STEP ONE
“The new science has furnished us with convincing proof that the so called
subconscious mind is not a mind, but a mechanism—a goal-striving
guidance system consisting of the brain and the nervous system which is
directed by the mind.”
Observe any creature and you will discover evidence of a mechanism put
there by its creator to help it achieve goals. Of course to creatures and
animals a goal is merely survival. And they have been programmed to
succeed at achieving their goal. A bird for example, in order for it to suc-
ceed, is instinctively capable of recognizing when cold weather is imminent
and travels to a warm climate even though it may be thousands of miles
away, sometimes over open seas. The bird does not take courses in naviga-
tion. It does not rely on TV or newspapers for weather reports, nor does it
need a map or a compass. It is programmed to survive.
We differ from animals in that animals do not select their goals. Their goals
are preset through instinct. We are more than creatures, we are creators.
Because our goal is more than just survival, we possess a mechanism that
is more complex than that of any creature on this planet. It has the capacity
to solve problems, invent, and most importantly, allow us to select certain
goals and guide us toward their achievement.
