditioned from day 1 and is nothing but a set of beliefs, opinions and unthinking responses which constantly threaten to pull you apart and pit you against yourself and others.

The everyday mind has its uses. We need it to do our jobs, to drive our cars, to plan and cook meals, to learn the rules that help us get along in the particular society in which we find ourselves.

But if you want true abundance, happiness and peace, you need to begin to live more of your days from the position of the Higher Mind. Once I learned to do this, I discovered that, in truth, there are no problems--and that the universe was ever-ready to pour upon me all the material and spiritual goods that I could possibly imagine, and then some.

Since learning to connect with the Higher Mind (through such simple, easily learned techniques as releasing), riches of every kind have appeared in my life like magic.

Your own Higher Mind will do the same for you, beginning as soon as you wake up to its presence within and around you. If you haven't yet made that awakening, there is no more vital mission for you to undertake than to do just that. I promise that the effort is worth it!
